I have uploaded the latest beta of the script library for
typesetting wiki page collections into PDF files. All users
of older beta releases are likely to benefit from the new
features and improvements. The scripts can be downloaded from
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PublishPDF. This includes
the latest issues report.
Features of this release are:
- improved image handling
-- large images are shrunk to fit the printed page
-- images float to the next page if there is no room at the
current position
-- left and right floated images float to the inside margin
of printed pages
-- image alt text is treated as a caption; if the image
already has a caption, the alt text is used as the text
for the list of figures
-- a paragraph ending in [[<<]] that follows an image is
treated as part of the caption and floats with it
- enhanced pdf bookmarks and document table of contents
-- the first heading on a page and all subsequent headings
of the same level are treated as division markers
-- such headings generate pdf bookmarks when typesetting
a single page
-- optionally, they can be used to generate page breaks
and a table of contents
-- in published page collections, such headings may
optionally be autonumbered
- long advanced tables now automatically break across
pages (long simple tables still don't)
- add a (:typeset-page:) directive for sites wanting to
disable the 'every page has a pdf icon' option and
let authors decide which pages will offer an option
to typeset the page
- various bug fixes and minor improvements
The next release will focus on improved handling of wikistyles.
