Question

I'm using the "view.pdf.tmpl" for generating PDF files of my twiki web and it works fine. But I have one problem; I have a web called PBN, in that I have a topic called HTG. The HTG topic contains several other topics. I would like to generate PDF for HTG and all topics under it. Is that possible?

The % TEXT % variable only returns the text of the current topic, I want it to return the current topic and all topics under it.

Answer

I'm not quite sure what you want here, but BookView may help.

In case you want to show all direct children (but not grand children) you can do a FormattedSearch by looking for the topic parent meta data. Search string example:

"META.TOPICPARENT.name=\"HTG\"

regex needs to be enabled, see TWikiVariables for details.

Specify $text in the formatted search to get the text of the children expanded.
