Dear all,
I'm a happy XWiki user since 2013, deployed as internal wiki for a tech
team. Now I'm evaluating the usage of XWiki as CMS for writing product
documentation. In the past I used Alfresco but I think the XWiki approach
is
more flexibile and easy for non-technical guys. The latest version I tried
was the 6.4 which it works pretty well for all the use cases I'd like to
fit, except for this need: I'd like to write a set of pages, and then
arrange them in a structured manual with a table of Content, i.e. using a
tree view and moving pages from a section to another, and then export them
as PDF.
For example, I'd like to write 4 wiki pages, and then I'd like to create a
PDF picking up three of them defining a table of contents such as
* page1
o page4
o page2
* page3
I saw this feature as plugin for Confluence: is this available in XWiki or
scheduled for one of the next releases?
There is Multipage PDF Export Application [1] but it uses the parent-child
relationship that has been (kind of) deprecated starting with XWiki 7.2. It
should still work though. The new way to organize wiki pages in a tree
hierarchy is using Nested Pages, but it doesn't support the notion of child
ordering, i.e. you cannot specify that page4 is before page2 (in your
example). The old parent-child relationship doesn't support it either but
the Hierarchy Macro extension (used by the Multipage PDF Export Application
I linked) has implemented it. I'm not aware of any equivalent extension for
Nested Pages.
Hope this helps,
Marius
