I want to keep the default font size as-is. The fonts on the wiki are not 
smaller than on any other web page, and modern browsers support font 
upsizing ("Ctrl +" in Firefox for instance) which should do the trick.

Dokuwiki is perfecly readable and searchable in console browsers links and 
lynx. Nevertheless, if you are in a "real" graphical web browser, you can 
render a plain text version of any page by appending the string 
"?do=export_text" to the page's URL.

I want to add further plugins to support export to one or more of the 
formats PUB and Epub. In fact, export to PDF is already available, just 
not yet as a link or button to click on. Similar to the text export above, 
you append "?do=export_pdf" and the current page will be made available to 
you as a PDF download.

When it's ready of course!
