[Codestriker-user] Printing option for codestriker

[Stephen M. <che...@gm...>]

Has there been any discussion about producing diffs in a printable format?

A few people around work have been asking me for the ability to occasionall=
y
print diffs from codestriker. Of course the simple answer is that you can
using your browser's built in print function. It even looks pretty good. Bu=
t
there are a few things that would make it more "printer friendly".
    I think this could be done without adding a whole printing module, just
adding a hyperlink to pages called something a bit shorter than "printer
friendly version". People could select this from a multiple-file diff view
or a single file diff view. It would simply redisplay the current page with
the following modifications:

   - Make the background pure white. (Diffs don't look much good with all
   shading turned off, but it wastes a lot of toner to have everything shad=
ed
   in 10% grey.
   - Removing excessive header and trailer information.

I was going to work on this myself (because people here at work want it
anyway) and then submit proposed changes back to codestriker, but I thought
I'd check first to find out if this had been discussed before and if there
were strong philosophical views about this being a The Wrong Thing To Do, o=
r
something.

Let me know what you think,
