Hi Gustaf,

I read through the xowiki docs regarding exporting using the book prototype, but wasn't able to render all pages in the instance into this format.

Can you provide instructions on how to generate a page similar to http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/xowiki-doc/ from all pages in an instance?

Thanks.

The book-export is not a general exporter for all pages, but exports only pages with a page_order attribute (in the edit-form the field called "section"), which have as well the publish_status "ready" (in the admin/list, publish has green symbol). These pages can be transformed into one html-page using the prototype page book-print (if you instance is called /wiki, type /wiki/book-print).

Save the page generated page and edit as desired (e.g. adding style-files, adding more info, etc.). You can also make your own variant of the book-print page, which can be found in packages/xowiki/book-print.page). The single html-file can be converted to pdf using the usual html-conversion tools, or can be printed into pdf.

For exporting all pages (e.g. exchange between instances), use the export functionality in admin).
