Offer PDF export of original pagination of entire books

• Problem: Presently PDF conversion of proofread wikisource books doesn't mirrors original pagination and page design of original edition, since it comes from ns0 transclusion.

• Who would benefit: Offline readers.

• Proposed solution: To build an alternative PDF coming from conversion, page for page, of nsPage namespace.

• More comments: Some wikisource contributors think that nsIndex and nsPage are simply "transcription tools"; I think that they are much more - they are the true digitalization of a edition, while ns0 transclusioni is something like a new edition.

Discussion

• I've renamed this (to make it more distinct from e.g. Community Wishlist Survey 2017/Wikisource/Improve export of electronic books; hope that's correct @Alex brollo? This is about creating somewhat facsimile editions of books, yes? Sam Wilson 23:29, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

@Samwilson: Yes, perfect, thank you! --Alex brollo (talk) 07:49, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
