> proposed workaround for the missing print template functionality

I don't think this will happen for the reasons described in bug #50750.

* Maybe you need to introduce <noprint>...</noprint> and
<onlyprint>...</onlyprint> parser tags. Not sure if this is a good idea. Talk
to Raimond Spekking please.

* Maybe it would be a good idea to improve your CSS parser. Most current errors
in the PDF export have something to do with CSS positioning
("position:absolute" inside a container with "position:relative"). This would
fix a lot of errors in a lot of templates. Especially in all map templates.

* A lot more problems can be fixed by introducing a feature to exclude certain
web links from print. For example: <span
class="noprintlinks">{{Coordinate|...}}</span> (I'm sure there is a better
class name for this feature, e.g. "dontprintexternallinks" or simply exclude
all toollabs and toolserver links from print). This would be extremely helpful
in lists and tables with hundreds of coordinates. They link to the Geohack tool
which is completely useless in print. Nobody types the long tool URLs. It's a
lot easier to type the coordinates.

This are just a few simple suggestions. We need you to make this a reality.
Pointing to a proposed workaround that was already rejected and would not fix
the problems anyway does not help.
