From the wxProjects project: francoisr - francoisrioux
"What about a print button (function) that would open a
new window with the current page but with a simple
PageTemplate that would only show the content without
the sidebar, header and footer?
This would make a more decent and usefull paper
presentation.

On screen, on can easily abstract the sidebar and
header while reading. But those are simply useless and
wasting paper when printed and make the documents
less readable and less attractive."

"See

If you think that's not enough I can change the future
versions
to have "text-only" output..."

"NB: I just followed you link. I hope my description of
template matches what you have in mind for per-page
templates. And great job. I'm glad to see this product
keeps
evolving.

I like the idea of a text-only output. It would do the trick
better
than editing the css everytime I want to print.. If I understand

it right.

But pushing the idea a bit further. a templated display would
be great.

Today, you 1 html template and 1 css. to render the Wiki.

I can imagine a 'skinnable' layout where one could
pick from
a list of (html) templates to render the wiki. This could, for

those who like or need, allow to customize the appearance of
the wiki on a page by page basis. (A new page could use
the calling page by default).

This could allow more developpers or designers to share
templates and render you wiki more attractive.
