    Is there any way to automatically paginate wiki pages, like in a word processor, so that
    pdfs generated will be correctly paginated?

    It should paginate automatically but you can specify page breaks with https://doc.tiki.org/PluginPDFPageBreak

    You can set other general PDF options with PluginPDF (nice php8+ error in the doc page there 😉

    Thanks Marc - p.s. we should set up multilike (eg like/love/cry/angry etc) buttons reactions here one day?


    I would say that instead of repairing/maintaining the Multilike feature we can use trackers and list plugins. 😇

    Hi Bernard and Jonny thanks for your advice.
    I can see that those plugins would help with pure text etc and have tried them.
    What about the sizing of pictures etc. With a word processor you can resize on the fly and see instantly whether it fits on the page or not.
    With Tiki I assume that it's trial and error ie producing a pdf and checking what it looks like.
    Otherwise material could be produced locally and uploaded and embedded as a correctly formatted pdf.
    Are there any other options?
    What I am looking to do is to produce an off line version of the site so that it is not lost when I am no longer around to maintain it, or to pay the hosting charges.
    Another option outside of the site is to use HTTrack Web Site Copier but so far I have not been able to get the login and password function to work, so I have to make the whole site available to Anonymous to run this utility.

    Have I missed something? 😊

    Yes, it's trial and error to see if it fits on a page.

    This won't help you for this use case, but FYI we just started working on Tiki Crawl which over time will permit to fetch data and put in Tiki (even when a login to external site is required)

    Some leads:


    Ultimately, I want Tiki to become a Static Site Generator which would address your use case.
