{syntax type="markdown" editor="wysiwyg"} See also: ((Typography)) [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12302819/how-to-create-a-printable-twitter-bootstrap-page] [http://dev.tiki.org/Print] {maketoc title=""} ## Print options - When printing, there should be a bunch of available options (WikiPublisher.org is a great example) - Most common options are shown by default, and the others in an advanced tab - Since users tend to each have preferred default settings, system should remember last recent print. Ex. with cookies - Default options are Tiki prefs. overridable by perspective ### List of options #### Tiki options - With / without logo / header - With / without footer - Option to show / hide: The original document is available at ... (which by the way doesn't site language) - Cover page - Table of Content -> Ideas to improve at ((dev:maketoc)) - JavaScript - Via wkhtmltopdf - None - Embellish text via ((typography)) lib. - Links - Hide - Show underline and external link icon - Put link as footnote - Put link just after label - PluginMouseOver - Hide - Show as sidenote - Show as footer - PluginTabs - Print current - Print all - + / - for headers and bullet list, or PluginFade - Print current - Open all - PluginVersions - Print current - Print all #### Feature option - Wiki page may have different options than printing a tracker item #### Print engine alternatives - mPDF is a very powerful PHP library - wkhtmltopdf is the reference PDF generator and has many options: http://wkhtmltopdf.org/usage/wkhtmltopdf.txt - phpwkhtmltopdf and Snappy should make them all available to Tiki - WeasyPrint is a Python library - PhantomJS would be an interesting alternative: http://phantomjs.org/api/webpage/property/paper-size.html - https://github.com/jonnnnyw/php-phantomjs - SlimerJS now has PDF options: https://github.com/laurentj/slimerjs/pull/195 {HTML()}<script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.openhub.net/p/slimerjs/widgets/project_factoids_stats?format=js'></script>{HTML} #### Print engine options See [http://www.mpdfonline.com/repos/mpdfmanual.pdf|mPDF manual] for a large number of examples - PDF outlines - Table of content -> Ideas to improve at: ((dev:maketoc)) - Header / Footer (Page numbers, title, date / time of print) - Watermark - Page sizes (A4, letter, etc) and options - Print as user X or group Y, which can use to personalize or redact text. Can we use PluginGroup or should be go for creating a PluginRedact? - etc. ## Other ideas - It would be nice to use a wiki page to make the template to layout the header / footer / etc. - Maybe there should be a way to override some mPDF params via a wiki plugin? ex: force a page break. This page in landscape mode. force another page break. This page in portrait mode. Ex.: {print break=page} {print layout=portrait} ## Related links - http://www.sitepoint.com/10-jquery-print-page-options/ {DIV(class=titlebar)} alias {DIV} - (alias(Bootstrap print))
