That's what is done currently at the Genzentrum in
Munich for their BioInformatics Course, that started
this month. Each lecture consists at least of one
html page. Furthermore, the course is hold by several
lecturers...

Now how to create a paperbound script, be it ascii
or postscript, including some information on links,
pagenumbers, ...

For single html pages to ascii, I'm using lynx with
some massaging, so link info *can* by rescued into
the ascii variant. However, online-courses in the
biological sciences often contain tons of pictures,
so a html-tree to postscript (with table of contents
and list of figures and links, ...) is asked for.

A solution using netscape to view and save each
page is clearly insufficient (as netscape knows
pages but no "webs"/trees). The task reminds me
of robots that mirror a defined subset of the
(local?) web of html documents and graphics and
produce postscript instead of dumping the sources
to the local filesystem.

Any ideas, hints, known tools for this (next)
level of publishing multipart documents?

thanks for any ideas,

CU
Peter

(non-standard disclaimer: I'm not one of the lecturers,
and for most standard faqs, this problem will not (yet)
occur...)
