Offer PDF export of original pagination of entire books
Français: Pouvoir exporter en pdf en respectant la pagination de l'édition source.
Problem: Presently PDF conversion of proofread wikisource books doesn't mirrors original pagination and page design of original edition, since it comes from ns0 transclusion.
Français: La conversion en PDF des livres Wikisource ne reflète pas la pagination et le design original des pages de l’édition originale, car la conversion provient de la transclusion et non des pages.
Who would benefit: Offline readers.
Français: Lecteurs hors ligne.
Proposed solution: To build an alternative PDF coming from conversion, page for page, of nsPage namespace.
Français: Élaborer un outil pour générer un PDF alternatif provenant d’une conversion page par page.
More comments: Some wikisource contributors think that nsIndex and nsPage are simply "transcription tools"; I think that they are much more - they are the true digitalization of a edition, while ns0 transclusioni is something like a new edition.
Français: Certains contributeurs de wikisource pense que nsIndex et nsPage sont simplement des « outils de transcription » ; je pense qu’ils sont beaucoup plus que cela – ce sont la vraie numérisation d’une édition, tandis que la transclusion ns0 constitue une nouvelle édition.
With the ws-export tool getting error messages many a times it is better to have this functionality in to the default pdf download of the mediawiki. So it would be easy to download the book and associated subpages with it in the correct order. -- Balajijagadesh (talk) 06:48, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support more generally PDF export should be totally re-done on Wikisource if we really want to achieve "Knowledge as a service" and "Knowledge equity" for our readers. VIGNERON * discut.12:32, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support As wikipedia content is consulted offline, on SIRI, in the Knowledge graph of Google ; Wikisource content should be easy to export. Isn't it perfectly in line wit the Strategic Direction of Wikimedia Movement? :) Pyb (talk) 10:39, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
