Thread:Thought about automating a pdf collection with the Nav template (3)

The Nav temp looks interesting ...

I had a thought -- it should be possible to develop a hack for the template which will automate setting up a print collection from the pages linked in the Nav template. That would be pretty cool -- a pdf link that will print the whole book from the collection of topics and sections.

The collection feature uses wiki text. See Help:Collections

The trick will be how to manage edits to the structure -- but perhaps we could use a feature where only after the text is completed -- the user adds the instruction to generate the pdf collection. for example {{Template:Navigation|pdf=yes} -- Once the pdf parameter is specified -- the collection is automatically generated.

Cheers
