Create a printable trail of your wanderings through the MoinMoin

There comes John. John creates software. He has a wiki full of useful information about his work but a small screen.

So he prints out everything he needs, spreads the paper on his desk and then works though it.

Unfortunately, there are lots of small pieces of paper, each with a bit of information on it and a lot of empty space.

It would be nice if John could create a print trail of the pages he did visit in the wiki.

Maybe it would work like this: There is a "start print trail" button. After it has been selected, the wiki starts to collect all the pages one is visiting and the button changes into "print trail".

When John clicks on "print trail", all visited pages are presented as one large Wiki page. A bit of JavaScript could allow to delete some parts which you don't really want.

The deluxe version should create a PDF of all the visited pages and create page references for all links ("MoinMoin (see p. 15)").

This feature is probably useful for developers but maybe also for people who like to read a wiki from printed paper. With it, they could collect all necessary information for one job in a single page or printout.
