Hi all,

I am putting together a print stylesheet for an online newsletter that contains 
quite a number of urls, some of which are very long.

In order to make the printed version of the newsletter meaningful I have 
considered using:

#content a:after { content: " (" attr(href) ") "; }

to show the urls after the links. This is fine, except for the really long 
urls, which:

1. are really ugly
2. make readability of the newsletter poor
3. do not break in Firefox (at least on the Mac), and are therefore truncated, 
rendering them useless.

I have found an article entitled: "Improving Link Display for Print":

<http://www.alistapart.com/articles/improvingprint/>

which overcomes points 1. and 2. above, but not point 3.

However, this is only useful if JavaScript is enabled.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Otherwise I guess I'm going to have to do away with the links altogether :(

Cheers,

--
