<!-- PDFSTART -→ inserted here to avoid a blank page for the Foswiki TOC
This is a sample document to show what can be achieved with the
GenPDFAddOn Plugin.
Here are some headings - note that <h1> level 1 headers always appear on
a new page and is treated as a new chapter in the PDF. So the Level 1 heading
is not included to avoid the extra chapter.
Level 2 Heading
Level 3 Heading
Level 4 Heading
Level 5 Heading
Level 6 Heading
Foswiki only goes this far
HTMLDOC goes to level 15
Level 7 Heading
Level 8 Heading
Level 9 Heading
Level 10 Heading
Level 11 Heading
Level 12 Heading
Level 13 Heading
Level 14 Heading
Level 15 Heading
Features
Some of the cool features are:
- Title topic is a fully rendered Foswiki topic, editable from within Foswiki's normal edit mechanism.
- Headers/Footers are fully rendered Foswiki variables embedded in HTMLDOC special comments, but defined in a normal Foswiki topic.
- Images are included
- Margins can be defined
- PDF permissions can be restricted (this has 'print,no-copy' so you can't copy and paste the text)
- Recursive rendering of child topics, such as GenPDFAddOnDemoChild
Limitations
There are a few limitations, like
Really long lines of text in verbatim blocks will run off the edge of the page unless you break them. This is a limitation of htmldoc, not the plugin, so don't complain to me. There is nothing I can do about it but complain to the authors of htmldoc, which you could do anyway. Then again - how would you fix it?
