Description Michael Manlief 2004-02-18 20:58:57 UTC
While the new handbook layout is nice, it's very aggravating to have to print each page seperately.  Also, I have to pay for printouts per page.  A "printer friendly" format that doesn't use GIGANTIC SUPERBOLD TOPIC HEADERS (the non-"printer friendly" version has _smaller_ headers!) would save me (and others) a few bucks.  All in all you guys really need to redo/rethink your "printer friendly" features.  Should be easy enough seeing as you use xml and css :P.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the handbook.
2. Start printing each page.
3. Fill the already beleaguered printer queue.
4. Forcefully remove hair in large chunks.
5. Rinse and repeat.


Expected Results:  
At least have a single page for the installation instructions.  And take it a
little easier on the header font sizes.

I don't think the headers are really that big; it's of course a matter of opinion, but I'd rather keep it like this as it has worked out great.

The one-page installation instructions are coming; I'm postponing it every day for no apparent reason, probably just waiting until Xavier kills me for not pushing it :) 

Hmmm... I have a couple of minutes left, I'll go test his stylesheets...

Xavier has made the necessary changes to allow for one-page viewing.
