Yet another PDF export tool -- WikiPublisher

And here is our interesting-new-tool-of-the-week. :) Trying to find something similar to `doc-book.sf.net` I stumbled upon WikiPublisher [1]: [1]: http://www.wikipublisher.org It's basically a plugin for 'pmwiki' that outputs a 'WikiBook XML' and a server that converts this syntax to PDF. This allows to ouput a PDF from any wiki page *and* create whole books based on inter-wiki links. You can try this by clicking Typeset book at [2]: [2]: http://www.wikipublisher.org/wiki/index.php?n=Wikipublisher.UserGuide The server is written in Perl and uses Latex to do the job. To use it, we'd need to write a plugin for Moin to export to the Wikibook XML and run the Perl server. Pros: * Backend is upstream and actively developed * Customizable PDF * Backend is in Perl (not PHP) Cons: * Requires yet another export mechanism * Backend is in Perl (not Python) * DocBook out of the way -- how to do translations?? -d -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos(a)jabber.org, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."
