Good evening Volker ! Thank you for your advice, code and explanations. The status now for me is: - most of the problems are solved (some by modifying customconfig.py) - remaining : title conversion between wiki and PDF - major issue. I would like to use a flat file containing a simple conversion table... - remaining : TOC construction (but for now it is a NTH - but I am eager to see later your version declared "stable") Regarding the metabook doc, I could not find it in the "site-packages" subtree. It is somewhere else ? Where ? Regarding your py script, I got this message: p...@mmm:~$ python metabookgenerator.py Traceback (most recent call last):   File "metabookgenerator.py", line 4, in <module>     import simplejson ImportError: No module named simplejson How would I solve this ? So I am still looking for the metabook / json format ! Finally, I am not familiar with python and php (I wrote quite complexe applications in Java, C, C++... bash... and a dozen of older strange langages, including Fortran and PDP assembler M11... some times ago).  All this to explain that I would not be a reliable contributor in Python... I would just be able to understand and fix errors in very simple programs... Have a good night... or a good day... best regards, Philippe Volker Haas wrote: Hi Philippe philippe gonze wrote: ** instead of: : [[SomeArticle ]] write: : [[SomeArticle|Display title of the Article]] *I do not use collections. I am using mw-render and pdftk in bash scripts.... More convenient than UI-driven actions. * Ok, in that case I guess you really want to know more about the metabook format ;) Actually there is a documentation about the metabook format in the mwlib/docs directory (should also be located in the site-packages dir of mwlib as described below for mwlib.rl) I'll also attach a small script which constructs a json encoded metabook file. The input is a list of chapters, with an associated list of articles and their display titles. If you constructed a metabook (with the script I attached for example) you can render a pdf by using the -m option for the metabook instead of a zipfile. e.g. mw-render -w rl -o test.pdf -c http://en.wikipedia.org/w -m mbook.json One thing to note: the attached script is a somewhat quick and dirty hack, so don't hold me responsible for anything related to that ;) > - force page jump between all wiki pages > Add pageBreakAfterArticle = True to your customconfig.py as described in the README.txt of mwlib.rl *The README.txt just mentions files named customconfig.py and pdfstyles.py... but WHERE ARE THESE FILES ? * If your on some kind of linux they should be in the site-packages directory so something like: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mwlib.rl/mwlib/rl/pdfstyles.py The customconfig.py file does not exist - you have to create it and then override the settings from pdfstyles.py. If you checked out the sources with mercurial, the pdfstyles.py file can by found in the source-tree you checked out. > - specify the presence/absence of footnote documents regarding author > and/or tool > Can you clarify that please. > Am I asking too much ?

Using a tool like pdftk is currently the only way. *Was solved before so no more prob.* > And by the way what is a "metabook" ?... Where is it documented ?

What are you trying to do? *I am simply writing a large private wiki (probably 200 articles, and I try to organize a PDF version (with title page, article numbering, TOC...). * ok. Regarding the TOC: just a couple of days ago I implemented an alpha version of a TOC which is not used currently.
