This looks very useful for generating PDF versions, at least if the article or book is not very image-intensive. Might this also eventually be used to implement the stable versions concept?

On a note by [[User:Korrigan]], I have adapted (rather, rewritten) the PDF Export extension for the toolserver. You can now get a single or multiple Wiki(m|p)edia pages as a PDF, by entering/linking to an URL. As the extension, I am using HTMLDOC, so the output is as good (or as bad) as that package. Don't blame me.
I shall demonstrate using our new meme overlord, [[Horse-ripping]], and the related article [[Zoosadism]] from en.wikipedia: http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/pdf.php?title=Horse-ripping%7CZoosadism
Additional parameters (add them to the URL): &language=XX (XX being the language code; en is default) &project=wikibooks (default:wikipedia) &nogfdl (3 pages of GFDL are appended by default; add this parameter to prevent that)
I haven't figured out how to make HTMLDOC generate a TOC. Maybe tomorrow.
Cheers, Magnus
