All,

I noticed a series of typos on the connectors docs and I was going to
fix them. Before noticing that, as usual, .xml -> .html, I saw that
there are two copies of many parts of the site: "regular" and "printer".
For example:

./tomcat-site/docs/connectors-doc/generic_howto/printer/workers.html
./tomcat-site/docs/connectors-doc/generic_howto/workers.html
./tomcat-site/docs/connectors-doc/reference/printer/workers.html
./tomcat-site/docs/connectors-doc/reference/workers.html

I checked, and the only difference appears to be that the "regular"
pages have a link to the "printable" pages, their links (due to nested
directories) all have an additional ".." in them, and of course the
"left navigation bar" is missing.

Is there a reason not to do this with CSS where the @media=print just
hides the left bar? I think we'd have a slightly simpler docs/build,
fewer pages and links, etc.

Any objections to me removing those extra pages and using CSS instead?

We'd want to set up permanent redirects from the printer/* URLs to their
replacements, and I don't know how to do that from the docs themselves
unless we actually code META REFRESH which seems silly when the web
server can handle that for us. I'd need a bit of help from the infra
team for that, I think.

Thanks,
-chris
