Help:PDF Book

This page is intended to help with the automated production of PDF Books from the Assist pages.

Creation of the book

• Create a title page, as the Document title plus the word "Title" on the end. The page can be created using the template provided. In addition, the footer must be configured on this page, utilising comments. For example:

{{Doc_Title|System=Calidus ''Vision''|Title=Vision Coding and Release|Reference=236343|Version=1.0|Date=9th May 2011}}
<!-- FOOTER LEFT "236343" -->
<!-- FOOTER CENTER "Commercial In Confidence" -->
<!-- FOOTER RIGHT "$PAGE of $PAGES" -->

• Add this and all pages to be printed as part of the PDF book to a category of the same name, for example:

[[Category:Vision Coding and Release Doc|000]]

Note that the Category Sort value should be set to 000 for the title page. All other articles included in the document should have a sort value assigned to them to indicate the position in the document.

• If required, create an appendix page. This Template can be used as an example. This page should be named as the document title plus the word "Appendix" on the end. Note that the Category Sort should be set to 999.
• Create the Category page as in the following example:

=Vision Coding and Release=
This category encompasses pages that collate technical information of how the system is built and installed.
