[mwlib] Re: Link displayed in PDF generated doc

[pg]

Hi Volker, (1) Link Issue Yes I understood that... But as explained (see previous mail with image) it DOES APPEAR and DOES WORK for some links, but for others the link is NOT displayed. Still open... (2) Margin issue Corrected in dev version. The egg and link system used by python is somewhat surprising. But I finally could use the adapted version. Closed. Tnx.

Clicking the arrow should take you directly to the article. Regards, Volker pg wrote: Hi Volker, Here is another problem that I discovered (visible both in dev version and in stable version). Some links are displayed with preceding arrow (->), but some are displayed without. Apparently this has to do with the presence of accent in the link words. In the joined screenshot, you see part of a text. All the elements in the bullet list are supposed to be linked. But only 2 of them include the "->" printed flag.

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.
