====== Exporting ====== Since dokuwiki can be used for documenting projects, it would be useful to be able to export its contents to another format, like docbook (([[http://docbook.sourceforge.net/| Docbook]] is an [[http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/| oasis standard]] for documents, is quite minimalist and can be rendered to pdf, dvi, tex, man, xhtml, OpenOffice, RTF)), or some bureautic format (([[http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office| OpenOffice.org's xxml]] for example)). I've been using a wiki for a school project, where we had to deliver some reports. We made them off-wiki and that impaired the usefulness of the wiki. Copy and paste the text was not useful. Oh, sorry - I've just discovered the print CSS! Docbook would be good, too, but this is fine. > What is "the print CSS"? I noticed it in the DokuWiki feature comparison chart, but can't find more info. I assume it is a way of controlling DokuWiki's printable output by using a style sheet somewhere? --- //[[douglas@pcc.com|Douglas Beagley]] 2005-09-29 11:14// >> The CSS standard provides a mechanism to apply different stylesheets to different output media. Examples for media types are //screen//, //print//, //handheld//, and //aural// (for programs that "read" the webpage to you). The DokuWiki standard template provides a stylesheet named ''print.css'', that is only applied when you print a page (or use the print preview function of your browser). I hides all the button bars and formats the page in a simple, printable style. It could be prettier, though. Any volunteers? --- //[[chris@chrisarndt.de|ChristopherArndt]] 2005-09-29 19:47// Print CSS is good for some things, but for our work we still need some form of export functionality. DokuWiki is excellent for collaborative document writing and information sharing between the design team, but we eventually need to coalesce the information into an actual document that can be shipped to a customer. For our needs, OpenOffice export would be ideal; DocBook would also be good. During export would be nice to be able to map heading levels in the document to resulting heading levels (for example, I'd like to map each page to a level 1 heading, and have headings in the page be level 2 or more). > Please see my [[wiki_trails|wiki trails]] proposal --- //[[primoz.verdnik@gmail.com|Primoz Verdnik]] 2006-10-13 08:13// > I have been thinking about exporting to latex. Anyone else interested in this? --- //[[wiki@chrislee.dhs.org|Chris Lee]] 2005-04-09 04:24// >>Yes, very much, please share your experience with this! m.e., 2005-04-09 > Then, let's make some pages for each export type and have people contribute how they want it done. --- //[[wiki@chrislee.dhs.org|Chris Lee]] 2005-04-09 18:05// ===== How to write an Export ===== Just a quick note for everyone who wants to write an export to some format. Do not waste your time by basing your work on the current release's parser. Instead use a [[wiki:development]] version and write a renderer for the new [[wiki:parser]]. --- //[[andi@splitbrain.org|Andreas Gohr]] 2005-04-10 11:37// > Can you put together a mini-how-to for doing this (all the steps..)? I really want to make a renderer for the AurigaDoc XML format.. Auriga can then convert to a ton of formats (pdf, HTML one-page, multi-page, DHTML menu with multiple pages, PS, CHM!, etc.) -- see [[Exporting AurigaDoc]]. --- //[[adi@tase.ro|Adrian Tanase]] 2005-04-20// ===== Export Format Discussions===== * [[Exporting Latex]] - Exporting DokuWiki pages to Latex * [[Exporting Docbook]] - Exporting DokuWiki pages to Docbook * [[Exporting Website]] - Exporting DokuWiki pages to a full HTML website and into MS HTML Help * [[Exporting RTF]] - Exporting DokuWiki pages to RTF format * [[Exporting Word]] - Exporting DokuWiki pages to Word format * [[Exporting OpenOffice]] - Exporting DokuWiki pages to OpenOffice Writer format * [[Exporting PDF]] - Exporting DokuWiki pages to PDF format * [[Exporting AurigaDoc]] - Exporting DokuWiki pages to XML AurigaDoc format * Google SiteMap - any one want to do this as a plugin?
