[pmwiki-users] How to create a simple standalone PDF document with internal links

[Randy Brown]

Nigel, thanks for the suggestion. I did look at those recipes, as well  
as at GeneratePDF, before I wrote.

All the PDF recipes look very good, but for several reasons I passed  
on them, at least for this quick project:

- They seem like overkill for my task at hand.

- My screen output is already just what I want to print - these  
solutions might mess that up.

- The simplest recipe (PublishPDF) requires me to install (compile?)  
htmldoc package, which I couldn't make much sense of (I'm not an open  
source development pro).

- The other recipes appear to be major packages with a learning curve.

- I'm using Pmwiki's Creole recipe. I imagine GeneratePDF, being  
simple and written in part or whole by Pm, would handle Creole fine,  
but I'm not so sure about the other recipes. For example, I don't see  
any reference to Creole markup in WikiPublisher's manual.

I'm hoping there are a couple of lines of code I could insert into my  
local template to do what I want. If not, I may have to "buy the  
entire farm to pet that cute pony".
