Good morning everyone.

Regarding your request, what about the ODF plugin ?

I am not a specialist but you can add your own XSL engine in order to transform the wiki page.

I've used the odt and include plugins to produce what will hopefully be print-ready pdfs for books of about 250 to 300 pages.

I've written my own plugins to do things like format tables, format body text (left/right align, etc.), define numbered items (outside of the heading numbers), automatically produce content, etc.

I use the odt plugin (and a template) to export as OpenOffice as that has a good pdf export facility, TOC is automatically generated, as are various cross-referenced appendices which are created by my plugins (including a list of references).

So yes, it can be used. Easily if the existing plugins do what you need, with some effort otherwise :-)

I'm planning to make some of this as generic as possible and provide it as a plugin in it's own right. However, I've no idea how long this is going to take as 'real work' (TM) gets in the way!
