Can you clarify that please. This thread/discussion has gotten rather 
long and confusing and I lost track what you are refering to. Is it 
related to the following point? Which is related to 
http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/ticket/400 .

This is related to the parser (mwlib) - therefore any configuration 
should probably be done there. I know that it is not exactly great to 
maintain multiple configurations - but currently I can't really offer a 
solution. As mentioned above your issue is described in 
http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/ticket/400 . Feel free to reopen this 
ticket and discuss details with the parser expert Ralf ;)

I added a ticket for that. I am not sure if and how reportlab (the 
toolkit for generating PDFs) supports double side printing at all 
though. I'll check that later. http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/ticket/418
By the way: did you check out the books you can order at pediapress from 
your wiki. The PDFs are rendered with latex and they feature a double 
sided layout ;)

How would you want to style the links? If you have any good suggestions 
please open a ticket at http://code.pediapress.com

Best,
