Re: [sword-devel] OSIS WEB TOOL - Print?

[Chris Little]

I have to agree with Tom here.  If we want to attach the print CSS to 
the page so that it looks differently when printed from the on-screen 
presentation, that's fine, but we should retain the printer-friendly 
link.  In other words, I think we should have screen and printer 
versions that we present to the user on the screen but both versions 
should generate the same appearance when sent to the printer.

The lack of awareness of these features of CSS among people on this list 
is proof enough that this is needed.

Hi,

I'm usually just listening on this mail list, but as a future user of 
the web tool,
I think having a 'print' button to bring up a printer-friendly version 
of the page is a very good idea.  If a site using frames doesn't have 
such a button, I've become reluctant to try printing it at all, because 
the results are so often horrible.  And, although I may not exactly 
understand the significance of using a special 'print' stylesheet, if it 
means that the printed page doesn't look like what's on the screen, 
people won't be as happy with this as with a "give-me-a-printable-page" 
button.

Just my 2p.  I'll fade back into the underbrush again now...

You can do that with a print style sheet. I have one with the mock-up

Print that page straight from your browser and see how it looks.
