I wrote a small converter for sidux-manual -> pdf
As there is now also an english script section I can post it here, too 
Disclaimer: the script is not perfect, but IMHO usable.
But it might happen that it won't work anymore with future versions of the manual.
to change the Language, you have to edit the line
Code:
LANGSUFFIX="en" # edit to change manual language
(currently line 6)
Requirements:
- htmldoc
- recode(because htmldoc can't handle utf-8 )
- offline-manual
you can install them by
Code:
apt-get update && apt-get install htmldoc recode sidux-manual-common sidux-manual-de
If your language has another character encoding than latin1 you also have to change the line:
Code:
### change following line if you need another encoding than latin-1 ###
for i in manual-output/${LANGSUFFIX}/*.htm; do recode utf8..lat1 $i; done
(currently line 92) and replace "lat1" regarding the syntax of recode
to use the script just make it executable an run it by typing
Code:
./siduxmanual2pdf.sh
greets,
Blue Shadow |

Thanks for this BlueShadow.
Just tried it and it and it works with the current version of the manual. |

hi BlueShadow
eine coole Sache !!! Bitte ruhig eine Sprachabfrage einbauen. Das machts eleganter auch für Nicht-Latainer.  |

Hi mickhs,
glad to hear it is still working after all this months without any change of the script.
Hi RoEn,
danke für die Erinnerung, an eine Sprachabfrage hatte ich jetzt garnicht gedacht (brett vorm Kopf), aber ich wollte das script ohnehin nochmal überarbeiten um es flexibler zu machen, nur irgendwie immer wieder aufgeschoben. Ich denk ich werd mich mal die nächsten Tage nochmal dran machen.
Gruß,
Blue Shadow |

Rather yummy script!
Is there a way to get the codebox overflow showing? |

assuming that the html to pdf thing uses the print CSS, you need to change the code box css to fixed width, no overflow,
That's: instead of: overflow: auto;
you use: overflow: none;
I think, in the print css stylesheet.
If the html to pdf stuff isn't reading the print css, which it should be doing, there's not much you can do except temporarily hack the standard css before making the pdf, then unhack it after.
You can test if the html to pdf is using print by simply making some silly rule in print.css that makes some font really big, and see if it's done. |

Hi,
is it possible to convert the manuals font type to screen suitable/readable font type? It still disturbs me that we use serif fonts, which are not suitable for reading-on-screen. |

hi BlueShadow
irgendwie vermisse ich das Script hier im Thread. Aber da es alle testeten, habe ich wohl nur selbst das Prob. Hilf mir mal auf die Sprünge. |

hi RoEn.
Ich hatte das seinerzeit als Attachement beigefügt, irgendwie scheint es nicht mehr vorhanden zu sein. Möglicherweise bei einem Forensoftware-Update? Oder ist die Speicherzeit der Attachements begrenzt?
Ich muss mal schauen ob ich das Script noch auf meinem Rechner finde, ist ja schon ne Weile her.
Hi @ all,
Strange, added it last year as an attachermente, meanwhile it obviously dissappeared.. |

I Dl' d a copy of the original script, however as BlueShadow said it may not keep, and a quick glance its behind (the script is 12 months behind,, so needs a major update to be of use)
All you need to do is apt-get install sidux-manual to have it locally, however pdf is good as well.
Attached is what I think is BlueShadow original script and refer to BlueShadow's first post for the config info |
