[xwiki-users] Printable Index
So I am writing this Quality Manual using XWiki; The main manual is one page, has many headings, and a TOC. There's also a bunch of supporting procedures, all linked to one another, and the system is really slick The problem is, we sometimes need to hand out hard printed copies of the manual to source inspectors to take with them. So when I go to print the manual, I want to include an Index with page numbers like in a book. Is there a way to do that?

Hi Dan, When you export a page as PDF you have the option to include a "Table of Contents" ("List headings at the beginning of the PDF document, usually right after the cover page."). The generated Table of Contents shows the page numbers (where each section is located). See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Exports . Is that what you need? Hope this helps, Marius On Wed, Apr 20, 2016 at 8:02 AM, dullfig <[email protected]> wrote:

Yes! this is probably what I need. I will have to test. I see it is possible to export directly from a program, correct? in other words, no user involvment.

darn. there seems to be a bug when exporting in chrome. I checked exporting in IE, and it worked fine. But in chrome it seemed to display gibberish to the screen. So I saved the gibberish to a text file, and started doing some detective work. Comparing side by side the outputs of both IE and Chrome, I have discovered the following: In chrome, all ">>" are being replaced by ">>" and all "<<" are being replaced by "<<" The problem does not seem to be Chrome, as I can display the output produced in IE in Chrome. Is XWiki detecting the browser and somehow changing the output?

ok, I traced the problem to PlantUML. I have several diagrams in the manual, and every page with a diagram does not export right. But it's my fault, I have been modifying the macro to output SVG images instead of PNG images, so that I can embed clickable links in them. I rolled back the macro to "as installed" and all is well. I will have to discover how I'm braking pdf export with my changes. Can PDF export handle SVG images?
