I've been buried
in tons of work lately so I haven't had much time to think about CoWiki. But I
did complete some XSL-FO stylesheets for the XML documents that CoWiki stores,
which I think came out very nicely.
I made a few small
changes to one or two of the classes too, to be able to extract a complete
xml document from CoWiki through http, which I will have to extract later at a
convenient time. It's mostly using the XmlPrettyPrinter plugin to produce a
"raw" XML document (through a parameter), and having a special "xml" parameter
in the global command list.
The files are
enclosed along with this mail. It's six files, three for A4 and three for
letter format; one is "normal" text, one is with an additional header and the
last including a cover page which can be adapted to the user's own
need.
The procedure is
quite simple, wget the document you're interested in, run it through Apache FOP
or any similar software with the appropriate stylesheet, and bam! you've got a
fully-formatted PDF. Don't know if it could be made to work server-side, but for
clients it works great.
Incidentally, I
haven't tested it yet with Apache FOP, just Altova Xml2Pdf. But the spec should
be the same. Oh, and I have to fix support for tables! (Doh!) I haven't done
that yet.
Let me know if you
find it interesting.
