Printing the Documentation

Option 1 (the quickest and easiest, when it succeeds)

1. under the tiki print feature, print the whole documentation structure
2. copy all html printed structure from your browser to your OpenOffice document
3. Break all image links (through option under "Edit > links > break all links") so that images reside inside your document and not as external referenced images (at this step your document will increase a lot in size).
4. You can now insert a header (put the doc logo there) and insert a footer with page numbers
5. You can now insert a table of content
6. You may wish to re-set heading levels 1 to 4, at least, and automatic numbering to them, to follow the same tree as in the Documentation structure. This can take a long while.
7. when you are happy with the result, export to PDF? within OpenOffice

Option 2 (the intermediate solution, safer)

1. under the tiki print feature, print the whole documentation structure
2. using Firefox browser, save the page and its contents (make sure first that your browser has downloaded all included images)
3. open this locally saved copy of the documentation with Firefox again, and copy & paste all the content from that page to your OpenOffice document
4. Break all image links (through option under "Edit > links > break all links") so that images reside inside your document and not as external referenced images (at this step your document will increase a lot in size).
5. You can now insert a header (put the doc logo there) and insert a footer with page numbers
6. You can now insert a table of content
7. You may wish to re-set heading levels 1 to 4, at least, and automatic numbering to them, to follow the same tree as in the Documentation structure. This can take a long while.

Option 3 (a bit longer, preferred by some people)

1. under the tiki print feature, print the whole documentation structure
2. using Firefox browser, save the page and its contents (make sure first that your browser has downloaded all included images)
3. open the html file with OpenOffice Writer
4. under the file menu, export it as an OpenOffice document
5. close and open this new OpenOffice document
6. Your document content might be inside an annoying table which prevent from showing the full length of your document. You might avoid this issue through copy the content of that table from that document and paste it to a new document.
7. Break all image links (through option under "Edit > links > break all links") so that images reside inside your document and not as external referenced images (at this step your document will increase a lot in size).
8. You can now insert a header (put the doc logo there) and insert a footer with page numbers
9. You can now insert a table of content
10. You may wish to re-set heading levels 1 to 4, at least, and automatic numbering to them, to follow the same tree as in the Documentation structure. This can take a long while.
