Question:

I would like to have a Topic with links to other Topics. The links should not only call the other topic but also change the skin. Just adding ?skin=print after the WikiWord doesn't help.

Answer:

If the topic linked to is in the current web you can use <a href="LinkToDedicatedSkins?skin=print">printable version</a> otherwise you will have to use a fully qualifed address (http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/LinkToDedicatedSkins?skin=print)

The answer was expected but is not satisfactory. There should be an easier solution (maybe in a future release). The solution should be in a way that one can add the link like % TOPIC %.skin=print so it can be used without knowing the Topic Name. If the topic gets renamed, the linked should be renamed as well (I think with your solution this is not the case?).

Write:

[[%SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?skin=print][printable view]]

to get:

printable view
