[geeklog-devel] PDF feature....

[Tony Bibbs]

Yeah, the generator take a simple URL as an argument.  It then downloads 
the HTML for the URL and converts it to PDF.  That should make 
integration into GL's plugins a breeze.

Oh, and has Diego gotten back to you?  He should lurk in the IRC channel 
when he gets a chance.
