I think that Print link to open popup window with printable
HTML version of page is very useful thing, so I would like
to have it in my ikiwiki :)
Probably it's better to generate a page on the fly as a CGI
(just the same like for RecentChanges page) when a user
really needs it, instead to build static printable version
for all ikiwiki pages. --Pawel
I've always considered print links to be a sign of a badly designed web
site that looks ugly in a printer because it's ugly anywhere, so I may
take some convinving. :-) Ikiwiki pages seem like they'd print out ok
as-is to me.
(I also often click on print links, just to get a web page that I can
read, especially often hoping that it will have the whole article on it,
instead of the 99 tiny pagelets nasty websites like to split things into.
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate the web?)
One option, if your stylesheet contained something that was unpalatable
in printing, would be to define an alternate stylesheet optimised for
printing, and somehow switch the browser to use that stylesheet when
printing a page (it can be switched from a menu in the UI of some
browsers, but I'm not sure what a good way would be to switch the
stylesheet on the fly without re-rendering the page..)
