titipi wiki-to-pdf manual

To initiate a new publication, create a page in this wiki in the unfolding namespace:

On this page, add content or transclude pages that are published elsewhere on the wiki.

{{TT|Peripheral politics}}
{{TT|The politics of listening}}
{{TT|word2complex}}

CSS can be added in the tab 'Print CSS'

Go to 'open in wiki to pdf' to view the resulting html page and access the PDF.

All current wiki-to-pdf publications are listed here: http://titipi.org/wiki-to-pdf

All publicly shareable publications are listed here: http://titipi.org/pub/

Publication URLs are constructed as follows: http://titipi.org/pub/NAMEOFPUBLICATION

Editing wiki-to-pdf

When the automated pageheader overflows, you can add the preferred shorter title to the wiki page:

<h2 class="runningtitle">When governments move fast and break things</h2>

This would replace the longer title, "EU Digital COVID Certificates: When governments move fast and break things"
