ah, they probably just changed the name. check the cmdline args then.

I've built htmldoc on windows and on linux and I'm using it for my win2k 
test server and also on phpwiki.sf.net/demo/ (as you might see).
but you need latest CVS of phpwiki. (and not the nightly snapshot 
because this doesn't work anymore)

yes, htmldump is our best testcase which produces the most errors, 
because it tries to transform and render every simgle page. on any error 
it fatals.
and it easily runs out of memory. (needs ~30MB currently)

there doesn't seem to be any cmdline args for ghtmldoc.
--help, -h, /?, /help, -? doesn't give any output.
the included doc doesn't mention anything about cmdline...

hmmm... i'm unable to get any working pdf out of the ?action=3Dpdf =
"url".
is that suppose to work ?

i cannot really risk going to CVS version. i have to be 100% sure there
won't be any content lost in the manipulation.

i don't understand why it makes an error... i don't see any relevant =
message in the error message :(
how can it fail to assert ?! when an empty string is given ?

i've added that to my config/config.ini file after renaming htmldoc to
ghtmldoc and making sure that ghtmldoc is in my PATH. note that i may =
be
assuming too much, ghtmldoc might !=3D htmldoc.

anyway, the ?action=3Dpdf gives the same result: pdf document with over
200 pages 90% blank containing the phpwiki logo in the upper right
corner.

hmmm, unfortunatly, i'm stuck with a MS Win2k as a webserver... that =
has
some consequences [besides that i really don't like non-free software
and that it's unable to run "heavy" tasks at the same time]:
 - I can't find htmldoc for Win32, i only got ghtmldoc from
ftp://easysw.com/pub/htmldoc/ .
 - I'm not sure how to proceed in order to install the required =
packages
mentionned in http://phpwiki.sf.net/phpwiki/PhpWikiToDocBookAndPDF .

Before trying to make the pdf export work, i noticed that xhtml dumping
didn't work as i expected.

It only dumps some pages, namely anything but the pages i've created.
When using the xhtml dump button in PhpWikiAdministration, you can see
in the bottom of the page that i get an error.

For some reason, the xhtml dumping result page shows that the "last"
page that is dumped is HowToUseWiki, then i get a Recent Changes =
section
[huh?!] that shows assertion failed at line 178 of lib/WikiDB.php .
Below, the very same block is repeated but under the title "Fatal
PhpWiki Error".
