GHOP #23

[Vitezslav Smid <vi...@gmail.com>]

Hello,
I've just claimed GHOP Issue #23 so I'm writing for more information.
How should the printer-friendly version look? Should it simply copy the
current layout?

I know CSS very well, but with XSLT I'm rather a beginner.

(I swamped with other projects this week)

Hopefully here is enough detail:

For the site
1) In site/trunk/xdocs/stylesheets/tomcat-site.xsl - this is the file to 
change.
Below
<link type="text/css" href="stylesheets/tomcat.css" rel="stylesheet" />
add
<link type="text/css" href="stylesheets/tomcat-printer.css" 
rel="stylesheet" media='printer'/>

2)
In tomcat-printer.css - add a style
.noPrint {display:none}

3) Back in site/trunk/xdocs/stylesheets/tomcat-site.xsl - sprinkle 
class='noPrint' as needed

-------------------------------
For tomcat {version} its a little more involved. Preferably this is done 
on trunk.

There is some XSL to chuck in webapps/docs/tomcat-docs.xsl which has 
some if/else logic to decide when to hide stuff in printer freindly 
versions. Since those physical docs will go away - many of those if 
checks can go away and be altered with class='noPrint'

For example:
         <!-- Don't generate a menu if styling printer friendly docs -->
         <xsl:if test="$project-menu = 'menu'">
           <xsl:comment>LEFT SIDE NAVIGATION</xsl:comment>
           <td width="20%" valign="top" nowrap="true">
             <xsl:apply-templates select="project/body/menu"/>
           </td>
         </xsl:if>
Becomes:
         <xsl:comment>LEFT SIDE NAVIGATION</xsl:comment>
         <td width="20%" valign="top" nowrap="true" class='noPrint'>
           <xsl:apply-templates select="project/body/menu"/>
         </td>


Also in webapps/docs/build.xml there will be some code to trim out since 
  the style task doesn't need run additional times for printer friendly 
versions.

****
One gotcha about the style task, if you change the xsl file and re-run 
the build - typically nothing happens. You need to chuck the generated 
files (or touch the xml files)
****

I'll try to get more details this evening if I was too vague about the 
above.

Tim, I believe this was your idea.  Can you please share some details
with Vitezslav?
