[sword-devel] OSIS WEB TOOL - Print?

[Chris Little]

I have to agree with Tom here.  If we want to attach the print CSS to 
the page so that it looks differently when printed from the on-screen 
presentation, that's fine, but we should retain the printer-friendly 
link.  In other words, I think we should have screen and printer 
versions that we present to the user on the screen but both versions 
should generate the same appearance when sent to the printer.

The lack of awareness of these features of CSS among people on this list 
is proof enough that this is needed.
