Hi
I am new to Wiki which we are using to prepare a manual collaboratively. We have downloaded all the pages (about 130) into an XML which runs to just over 15,000 lines. I now wish to convert this to a PDF. Does anyone know if a utility already exists that might make this easier. The main problem appears to be the Wiki formatting stuff embedded in the text blocks.
Do you mean that you have a load of MediaWiki pages wrapped in XML by Special:Export, and you want to convert the wiki markup to PDF? If so, I wouldn't say the "Wiki formatting stuff" is not so much the "main problem", as "the whole of the problem". But fret not! A tool has already been written specifically for this purpose: See http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikipdf (and http://wiki.auf-trag.de/).
