Description Marcos Caceres 2013-06-12 16:31:39 UTC 
Can you please remove the page break from the print style? It wastes a lot of paper when the spec is printed (and doesn't seem to be particularly helpful with improving legibility of the spec... a slightly larger font when printing would, however:)).

Hmm, don't print the spec? That's wasteful.

Hixie, seems like your territory.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-07-02 22:04:20 UTC 
The only page breaks are before <h2> elements, which are pretty few and far between (they're chapter-level headings). What's the specific chapter that's causing the problem?

Generally speaking, it's pretty standard to start a new chapter on a new page.

Note that I added a class "short" to the style sheet that we can put on <h2>s that are short and shouldn't get a whole page to themselves, if we have any.

Marcos, if this is still a problem, please stop printing! If you cannot help yourself, talk with ian@hixie.ch. I can't fix this on my end and I'm not very appreciative of the problem to begin with.

Emailed Hixie explaining the issue further.
