As mentioned before, yes there are ways to accomplish that. But as |
| 15 |
mentioned, these extensions can't just be enabled and hoping for the best. |
| 16 |
They'll need to be maintained, the resources on the server(s) need to be |
| 17 |
available for the dynamic generation of books and perhaps some other things |
| 18 |
that I am missing (I haven't managed a mediawiki server yet so I can't speak |
| 19 |
from much experience). |

However, I do capture the need for an "all-on-one-page" and will look into |
| 22 |
that first. It will not have working links for in-book navigation though but |
| 23 |
it might already be enough for users who want everything on one page (esp. |
| 24 |
those who want to print them out). |

Thanks for the feedback! |
