Hi Mylyn-world --
First of all, thank you HUGELY for WikiText. I've used it to create documentation to go along with the software I'm sending to the ISS for astronauts to use. Very cool.
Unfortunately they may prefer to read their documentation in a pdf format, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to generate a table of contents from WikiText to be included in the pdf help.
Here are my ant tasks for the pdf, pretty standard:
<target name="generate-xslfo" description="Generate xslfo from wikitext source">
<wikitext-to-xslfo markupLanguage="TracWiki"
targetdir="../${help_path}"
title="${title}"
version="${help_version}"
author="${author}">
<fileset dir="${basedir}/..">
<include name="${help_path}/*.tracwiki"/>
</fileset>
</wikitext-to-xslfo>
</target>
<target name="generate-pdf" depends="generate-xslfo" description="Generate pdf from wikitext source">
<exec executable="${fop.home}/fop">
<arg value="${basedir}/../${help_path}/${documentation_filename}.fo"/>
<arg value="${basedir}/../${help_path}/${title}.pdf"/>
</exec>
</target>
Is this supported? Any suggestions? I've found some suggestions here that indicate going through docbook as an intermediate format but I would like to avoid that ... http://www.peterfriese.de/advanced-wikitext/#high_2
thanks
Tamar

Tamar,
I'm glad that you're enjoying WikiText, and it's very exciting to hear
that it will help astronauts get into space!
Generation of PDF should create the normal PDF structure bookmarks[1].
This will enable PDF viewers to display a table of contents. If you
want a table of contents in the document content itself, then you should
take a look at the Textile language which has a markup extension[2]
{toc} for generating a table of contents in the document. If you're
happy with TracWiki, it's possible to extend the trac wiki format to add
support for generating a table of contents[3].
Regards,
David
