We currently generate our own multi-chapter pdf (using a set of scripts). The Pediapress PDF generation suitable (book extension) was unable to support our formatting, such as educator notes: | |||
{{ednote|text=This is an educator note.}} | |||
We were unable to find alternative ways of formatting text in a similar way, that would be compatible with the book extension. | |||
The more general Offline Content Generation toolchain should offer better solutions for this. There are two toolchains that could be promising: | |||
* The OCG/Latex toolchain also doesn't take css into account, but appears to be aimed at very high quality print output from wikipedia articles. | |||
* An OCG toolchain with Phantom-js-2 is planned, that would work from the html (including css), and could be a good option. Work on this will start when Phantom-js-2 is released. | |||
For now, we thus stick with our own way of creating PDF, which have documented here [[OER:Documentation/PDF with wkhtmltopdf]]. | |||

Apart from PDF, we considered generation of ZIM with the Kiwix browser. This was fairly successful, see http://oer.educ.cam.ac.uk/download/. A few issues remain, see [[OER:TODO]] and outstanding issues below. | |||
