Hello Robert, All the docs for Barracuda are going to be modified for the move to the new BarracudaMVC.org server (not up quite yet, but soon). I think Christian is driving the re-work, so if you have ideas for how to make sure that the pages are printer-friendly, send them to the list. One obvious way is to provide an stylesheet with a media type of "print". That way, the page can be whatever you want it to look like on the web and also look exactly how you want it for printing as well without either style constraining the other. To see this implemented, check out: http://www.alistapart.com/ Try doing a print-preview of that page. Notice how the right navigation that was on the page isn't there in the print-preview? That is because they have a printer-specific stylesheet defined: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="/print.css" /> Also, their lead story for this week is a nice guideline for what should happen with the Barracuda docs rework: http://www.alistapart.com/stories/flexiblelayouts/ I have plenty of resources on these ideas. If questions come up about styles, don't hesitate to query me. I want to make sure the doc rework doesn't become a hob-job of nested tables and spacer images like it is currently.
