Dear all,

I'm a happy XWiki user since 2013, deployed as internal wiki for a tech team. Now I'm evaluating the usage of XWiki as CMS for writing product documentation. In the past I used Alfresco but I think the XWiki approach is more flexibile and easy for non-technical guys. The latest version I tried was the 6.4 which it works pretty well for all the use cases I'd like to fit, except for this need: I'd like to write a set of pages, and then arrange them in a structured manual with a table of Content, i.e. using a tree view and moving pages from a section to another, and then export them as PDF.

For example, I'd like to write 4 wiki pages, and then I'd like to create a PDF picking up three of them defining a table of contents such as

* page1

o page4

o page2

* page3

I saw this feature as plugin for Confluence: is this available in XWiki or scheduled for one of the next releases?

There is Multipage PDF Export Application [1] but it uses the parent-child relationship that has been (kind of) deprecated starting with XWiki 7.2. It should still work though. The new way to organize wiki pages in a tree hierarchy is using Nested Pages, but it doesn't support the notion of child ordering, i.e. you cannot specify that page4 is before page2 (in your example). The old parent-child relationship doesn't support it either but the Hierarchy Macro extension (used by the Multipage PDF Export Application I linked) has implemented it. I'm not aware of any equivalent extension for Nested Pages. Hope this helps, Marius [1] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/MultipagePdfExport+Appl...

Best Regards

Andrea
