Extension:ElectronPdfService/de

Die ElectronPdfService Erweiterung erlaubt es Artikel mittels des Electron Service als PDF anzuzeigen.

Beschreibung
The extension provides a handy way to access the Electron Service via a RESTBase API endpoint. The Electron Service provides a new rendering method for Wiki-pages as alternative to the existing OCG/LaTeX rendering. The huge advantage of using the Electron Service is, that the generated PDF will contain all tables as well as rendered infoboxes and other templates which was not possible with the old method. Some more background about the motivation that led to the implementation of the extension and the service can be found here.

And here's an example: PDF for the article about Berlin.

Usage

 * Once the extension is installed, the "Download as PDF" link in the MediaWiki sidebar will lead you to a new selection screen.
 * On the selection screen you can then choose whether you want to render your PDF using Electron or using the old OCG/LaTeX renderer.
 * After you've chosen the desired rendering method, click the "Download" button to get the PDF.
 * Note: if there is no alternative rendering method available on the Wiki, "Download as PDF" will immediately serve you the Electron rendered PDF without showing a selection screen.
