The code of the wiki-to-print instance that is running on the ''creative crowd'' server is published at [https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/wiki-to-print Varia's Gitea] under the [https://constantvzw.org/wefts/cc4r.en.html CC4r] license.

This project is inspired by and builds upon several previous iterations of and experiments with mediawiki-to-pdf workflows:

==How does it work?==

When you create a page in the <code>Pdf</code> namespace, it will load the wiki2print buttons in the navigation bar: 

* <code>CSS!</code>
* <code>View HTML</code>
* <code>View PDF</code>
* <code>Update text</code>
* <code>Update Media</code>

==On the server==

===To run wiki-to-print in the background===

 $ sudo service wiki2print status

 $ sudo service wiki2print start
 $ sudo service wiki2print stop
 $ sudo service wiki2print restart

===For debugging===

You can find the files of wiki-to-print here:

 $ cd /var/www/wiki2print/web-interface/

 $ ls

 ├── Makefile
 ├── __pycache__
 ├── api.py
 ├── plugins
 ├── readme.md
 ├── requirements.txt
 ├── static
 ├── templates
 ├── update.py
 ├── venv
 └── web-interface.py

* <code>web-interface.py</code>: the flask application
* <code>api.py</code>: script with all the functions that are used by the flask application

You can run the flask application directly (instead of running it as a systemd service):

 $ make server

If you add prints statements in the python files you can see the result in the terminal.
