[pmwiki-users] New version of wikibook PDF server available

[John Rankin]

Administrators wanting an option to produce high quality 
PDF files from wiki content may wish to look at 
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PublishPDF

A new server that supports the latest features in the 
PublishPDF library is now available. This is for those 
who wish to run their own typesetting server in association 
with PmWiki.

The new version adds a number of improvements and fixes:
• add support for FIG(idref) and TAB(idref) markup — output a label
  after figure or table captions, if the <figure> or <table> carries an id
• add support for <group class=‘comment’> that omits the content of the
  <group> 
 </group> block
• provide a more detailed message when the url access check fails and
  access is denied
• include checks on image size limits (file size and width/height dimensions)
  to prevent runaway processing
• provide a suitable error message if a requested image cannot be retrieved

For more information, see 
http://www.wikipublisher.org/wiki/index.php?n=ReleaseLog.20060717

Sites making extensive use of the features offered in the 
PublishPDF library will probably want to set up their own 
local typesetting server.
