Description Jonathan Garbee 2012-10-12 16:34:52 UTC
I think a few print styles could be useful to make what is printed more accurate and useful.

For example, printing the page for keeping things on topic { http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Keeping_on_Topic } I get the menu, breadcrumbs, and tools part at the top of the printed page.  I also get the stewards at the bottom.

Here are the elements I think should be hidden on printed page:

#sitenav
#hierarchy-menu
.toolbar
#mw-footer > .stewards //Trying to target the stewards class as a child of the footer, not sure if this is 100% accurate.




Another cool thing to see would be printed links.  This is descibed over on A List Apart at { http://www.alistapart.com/articles/goingtoprint/ }.

I found another print style that could be updated.  The Desktop Compatability table on the referenced page prints without borders.  Meanwhile the Mobile Compatabilty does.  The class for the table is " compat-table ".

We should either update the print style for the Destkop table to print with borders or we should get a uniform table style to use.  It looks like this could be related to the forms since I see it is generating the tables.  So the form should get updated to use the compat-table class for mobile and then the class should get a print style to add a border.
