Printing out Wiki pages in lieu of an Official Logos 4 Manual

Is it possible to easily print out most of the Wiki sections (not page by page-that, I can already do) so that you can have a print "manual" of Logos 4?

I realize that the Wiki is an organic document with things being added often. Still, it would be easier to read a print out than sitting and reading it online other than an occasional reference to one section as a "how-to-do this right now" function.

If this has been discussed, please just point me in that direction. I did a search for something like this and didn't find anything.

I don't think there's an easy way to do this. I suppose it would be theoretically possible to write a script that would pull wiki pages and print them. However, there's a lot on the wiki you wouldn't want to print out (i.e. the bug reports).

One might want to copy and Paste into Word to make a single document that could be printed out... but that's not easy either.

The way I usually do it is using a PDF packager. You give it the site-parent and then it automatically pulls everything below. The only downside is for some, you have to re-sort the pages, since it follows the various rabbit-trails. The better solution would be to package a PDF maybe once a quarter or so.

Joan,

i found this site on the web (FireShot). It is a browser add-on which will work for many browsers. It can save a webpage in one large screen capture image. i tried it on the Prioritize wiki page (which is a large page with a lot of graphics) and saved it here in this image file 0636.Prioritizing' - wiki_logos_com_Prioritizing.zip. (saved only about 1/3 of the file, could not upload full file to forum).

Since it just a image (picture) you could view it with a graphic editor (e.g. Paint.net). Or you could copy section by section and send it to your printer (this might be tedious but not near as much as copying a webpage to your word processor).

i have not fully examined the tool to see if it has a printing feature which might break the image down into individual printed pages.

be aware that this is a demo and i have not purchased it, but running it from the demo mode.

EDIT: i have only briefly skimmed this add-on tool. So use at your own risk!
