MoinMoin 1.6 has DocBook exporter, which can be used with conversion (XSLT, XSL-FO etc.) to produce Word (ML) or PDF documents (with XSL-FO renderer or publish addon input).
But a truely nice solution is PdfAction pluggin to create PDF from Wiki pages on-the-fly. It handles styles and images very well, uses Print stylesheet and has a lot of PDF options. http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ActionMarket/PdfAction which uses HTMLDOC, as open-source GPL-licenced tool. HTMLDOC has a layout engine with HTML 4.01 and CCS2 support with powerful featured like automatic clickable TOC with page numbers and side bar TOC, title page, live text and image links, etc. There's been socket incompatibility with MoinMoin 1.6.1, but the latest 1.6.3 works very well. There is a limited charset support (code-page, not Unicode), but it is selectable. Better support is in latest HTMLDOC 1.9.x. HTMLDOC needs to be built manually (binaries are commercial), but it builds fairly easy, which was tested on Windows with VS2005 with few tweaks (changed to static libs for portability, added openssl, couple of C++ quirks). But for the quality, features and ease of use it is worth the effort. So it is a good PDF solution for newer Wiki based on Moin 1.6.3 or later. --- On Mon, 3/3/08, Chris Burke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Igor Zhuravlov wrote: > > Some parts of documentation (Package Manager, Grid, > Plot) are moved out on > > wiki.
