GenPDFAddOnDemo

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.

Level 1 Heading

Level 2 Heading

Level 3 Heading

Level 4 Heading

Level 5 Heading
Level 6 Heading
TWiki only goes this far frown HTMLDOC goes to level 15 smile

Features

Some of the cool features are:
  • Title topic is a fully rendered TWiki topic, editable from within TWiki's normal edit mechanism.
  • Headers/Footers are fully rendered TWiki variables embedded in HTMLDOC special comments, but defined in a normal TWiki 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)

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?

Overflowing tables
Tables_can_overflow_if_you_have_long_words_in_the_cells If_you_generate_a_page_for_the_GenPDFAddOn_topic,_you_will_see_that_text_will_overflow_off_the_page,_similar_to_verbatim_text_above.
