Hi Tony, I attempted to make a label-maker-type tool that required precise control over margins and positioning of labels for printing. I had some success but in the end, it relied on setting particular (mostly zero) margins at the browser level which made it hard for me to deploy anywhere. My conclusions were: - Different browsers frustratingly handle print media CSS differently or ignore the settings completely - There are a ton of little spots where padding creeps in to mess up your layout. I think that I zeroed most of them in my tool.
Regardless you can drag the Label Tool tag over to an empty tiddlywiki and dig around. I hope that something in the stylesheets there helps. http://mwiktowy.tiddlyspot.com/#Label%20Tool%20-%20Main%20Menu /Mike On Sunday, August 11, 2019 at 1:03:21 AM UTC-3, TonyM wrote: > > In relation to View and Print tiddlers with page handling - help requested > <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/SthCKBaE0c0> > > I am looking at using the @page media in css.
