Description-en: Loads pages from MediaWiki and converts to LaTeX and PDF
This project provides a simple way of turning a HTML page hosted on a
server into a high quality PDF version as well an its LaTeX source
file respectively.
.
Particular care has been to generate esthetically pleasing results
for pages hosted on servers running MediaWiki.
.
This project provides a simple default mode which just requires the
URL to the page and creates a PDF file, by processing the HTML
generated by the (MediaWiki-) server. It also provides extended
possibilities giving a fine grained control over the conversion
process to users familiar with LaTeX and MediaWiki.
.
Much effort was put into providing reasonable defaults for this way
of processing for the needs of the English and German Wikibooks
projects. Images are also downloaded, and if necessary modified for
use in a LaTeX document. The latest test run on more than 2000
featured articles on the English Wikipedia completed without
failures.
