[Mediawiki-l] Export entire wiki to pdf

[Florian Pöck]

Hi,

first of all - thanks for the reply.

i found the following extension:

 >> http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Pdf_Export

which sounds pretty interesting - the question is just: can i trigger 
that pdf-generation from cli/cron as well - or am i forced to trigger it 
manually - which wouldn’t work here (following the core idea of having a 
daily & auto-generated snapshot).


Best Regards
Florian
