As in title. Inspired by this feature in Wikipedia.

mpdf could be considered:

arvindpdmn commented 4 months ago

TOC should become bookmarks
Hide menus
Links in text should appear with URL hidden
Remove abbreviations tooltips (can we have tooltip instead?)
Citation should link to correct reference item (can we have tooltip as well?)
Include images without border
Export in default theme
Show licensing logo at the end
Show See Also before Cite As

Limitations:

Animated GIF, embedded audio/video can't be exported
Do users really want to export one article? Maybe they want to export multiple articles after filtered by tag? What's the compute load on the server?

Some trial code:

    $text = $content->getBody();
    $text = str_replace("/images/", "images/", $text);
    $text = preg_replace('/src="(.*?)" data-fullsrc="(.*?)"/', 'src="\2" data-fullsrc="\2"', $text);
    $text = preg_replace('/<body class=/', '<body style="margin-left:80px" class=', $text);
    $text = preg_replace('/<div class="article-middle/', '<div style="margin-left:80px" class="article-middle', $text);
    $text = preg_replace('/<figure class=/', '<figure style="border:0px" class=', $text);
    $mpdf = new Mpdf([
        'mode' => 'utf-8',
        'format' => 'A4-P',
        'orientation' => 'P'
    ]);
    //$mpdf->showImageErrors = true;
    $mpdf->WriteHTML($text);
    $mpdf->Output('download.pdf', 'F');

Tried dompdf package but mpdf seems to be better:

    $dompdf = new Dompdf();
    $dompdf->loadHtml($text);
    $dompdf->setPaper('A4', 'portrait');
    $dompdf->render();
    file_put_contents("download.pdf", $dompdf->output());
