             Bug #: 32795
           Summary: Margins (MediaWiki CSS file commonPrint.css)
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General/Unknown
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


The MediaWiki CSS file commonPrint.css (skins/common/commonPrint.css) contains
the following CSS rule (lines #161-164):

p, .documentDescription {
    margin: 1em 0 !important;
    line-height: 1.2em;
}

The !important specifier should be removed. It sets paragraph margins to 1em,
regardless of the actual styling and layout of the page (in regular mode). Many
pages in the Hebrew wikisource make use of special styling/layout of the text,
and this rule breaks the style in print mode, makes them effectively
unprintable.
Major wikis (i.e., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js) try to
avoid this problem by providing some overloaded rules --
   mw.util.addCSS( '@media print { sup, sub, p, .documentDescription {
line-height: normal; }}');
However, due to the !important specifier, subsequent rules cannot alter the
original one.
