Good to hear that! I tried to print a page using my mobile and it
looked great! Great work people. It would be better if the following
were considered,
1. Currently it seems that the images found in the unexpanded sections
aren't rendered in the PDF file. As a result a blank space is found in
their place and the image description seems to be describing a blank
space!! Possible solutions are,
i) Trying to render all images found in a page regardless of whether
the sections are expanded or not
ii) Don't print the unexpanded sections
I would love to see (i) being chosen as a solution. :)
Yes sadly this is a known problem and relates to the fact we lazy load images. You can follow what we discussed and what our plans are going forward here:
The short of it is:
* There is no way to asynchronously load images when a print is detected
* We filed a bug upstream against the HTML standard:
* It looks like the only way to avoid this problem in the mean time is to provide a non-browser print button.
2. Rendering links would be helpful but it seems to clutter up the
reading experience of printed articles which have a lot of links in
them (e.g. God). It would be better if some kind of alternative was
chosen to highlight links such that they don't distract the user from
their main motive (reading).
I'll defer to Nirzar on this one!
