I have another question about Extension:Collection. I'm gathering from
the documentation there that it isn't able to get the output of other
extensions into the pdf - if I use an extension with custom tags that adds
HTML output to the wiki page, Collection wouldn't be able to include a
version of that output in the PDF product. Is that right?
Best,
