[drupal-docs] Exporting Books from Drupal

[Kieran Lal]

But I still need to extract the doc from beta.civicspacelabs.org and 
get it into other Drupal sites.   If I can extract my existing book and 
add it through the helpedit table that fine, but I'll still need 
detailed instructions on how make a book into a SQL dump.

Help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Kieran
