[TYPO3-english] Download website as static (html5)

[Mark Boland]

Hi Bernd,

the extension spiders by itself, can spider special page types (different 
template, frontend with menu/spider without, different javascript etc., 
freedom of choice for templating engine (Classic, Templa Voila, Fluid), 
can render several languages at once (we author our Online Help files for 
Windows applications in 5 languages with it), can generate a TOC and an 
index (both are also applicable to EPUBs) automatically (TOC from page 
tree layout, index from index markers in RTE). The results are cached, so 
it could use a scheduler job to prepare the files every night and deliver 
them on a push of a button.

There is also a commercial solution that is not connected to our project 
that we found after we finished the first beta (life is cruel sometimes). 
I can’t find the URL at the moment, but I’m sure it is still alive.

There is currently no frontend plugin for it, but I don’t think that it 
would take long to make one.

We did cut some corners, though. You definitely need RealUrl (or some 
other form of URL rewriting) and the project in its current form is 
tailored to our needs. For example, we would have to split the export and 
the spider module to enable different export types.

As already said, spidering needs some time (though the process could use 
the frontend cache, when running as a frontend plugin) and resources – 
hey, you _are_ ordering TYPO3 to generate all pages and content elements 
for you.

@katja: Then you would already be there: The source folder for CHM is 
already a ready-to-go HTML folder with an index.html file at its base 
(just ignore the project file and the TOC and index files).
