Wikipedia with 2.12?

[Gogolo]

Why sould the python mini server from buildWikipediaOffline.html not do the job very well?

Would be cool if someone could take a look at this. I dont know what other users are thinking, but for me Wikipedia would be the killer feature...

It then either creates a custom web page with the list of matches and fires up minimo for the user to select the result, or creates a contentlister entry for each result.

That doesn't sound very complicated - we write our entire website in Perl, handling hundreds of Gb of data and millions of hits a week

Mind you, I just hosed my iLiad trying to get the developer package installed, so it'll be a while before I can test Perl scripts on there! If it's a case of taking input and creating simple text-based files from the search results, that's the easy-peasy bit - but how is the search part supposed to work? Grepping the wikipedia file(s), or something more complicated?

In another thread axel77 pointed to this page: http://users.softlab.ece.ntua.gr/~tt...iaOffline.html
that gets tantalizingly close. It ends up with a perl script that does the searching, so it should only be a matter of taking input and massaging the output for the iliad---at least I think that's all that is needed, I read it rather quickly. Of course we'd need perl running on the iliad, but I thought I saw that someone had done that somewhere a while back.

While I wait for you gurus to figure it out, is there a way to print a pdf with only this page to read on the iLiad? I tried to play with Firefox and Openoffice, but those pesky tables are too big.

[thetechnobear]

not quite sure what the problem was producing the pdf, so not sure if the attached is what you were after ?!

Pretty good, thanks! My mistake was trying to change the paper size in Firefox or in Openoffice. It's better to enlarge what you produced.
