Folks,
I am just bumping this thread. I will be working tomorrow on this, in 14+
Hours.
*I have one tiddlywiki specific question arising.*
We can use style="width: 100%;" to display content across the full width of
a tiddler. But as you know tiddlers can be an indefinite length. I imagine
if we wanted to limit this length by using scrollable sections we may want
to set a vertical size of some sort. Of course 100% is not relevant but has
anyone given some thought to what would be an appropriate way to determine
a suitable height of a tiddler in which the content was scrollable?.
*My research so far on print*
A lot of people suggest tables are not appropriate in page handling but all
my data is already in tables. CSS and or w3.css seems to have all I need to
do this but I need to have a broad understanding before I can use it to
retrofit lengthless tiddlywiki tables. Although I do prefer to construct my
tables with html. It also looks like its easy to generate a footer at the
bottom of the page and decide which content can or can not break across
pages.
The below basic example works on tiddlywiki.com
I want to have a number of tables, print on a number of pages and with
reoccuring heading for each page the same table appears on.
So It seems I need the following
- The various sections that define each page, perhaps with a first and
subsequent pages, and possibly odd and even pages (Left and Right)
- Then a way to define tables within the page that overflow to the next
page with internal heading and footers.
I am trying to find a basic code snipit I can use to do this but only find
part of it in any given place. *So If anyone has a good reference please
share.*
Example
<style>
@page {
size: A4 landscape;
}
table { page-break-inside:auto }
div { page-break-inside:avoid; } /* This is the key */
thead { display:table-header-group }
tfoot { display:table-footer-group }
</style>
