{maketoc title=""}

!! Print options
* When printing, there should be a bunch of available options (WikiPublisher.org is a great example)
* Most common options are shown by default, and the others in an advanced tab
* Since users tend to each have preferred default settings, system should remember last recent print. Ex. with cookies
* Default options are Tiki prefs. overridable by perspective

!!! List of options
!!!! Tiki options
* With / without logo / header
* With / without footer
** Option to show / hide: The original document is available at ... (which by the way doesn't site language)
* Cover page
* Table of Content -> Ideas to improve at ((dev:maketoc))
** JavaScript
** Via wkhtmltopdf
** None
* Embellish text via ((typography)) lib.
* Links
** Hide
** Show underline and external link icon
** Put link as footnote
** Put link just after label
* PluginMouseOver
** Hide
** Show as sidenote
** Show as footer
* PluginTabs
** Print current
** Print all
* + / - for headers and bullet list, or PluginFade
** Print current

!!!! Feature option
* Wiki page may have different options than printing a tracker item

!!!! Print engine alternatives
* mPDF is a very powerful PHP library
* wkhtmltopdf is the reference PDF generator and has many options: http://wkhtmltopdf.org/usage/wkhtmltopdf.txt
** phpwkhtmltopdf and Snappy should make them all available to Tiki
* WeasyPrint is a Python library
* PhantomJS would be an interesting alternative: http://phantomjs.org/api/webpage/property/paper-size.html
** https://github.com/jonnnnyw/php-phantomjs
* SlimerJS now has PDF options: https://github.com/laurentj/slimerjs/pull/195
{HTML()}<script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.openhub.net/p/slimerjs/widgets/project_factoids_stats?format=js'></script>{HTML}

!!!! Print engine options
See [http://www.mpdfonline.com/repos/mpdfmanual.pdf|mPDF manual] for a large number of examples
* PDF outlines
** Table of content -> Ideas to improve at: ((dev:maketoc))
* Header / Footer (Page numbers, title, date / time of print)
* Watermark
* Page sizes (A4, letter, etc) and options
* Print as user X or group Y, which can use to personalize or redact text. Can we use PluginGroup or should be go for creating a PluginRedact?
* etc.

!! Other ideas
* It would be nice to use a wiki page to make the template to layout the header / footer / etc.
* Maybe there should be a way to override some mPDF params via a wiki plugin? ex: force a page break. This page in landscape mode. force another page break. This page in portrait mode. Ex.: {print break=page} {print layout=portrait}
