NSK has suggested Drupal as an alternative. It looks
good, and its book
view feature has possibilities.
Another possibility is simply porting the document to DocBook, and
generating (X)HTML to serve on the web, and then using the source to
generate PDF for printing.
*Or* I could just talk my boss into abandoning the paper paradigm . . .
because I *really* like Mediawiki (philosophically; I am no coder by any
stretch of the imagination)
I think these are my alternatives right now, because it appears that
MediaWiki can't print the entire wiki . . . Ooh, ooh, how about an
export to DocBook function? ;)
I can't tell you specifics about specifics, but here's what I would do:
# Come up with a TOC that has all of the articles you want to be in
the printed publication. Or just a regular expression to match. Or
just use all of them. (For the latter 2, I'd look at indexShowChunk()
in ./special/SpecialAllpages.php for an idea of how to get all pages.)
# Write a script to read the list and then compile it.
# Run it through your wiki2tex script (or whatever works).
# Take the resulting files and do your printing thing.
If you need help, feel free to ask.
