What you eat handled by a Wiki! Cool :)

Yeah, it wasn't too tricky... I created a collation pages plugin for my
wiki engine that takes an index page of links to other pages and
concatenates and dislpays all the pages into one large meta-page. I then
just save as HTML and open in OpenOffice. It is then just a matter of doing
a bit of tidying up and exporting to PDF to create a final version. It
still has a few teething problems but it works.

Sorry, I don't know. I have to admit, I'm not entirely certain what WebDAV
is? Could you explain?

Cool, didn't realise anyone was using the FRINGE Wiki RSS feed for
anything. Spidering the content and then displaying updates to an RSS feed
would be pretty cool: it would be a Free RPG RSS update feed like they have
for blogs. Brilliant.
