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.
Any information or suggestions?
Geoffrey

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/).
