13
Silvia Macovei 11.3 14 To export a page as PDF use the action menu as explained above, or use the following type of URL:

17 {code}

19 In addition the following URL parameters can be added to refine what should be exported:
20 * <tt>pages</tt>: There can be several such parameters, each representing a page to export. For example: <tt>&pages=Main.WebHome&pages=Blog.WebHome</tt>.
21 * <tt>includechilds</tt>: the value is a number specifying the depth of children pages to include in the PDF export. For example <tt>&includechilds=2</tt> will include all children pages of the page to export, all its children (i.e. pages which have the page as its parent) and all the children's children.
Silvia Macovei 11.3 22 * <tt>includelinks</tt>: the value is a number specifying the depth of linked pages to include in the PDF export. For example <tt>&includelinks=2</tt> will include all pages linked from the page to export and the links in the linked pages.
Vincent Massol 3.1 23 * <tt>pagebreaks</tt>: if the value is set to <tt>1</tt> then a page break is inserted between each page exported.
24 * <tt>comments</tt>: if set to <tt>1</tt> then also export the comments.
25 * <tt>attachments</tt>: if set to <tt>1</tt> then also export the attachments (only if they are images).

Vincent Massol 1.1 51 1.1 HTML Export
52
Vincent Massol 10.2 53 The HTML export allows exporting wiki pages as static HTML pages independent from the XWiki engine. All pages are exported in view mode. That way you can export a whole space containing documentation and access it on your computer without any web server. The export is done with the current skin.
