Question

When printing a topic that contains a long portion of verbatim script, most of the text doesn't print.

The Printable view looks fine, but the printed copy breaks up into 3 sections, each on it's own page: 1 is the text before the start verbatim tag, 2 is the text after the start verbatim tag BUT only as much as will fit on that page (Mozilla's print preview shows the missing text running off the bottom of the page), 3 is everything after the end verbatim tag.

I've tried any number of things, that only thing that "works" is to encase every line of text in verbatim lines, that way no line of verbatim text is longer than the bottom of the printing page. This makes the page load VERY slowly.

I've found nothing about this problem in TWiki.org, so I'm hoping someone out there can help me get this printing correctly.

I'm using Dakar (TWiki version Wed, 08 Feb 2006 build 8740, Plugin API version 1.1 ) and see the problem on both IE6 and Mozilla 5.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I've worked around the problem. The problem appears in view.print.pattern.tmpl but not in view.print.tmpl.

I've made a modified copy of view.pattern.tmpl that sets "Printable" to use view.print.tmpl instead of view.print.pattern.tmpl and life is good.
