Hi there,
maybe a stupid question: but is there a means available in the OOo Wiki
to get renderings of whole chapters (e.g. "writer") with all
subchapters, such that one could create a hard-copy printout of it (to
be read while at vacation, in a restroom, etc.) that matches the old
PDF-developer guide?
Just an update on this. With a bit of work, we have the PDF extension
up and running in the Wiki. it went live late yesterday, and seems to
be working fairly well.
You will see evidence of this extension as a new box on the left of the
Wiki pages titled "My Collection". You can use this to build custom
collections or books to be printed.
Please read the help for this extension before you try to use it:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Help:Collections
Also, the actual conversion is done on an external server right now (we
are looking at setting things up so that the conversion can be done
locally) so please keep that in mind as you use this feature.
Limitations:
- You can have a maximum of 500 pages per PDF.
- Wide tables can make the PDF conversion fail.
Still to fix/get working:
- The Template Blacklist feature is still not working right.
- Premade collections for each chapter for the Developer's Guide still
need to be built and linked (I will do that soon). The Collections can
be found in the Collections category:
