Re: [xwiki-users] Export a section of page instead of whole page
Thank you. But creating other page to just export a part of page seems inefficient. I have two ideas but don't know how can I do that.. 1) In export page option dialog, giving choice to select or deselect the headings themselves. Just like what currently cover, comments, etc have. 2) Writing a macro to export the section. It won't be universally used for any section. But at least we could add the macro to some specific section to display a download/export menu. Any help is much appreciated.. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Export-a-section-of-page-instead-of-whole-page-tp7603284p7603297.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: [xwiki-users] Export a section of page instead of whole page
You have a "section" parameter in display macro (see
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Display%20Macro).
The limitation (or the good things depending on what you want exactly)
is that it includes the heading itself too.
So to use that, what you could do is create another page in which you
put {{display reference="Space.MyBigPage" section="HMyheading"/}} and
export that page.

You can’t do this easily. What you could do is have several pages and
{{include}} them in your top level page so that you can export the page you
wish.
An alternative would be to do some coding with scripting but I haven’t done it
and can’t help. The idea would be to create a temporary page with scripting
where you’d use the XWiki XDOM API to extract content you wish to extract and
save it in that temporary page before starting the export on that page.
