mwlib.rl - reportlab pdf writer 
======================================================================


Overview
======================================================================
mwlib.rl provides a library for writing pdf documents from mediawiki_ 
articles which were parsed by the mwlib library. 


Installation
======================================================================
Please read http://mwlib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html
for installation instructions.

PDF Customization
======================================================================

Customizing the resulting PDFs is possible by adding a custom configuration file. 
The file needs to be named customconfig.py and should be located in your PYTHONPATH.
Basically you can override anything in the pdfstyles.py file with your custom configuration. 
Any changes need to be done with care in order not to break things!
Check the pdfstyles.py file for more information.

Also check the customnodetransformer.py file for more options for customization.

Font configuration:
-------------------

The font configuration can be changed in fontconfig.py. For the default configuration to 
work properly it is necessary to install a couple of fonts. If these fonts are not installed 
built-in Adobe fonts are used where necessary.

The following fonts need to be installed:
AR PL UMing HK, Ezra SIL, Nazli, UnBatang, Arundina Serif, Lohit Telugu, Sarai, Lohit Punjabi, 
Lohit Oriya, AnjaliOldLipi, Kedage, LikhanNormal, Lohit Tamil, Linux Libertine

These fonts are contained in the following debian (meta-)packages:
ttf-indic-fonts, ttf-unfonts, ttf-farsiweb, ttf-arphic-uming, ttf-sil-ezra, ttf-thai-arundina, 
linux-libertine

After the font installation a directory "mwlibfonts" needs to be created in the home directory.
All fonts need to be symlinked to the appropriate directories (see fontconfig.py).
