  • how I can use cp1251 in it?

    Non-Western language support as well as the <more>-Function will be included in the next public release. However I don’t know yet when it will be finished. The new semester has started and I don’t have much time for WP2PDF at the moment.
    It could propably take a couple of weeks until its finished.

    for anyone that cares I added 6 x 9 as a size option. I could provide the updated pages for anyone that would like to have this form factor. (That is basic hard back novel size. I found it looks really good in those dimensions.)

    About the more-tag:
    If anyone who is using that tag could send me a copy of his/hers index.php? That would be nice, because I would save me some time. I’ll probably release an update of the PR2 with this function added on sunday. Thanks!

    Hey all, I wanted to chime in with two feature requests, when you get the time of course!
    My first and biggest deals with tags. When I write a blog post I input all the tags, I don’t like letting the software do it for me. I also write my code the correct way, meaning as follows:

    Some text

    While that is all fine and dandy in the browser, it looks as though the pdf conversion process is adding extra line breaks for the tags, so I am getting really wide spaced paragraphs. So changing the conversion to account for this would be great.
    Secondly, I would really love to be able to change the order of the posts to ASC since I would like to use this to create a hard copy of my “journal”; which would be much better in that format.
    That is it for now.

    I just send my index page to your mail. Saludos!

    For anyone interested I have released a plugin for 1.2+ that gives your users easy access to some of the cooler features of this hack/plugin.
    Currently WP2PDF interface gives your users the ability to choose a year, or month to convert to PDF. In the next version I hope to have by author going as well.
    You can find the plugin here: https://chrisjdavis.org/hacks/wp-pdf-interface.phps
    And you can find info on setting up the hack as always, over here: https://chrisjdavis.org/index/category/wp-hacks/
    Let me know if you have any questions or comments.
