JBoss Wiki2Docbook

This is a simple program that allows you to poing to a page at wiki.jboss.org and generate a docbook project and documents.

The syntax is:

$ java -jar wiki2docbook.jar {url of wiki page} {output directory} {main file name} 

Here's an example

java -jar wiki2docbook.jar http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/ResteasyJAXRSDocumentation /Users/billburke/jboss/jaxrs-docbook jaxrs

I've really only tested it with the wiki page ResteasyJAXRSDocumentation.  The way it works is that it looks on the initial page for bullet blocks and generates chapters from the hierarchy of bullets and the pages they link to.  Basically it is expecting that the URL provided is a table of contents.  It will create a chapter for each top level link and subchapters for each nested links.  It will automatically traverse wiki links to generate those chapters.  Headers within those linked pages will be embedded as subchapters as well.

What is the output?

The output is an ANT project.  The project expects a docbook-support project in the directory above the one you specified in the command line:

myfiles/
        jaxrs-docbook/build.xml
        docbook-support/

Just build the build.xml file generated.  A pdf, single page html, and multi-page html project will be generate in the build/ directory.
