From time to time, we need to make a printout of the whole Grid Made Easy
book; this page explains how the entire Wiki, or part of it, can
be printed.
More in general, techniques are collected here, which enable one to dump a snapshot of the Wiki contents, to process it in any way.
The technical reference source for all this is http://zwiki.org/ZwikiPrinting
Dump of a page source
You can dump the source code of any page of this Wiki by appending /source to the page URL. For example:
http://euindia.ictp.it/gme/Authoring/source
You can dump the source code of any page and all of its subtopics by appending /source?with_children=yes to the page URL. For example:
http://euindia.ictp.it/gme/Authoring/source?with_children=yes
The following table recaps source dump options.
| Append this to page URL | Effect |
|---|---|
| /source | Dump source of current page only |
| /source?with_children=1 | Dump source of current page plus all its children. |
So, to get a full dump of the wiki contents, visit this link:
http://euindia.ictp.it/gme/FrontPage/source?with_children=yes
The Wiki contents may then be processed with rst2html or rst2latex to produce output suitable for book printing.
HTML dump of a page contents
You can dump any page of this Wiki in HTML format by appending /html to the page URL. For example:
http://euindia.ictp.it/gme/Authoring/html
You can dump any page and all of its subtopics all in one HTML page by appending /html?with_children=yes to the page URL. For example:
http://euindia.ictp.it/gme/Authoring/html?with_children=yes
Appending /html?with_page_titles=yes to the URL will prepend the ZWiki? page title (at H1 level) to each page contents.
The following table recaps HTML dump options.
| Append this to page URL | Effect |
|---|---|
| /html | HTML dump of current page only. |
| /html?with_children=1 | HTML dump of current page plus all its children. |
| /html?with_children=1&with_page_titles=1 | HTML dump of current page plus all its children, prepend page title to page contents. |
So, to get a full HTML dump of the Wiki contents, visit this link:
http://euindia.ictp.it/gme/FrontPage/html?with_children=yes
Excluding some pages from the dump
Both form of dumps will exclude pages that have a property not_for_printing set to True (that is, the corresponding checkbox is checked in the ZMI Properties display).
Once you set a the not_for_printing property to True for a page, its value is inherited by all of its subtopics; to enable the dump again for a subtopic, you should set its not_for_printing property to False (that is, uncheck the box) in the ZMI.
