[chef] Re: Chef wiki in non-PDF form?

[Edward Morbius < >]

A very, very strong second on this.  I'm reading on an Android phone,
where PDFs are worse than useless, and ePubs are awesome (plug for the
Moon+Reader, free).

There's a third-party, non-free plugin for Atlassian to render output
to ePub.  Alternatively, if there were a way to start with a
single-page HTML view, *and* strip much of the cruft (sidebars, etc.)
that accompany the wiki, this might also work.

My own sense is that ePub (or something very much like it) should
supplant PDF as the online documentation standard.

It even has wins over HTML, in that software manages ePub books well,
and tends to conform to end-user preferences for styling rather than
the author's.  It's a format that's designed for reading and
readability, not a hybrid information / application platform, as HTML
is rapidly becoming.
