http://deseng.ryerson.ca/icons/mini/notdone.png User-defined width of printed page width.
Problem
  • For class notes, it is desirable to have a wide margin, where students can add their own notes.
  • But this isn't necessary for other kinds of pages.
  • So the line-width of the printed page must be variable.
Solution
  • Add a variable that can be set in a web config topic: PRINTPAGELINEWIDTH.
    • Does this centre or left-justify the output? I think it's left-aligned.
  • Use this in Style files to set the default line-width of the body.
  • Set this in Learning Web and (possibly) in Design Web to ensure a sufficient margin.
