Printer-friendly format

by Volker Weber

Since very short or very long posts did not print very well, I have decided to add a new format for individual entries. When you are looking at any post, there will be a link at the bottom of the page — below the Comments form — to the printer-friendly page.

Yes, I had a specific reason to build this. :-)

Hi, Volker,

I was just wondering, why don't you use CSS? if you use CSS2 Media Types you don't need to create a printer-friendly page.
You use one style for display in screens and another to print.

take a look at http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_mediatypes.asp
you can follow that examples to build your own.

Using media types of course is another options. But just check the css-discuss archives - it works, but it's still a mess to get it working properly across browsers.
