Situation: I have a manual where each chapter has its' own page/article. The size of it makes it difficult to combine it all into one page/article.
Problem: I wish at time to be able to view the entire manual, e.g. for printing purposes.
Question: Is there any way of combining pages dynamically, so that I e.g. can set up a metapage of sorts that imports the content of each of the manual's pages dynamically?
Any and all help will be appreciated :-)
With regards, Arne Meyer Vedø-Hansen

Hello,
There is no way to do it easily actually. You can easier print each page or export every pages through the Special:Export page and then copy and paste each article in one page.
The german wikipedia is producing PDF files containing different pages: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiReader
I am not sure if they have an automatic tool for this or if it's 100% handed manually.

Yes. The template system in 1.3 allows any page to be "transcluded" as though it were a template. Just use {{page_name}} - but note that to get something from the main namespace (i.e. just [[Page_name]] not [[Project_name:Page_name]] or whatever) you have to use {{:page_name}}, otherwise it will assume you're referring to [[Template:Page_name]] not [[Page_name]].
Hope that makes sense.

There is a wiki2PDF Project in development: http://wiki.auf-trag.de/ You can get the source, install it at home and feed it with a list of articles.
