-===== Installation =====
+===== Usage =====
+There are three ways to export:
+  * **Export one page**\\ You simply need to call the page with an additional ''do=export_pdf'' URL parameter. This starts the PDF export of the page. Some templates let the plugin extend the [[plugin:dw2pdf:pagetools]] automatically. For other templates you need to implement this yourself to add a button or similar somewhere in your template design.
+  * **Export an entire namespace**\\ There is the URL parameter ''do=export_pdfns'' which let you export a chosen entire namespace as one PDF (e.g. use ''&do=export_pdfns&book_ns=my:namespace&book_title=Mytitle'' (See [[plugin:dw2pdf:configuration|Configuration options]] on how to exclude specific pages). Or create a link with the [[#Syntax|syntax]]).
+  * **Export selection of pages**\\ If you need to select just some pages to export to one PDF, you can use [[plugin:Bookcreator]] plugin, which offers an interface for the dw2pdf plugin.
-To use the plugin, you simply need to call the page passing it a //"do=export_pdf"// PHP argument for a single page. Some templates let the plugin extend the pagetools automatically. For other templates you need to implement this yourself to add a button or similar somewhere in your template design.
+===== HowTo's=====
+Please refer to the following pages to learn how to use or support the plugin:
+  * Set [[plugin:dw2pdf:configuration|Configuration options]] via URL or via the Configuration Manager
+  * [[plugin:dw2pdf:pagetool|How to add export button in pagetools/menu's]]
+  * [[plugin:dw2pdf:pdftemplates|Layout and Customize the exported PDF for your (corporate) identity]]
+  * Plugin developers: [[plugin:dw2pdf:exportsupport|How to support export to PDF in your plugin]], including creating your own replacement patterns for use in HTML templates
-See the [[#Syntax|syntax]] section on how to export an entire namespace as one PDF.
-==== Export button in pagetools/menu's ====
-{{:plugin:dw2pdf_pagetool_button_dokuwiki.png?150 |}}Since 2013-12-08 Binky release this plugin automatically adds the export button to the page tools of the DokuWiki template. When required, you can disable it via the Configuration Manager.
-For more details about how to implement it in your template, see [[plugin:dw2pdf:pagetool]].
 ===== Syntax =====
@@ Line 78: / Line 79: @@
 Handling of [[config:startpages]]: If the page ''<namespace>:start'' doesn't exist, it checks if the page with the name ''<namespace>'' exists and will add to the pdf as well.
-===== Configuration =====
-The plugin provides a few configuration settings that can be configured in the [[plugin:config|Configuration Manager]]. Some can be overridden via url-parameters.
-  * ** Only via url-parameters: **
-==== Document Title ====
-''do=export_pdf'' -- Export current wiki page
-  * ''book_title=<urlencode%20title>''\\ Optional, default using the title of the wiki article.
-''do=export_pdfns'' -- Export the requested namespace
-  * ''book_ns=<namespace>'' Exported namespace
-  * ''book_title=<urlencode%20title>''
-  * ''book_nsdepth=<number>'' (optional) -- Down to which level the pages are collected for inclusion (default: all levels included)
-  * ''book_order=<order>'' (optional) -- Sort included pages by ''natural''(default), ''date'' or ''pagename''
-Parameter ''selection'' is posted with a page list -- Export pdf book via [[Bookcreator]] Plugin
-  * ''book_title=<urlencode%20title>''
-  * ** Override-able via url-parameters: **
-If a url-parameter is provided, that value is used, otherwise the plugin config setting from the Configuration Manager is used.
-==== Pagesize ====
-''pagesize=A4|letter|etc''\\
-A page format as supported by mPDF. Usually ''A4'' or ''letter''. See the docs for other allowed values for the ''format'' parameter of [[http://mpdf1.com/manual/index.php?tid=184|mpdf()]]. [[https://mpdf.github.io/|mpdf.github.io]]
-==== Orientation ====
-''orientation=portrait|landscape''\\
-Page orientation of the whole document, you can select ''Portrait'' or ''Landscape''.
-Also you can change the orientation of only some pages. Adding the syntax will change the orientation, until you change it with the other orientation syntax.
-  ~~PDF:LANDSCAPE~~
-  ~~PDF:PORTRAIT~~
-==== Double-sided document ====
-''doublesided=0|1''\\
-By default a double-sided PDF document is outputted. The first page is an odd page (left hand-side page) and further even-odd page pairs are added. Disabling this will output a single-sided document with only odd pages. The single-sided document doesn't add additional blank pages if a Table of Contents or cover page is included (and you can still send it to the printer as double-sided, but it won't have odd-even formatting).
-==== Table of Contents ====
-''toc=0|1''\\
-''toclevels=<top>-<max>''\\
-An auto-generated Table of Contents can be included by enabling the setting 'toc' (values: 0 or 1). By default, the same headings are added to the PDF Table of Contents as in the TOC for a wiki article (as set with [[config:toptoclevel]] and [[config:maxtoclevel]]). The range of headings can be overridden by setting 'toclevels' e.g. ''1-3''. Where the values correspond to ''<toptoclevel>-<maxtoclevel>''.
-==== Bookmarks ====
-''%%maxbookmarks=0|1|2|3|4|5%%''\\
-By default the plugin generates PDF bookmarks for each headline in the source page. You can lower the number here to include only higher level headlines in the bookmarks. Set it ''0'' to disable bookmarks all together.
-==== Template ====
-''tpl=<foldername>''\\
-Choose which PDF template (see below) should be used by default. The template can be overridden with the ''tpl'' request variable e.g. add ''&tpl=yourtemplate'' to the export url.
-  * ** Only via configuration manager: **
-==== Output Control ====
-The ''output'' option controls if PDF should be opened within the Browser (when a PDF plugin is installed and the browser is configured correctly) or should always be downloaded.
-==== Caching ====
-By default, generated PDFs are cached. This includes embedded images. This means the ACLs for embedded images will not be rechecked when a user requests a cached PDF. If this is a problem, you should disable caching.
-==== Plugin Styles ====
-The plugin automatically uses ''print.css'' and ''pdf.css'' files of installed 3rd party plugins to style plugin content. Often plugins do not provide such styles or you may actually prefer their screen styles. In that case list the names of these plugins here.
-==== QR code====
-Via a placeholder a QR code can be added in the pdf-templates, which is generated with the size given in the configuration. The plugin uses an online generator. Setting the size to zero will disable this feature.
-==== Show export button ====
-Lets you show or hide the toolbar button in the pagetools.
-==== Plugin Compatibility ====
-To work with other plugins you have to add ''dw2pdf'' to its ''action_plugin_include'' ''supportedModes'' member variable
-  var $supportedModes = array('xhtml', 'metadata','dw2pdf');
-Otherwise you may have problems with caching.
-===== PDF Templates =====
-{{ :plugin:dw2pdf:pdfexport_with_default_tpl.png?direct&200|}}
-PDF Templates define the design of the created PDF files and are a good way to easily customize them to your Corporate Identity. The default PDF template which is shipped with this plugin is shown on the right. It has simple headers, footers and citation box.
-To create a new template, just create a new folder within the plugin's ''lib/plugins/dw2pdf/tpl/'' folder and put your header, footers, cover page, and style definitions in it. See ''lib/plugins/dw2pdf/tpl/default'' for an example. Don't modify the template ''default'', these template can be overwritten on updates, so you will lose your changes.
-In the PDF template you can define the headers, footers, citation box and the styling. => Read more at [[plugin:dw2pdf:pdftemplate]].
-===== For developers =====
-If you're a plugin developer and want to make your syntax plugin compatible with the PDF export, here are a few tips:
-  * provide a useful ''print.css'' and PDF export will probably work out of the box
-  * if you want to use special stylings for PDF export provide a ''pdf.css''
-  * your HTML and CSS should be simple enough to be understood by mpdf (see [[https://mpdf.github.io/|mpdf.github.io documentation]])
-If you want to provide custom HTML for the PDF export you should check if the renderer is a ''renderer_plugin_dw2pdf'' when rendering ''xhtml''.
-<code php>
-function render($mode, $renderer, $data){
-    if($mode == 'xhtml') {
-       if(is_a($renderer,'renderer_plugin_dw2pdf')){
-           // this is the PDF export, render simple HTML here
-       }else{
-           // this is normal XHTML for Browsers, be fancy here
-       }
-       return true;
-    }
-    return false;
-}
-</code>
-By default, ''dw2pdf'' will fetch embedded images via HTTP. If you want to embed local image files without going through HTTP, you can give their location by writing an ''img'' tag using the ''dw2pdf://'' pseudo protocol:
-<code php>
-$R->doc .= '<img src="dw2pdf:///full/path/to/some/image.png">';
-</code>
-Examples: [[plugin:visrep|visrep Plugin]] ([[https://github.com/iongion/dokuwiki-plugin-visrep/blob/master/syntax.php|code]]), [[plugin:mathpublish|mathpublish plugin]]

-===== iPhone/iPad =====
-When using with an iPhone/iPad disable the setting: Seiten mit gzip komprimiert ausliefern
+==== Hyphenation ====
-otherwise this plugin will not generate PDF-Files on iPhone/iPad.
-==== Discussion ====
+With the following setting in ''style.css'' it is possible to enable automatic hyphenation:
-=== Linked Images ===
+<code>
-Is it possible to somehow add a tutorial for how to get external embedded images into the pdf? i'd really appreciate that.
+body {
-=== Date format example ===
+   hyphens: auto;
-An example for the footer HTML placeholder / variable to show just the Year so that you can add a dated copyright notice : ''&copy; Your Company Name @DATE(@DATE@,%Y)@?''
+}
-=== Disable Hyperlinks in export ===
->Is there a way to disable all hyperlinks in the pdf export?  The pdf contains internal wiki links that the client can't access (as the wiki is for internal use only).
-The only way I have found is to modify the file **mpdf.php**:
-<code php lib/plugins/dw2pdf/mpdf/mpdf.php>
-    /**
-     * add this after line 8816
-     */
-                                $annot='';
 </code>
+The hyphenation is of course language dependent. Normally, the wiki login language is used. If the [[translation|translation plugin]] is installed, the language selected here is used for hyphenation when creating the PDF.
+==== Rendering Limitations ====
-=== Styling and sizing the box that appears when hovering over the TOC in the pdf ===
+Because the rendering is done on the server side, plugins that rely on the client side to render might not do so correctly in the generated PDF.  Example: [[plugin:mermaid]]
-I see a huge yellow box with a number in it when hovering over the TOC in the PDF.  I'd like to make it smaller, and less yellow and put some useful information in it or turn it off but I've not found how to do this.
