This may be a bit of a longshot for you however, before turning to XWiki I had
taken a look a egroupware (
www.egroupware.org). It seems to be capable of doing
what you would like, as a warning though the code is a bit overgrown and can be
very messy in places. It is in php and they have managed to incorporate
wikkitikkitavi into the product as their wiki engine.
I suspect that with some work it may be possible to incorporate XWiki into this
project using the php java extension

a non-trivial task.

Subject: [xwiki-users] Need Aggregate PDF's with TOC
I am attempting to use Xwiki as a CMS for software development project
documentation. A key requirement is to generate aggregate documents with
page numbers and a table of contents. Currently, Xwiki doesn't seem to offer
this feature, so I thought I would try using Cocoon to pull documents from
Xwiki, aggregate them, and generate a PDF. (Cocoon lets you get source
documents either from the file system, or from http URL's.)
Has anyone attempted this before? I am running into difficulty and am not an
expert on Xwiki or Cocoon, though I do have some experience with xslt
technology. Before spinning my wheels too much, I thought I would post here
to see if there might be a better way to accomplish what I want to do.
I really like what I see in Xwiki, but if there is another product that
might work better for this requirement, I might consider it. I've looked at
a number of free CMS products, and so far I haven't found any that offer the
ease of Wiki editing with the kind of aggregate PDF generation I want
(specifically, TOC with page numbers). Last year in teaching this class I
used Apache Forrest, but it's not very user friendly. I would love to find
something that would be easier for the students to use.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...
