     26There are several '''dependencies''':
    3127
    32 First, install the plugin as usual. There are several '''dependencies''':
    33 
    34  * [http://www.xhtml2pdf.com/ xhtml2pdf] and PISA: The python library used to convert HTML to PDF. You can install it with ''easy_install pisa''. The version supported by this plugin is 3.0.32. Others might work (3.0.29 is known to have a bug in TOC creation).
     28 * [http://www.xhtml2pdf.com/ xhtml2pdf] and [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pisa PISA]: The python library used to convert HTML to PDF. You can install it with ''easy_install pisa''. The version supported by this plugin is 3.0.32. Others might work (3.0.29 is known to have a bug in TOC creation).
    3529 * [http://www.reportlab.org/ ReportLab version 2.2]: This is a dependency of xhtml2pdf. If using easy_install, it should be automatically installed.
    3630 * [http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/ HTML5lib]: Same as previous.
    … …  
    3933 * [http://pygments.org/ Pygments]: Python syntax highlighter. You need this for syntax highlighting in Trac, too.
    4034
    41 For Debian/Fedora based systems, dependencies can be installed with:
     35To install dependencies (PIL/!!ReportLab/HTML5Lib/Pygments/pyPDF):
    4236
    43  * For PIL: aptitude/yum install python-imaging
    44  * For ReportLab: aptitude/yum install python-reportlab

     44 * `easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/tracwikiprintplugin/0.11`
    4745
    4846Enable the plugin by adding '''wikiprint.* = enabled''' in the ''components'' section of the ''trac.ini'' file:
    … …  
    5351wikiprint.* = enabled
    5452}}}
    55 
    5653When enabled, two new administrative panels will be available under the '''Wikiprint''' section, and 3 new formats will be available in the ''Download in other formats'' section at the end of the wiki page:
    5754
    … …  
    6057 * Printable HTML
    6158
     59If you're behind a proxy, add something like this to your .wsgi file so resources can be downloaded when creating pdfs:
     60
     61{{{
     62import os
     63os.environ['http_proxy'] = 'http://myproxy.company.com:8080'
     64os.environ['no_proxy'] = '.company.com'
     65}}}
    6266Additional options can be set by creating a ''wikiprint'' section in ''trac.ini'':
    6367
    … …  
    7781httpauth_password = *password*
    7882}}}
    79 
    8083Most of these options can be also set from the web administrative interface:

    9093=== Some notes ===
    91 
    9294==== xhtml2pdf special tags and styles ====
    93 
    9495!WikiPrint works by converting one or some Wiki pages to HTML, adding some CSS styles and replacing special tags, and then passing the output to the xhtml2pdf library, so in order to understand how to customize the output using CSS, and to use some special html tags used by xhtml2pdf, you'll have to check the [attachment:"pisa-en.pdf" xhtml2pdf manual].
    9596
    … …  
    9798
    9899==== Images and links ====
    99 
    100100!WikiPrint exports the wiki format to HTML first, then converts the HTML to PDF using xhtml2pdf library. Links and image references in the wiki to html conversion are made as absolute URLS.
    101101
    102 In order to generate the PDF, ''xhtml2pdf'' library will try to download the images from their absolute URL (exactly as your web browser would do). 
     102In order to generate the PDF, ''xhtml2pdf'' library will try to download the images from their absolute URL (exactly as your web browser would do).
    103103
    104104For example, if you access the trac project from your browser using the URL http://myserver/trac/myproject, but address of ''myserver'' is locally resolved at your workstation (via /etc/hosts or similar), and not globally known, then ''xhtml2pdf'' will fail to resolve ''myserver'' and won't be able to download the images from http://myserver/trac/myproject/. In that case, use the server IP instead.
    … …  
    106106'''Authentication and permissions'''
    107107
    108 When using cookie based authentication (like AccountManager), the ''xhtml2pdf'' library is given a temporary cookie to authenticate in behave of the user, so the conversion process will have the same permissions as the user downloading the .pdf, but '''you must make sure that the project URL is accessible locally from the trac server itself'''.

    109109
    110110Optionally, is HTTP Basic or Digest authentication is used, wikiprint can be configured to log in using '''httpauth_user''' and '''httpauth_password''' options.
    111111
    112112=== Security Concerns ===
    113 
    114113Wikiprint defines three new permissions:
    115114
    … …  
    119118
    120119=== Export formats ===
    121 
    122120!WikiPrint adds several download formats to the bottom of the wiki page. Following is the description of the available formats.
    123121
    124122==== PDF Article ====
    125 
    126123PDF article creates a PDF file out of the wiki page, with no ''front page''. Additional styles will be used from the CSS file defined in ''article_css'' option.
    127124
    128 If the page uses the ![[PageOutline]] macro, it will be replaced by a Table of Contents. 
     125If the page uses the ![[PageOutline]] macro, it will be replaced by a Table of Contents.
    129126
    130127PDF article can be used to combine several wiki pages too, from the administrative interface.
    131128
    132129==== PDF Book ====
    133 
    134130This format will create a book-like PDF document. A front page that can show  title, subject, date and version is inserted at the beginning of the document. A 'Table of Contents' is also inserted after the front page. Any further ocurrences of ![[PageOutline]] will be removed. Different wiki pages will be separated by a page break.
    135131
    … …  
    139135
    140136==== Printable HTML ====
    141 
    142137This option will just convert to wiki text to HTML, and display it in the browser with some styles, so it can be printed directly from the browser.
    143138
    144139=== Combining pages ===
    145 
    146140When enabling the plugin, a new !WikiPrint panel will be available in administration. From this panel, you can select a set of pages, and export them to any of the supported formats.
    147141
    … …  
    149143
    150144=== Tag replacement ===
    151 
    152 When defining the contents of the ''front page'' file (using HTML), or the ''extra contents'' file (HTML for header, footer or other frames), some special tags can be used, and they will be replaced before exporting the document.

    154147The following tags are supported:

    160153
    161154=== Customizing styles ===
    162 
    163155!WikiPrint allows customization of documents by three different options:
    164156
    165157 * '''css_url''': A path or URL to a file with CSS styles that will be applied to the exported output. If left blank, a default CSS is used. If you are creating a custom CSS, use the default CSS as start, and change as needed. Some tweaking is needed in order to make xhtml2pdf/PISA library generate PDF correctly.
    166  * '''article_css_url''': A path or URL to a file with CSS styles that will be used only when exporting to '''PDF Article''' format. The default one defines the page margins, and creates ''header'' and ''footer'' frames, which contents will be defined in the ''extracontent_url'' file. 
     158 * '''article_css_url''': A path or URL to a file with CSS styles that will be used only when exporting to '''PDF Article''' format. The default one defines the page margins, and creates ''header'' and ''footer'' frames, which contents will be defined in the ''extracontent_url'' file.
    167159 * '''book_css_url''': A path or URL to a file with CSS styles that will be used only when exporting to '''PDF Book''' format. The default one defines the default page with no header or footer, which will be used for the front page, and a ''standard'' templage page, which will be used for successive pages, with header and footer.
    168160
    … …  
    170162
    171163=== Customizing front page, header, footer, contents ===
    172 
    173164 * '''frontpage_url''':  A path or URL to a file with HTML ('''It doesn't have to be a well formed xhtml document, so don't include begin/end tags, body, etc., see the default one'''), that will be used as the front page when exporting to ''PDF Book''. Some special tags can be used to insert the title, version, date, etc. See ''Tag Replacement''
    174165 * '''extracontent_url''': A path or URL to a file with HTML that will be inserted at the beginning of the document before passing it to to ''xhtml2pdf''. This should be used to define the contents of the '''header''' and '''footer'''. See xhtml2html documentation, and the default article CSS contents and default extra contents for an example.
