Wayne, Thank you. As you might have seen, I've begun applying it to the OER Handbook. I am also glad it wasn't too hard to fix.

No worries -- glad WE could help. I had an hour or two last night, and had a play with trying to add some value on selected pages by adding images and minor edits.

[WikiEducator] Re: Displaying links at WE with print in mind
Hi Seth,
For the benefit of the list, our current implementation of wiki ==
print enables us to specify print specific templates.
Therefore {{Template:Foo}} will render normally on WE, however
{{Template:Foo_print}} can be used to specify print specific
rendering. So if you want to remove {{Template_Navigation}} from the
pdf version {{Template:Navigation_print}} that is essentially empty
will remove the Navigation in the printed version. Note that the
_print is lowercase p.
I've asked Pediapress who are developing the Wiki == pdf code whether
we can build a feature that displays the full url of any link an an
article page as a footnote in the pdf version. At any rate, I will
know within the next couple of days whether or not we could get this
implemented on WE. That said, if there are any python / Mediawiki
hackers on this list -- they may be able to help out with this
feature. The code (which is open source) is maintained here:
http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/wiki
In the mean time, assuming the need is urgent, I think its possible to
develop a footnote template for WE. After each link the author can
insert a footnote, where the footnote contains the full url. So this
would then print as text in the pdf version -- I think.
There are one or two folk on the list who are more skilled and
qualified than me to give a solid answer.
BTW -- the OER handbook is a great project!
Cheers
Wayne
