Another print version

[Strubbl]

I would like to have a feature, where i can press a key and get a version of the presentation, which I can print. Or at least a CSS-File, which can be used, if I want to print the slides. For example, print 6 slides per page (2 columns and 3 rows).

Have you tried printing slides currently? There is a print stylesheet that is part of deck.core which makes everything very stripped down, black and white, one slide per page. Is this a request for a change to that stylesheet?

[Strubbl]

It would be cool, if I press for example the key 'p', the design would show the print version. I tried printing the presentation, but there is so much space between the slides as it is only one slide per page.

So what you've described is a combination of a print preview extension and a theme that provides a different print stylesheet. I don't intend to do this myself, but I'll leave this open with the lazyweb tag should anybody else want to tackle either aspect and add their contributions to the wiki.

[Strubbl]

Oh, i see. I should have filed two tickets. Thanks, perhaps somebody else wants to contribute.

@Strubbl It's fine that it's one ticket, I just wanted to get things as clear as possible for anyone that stumbles upon this.

I'm confused, so in the end is there a way to have the whole content printed on screen without any stuff related to slide, just the HTML content (with style) but on a standard continuous page ? Something like the "print view" (P key) of slideous, for example.

[imakewebthings]

@SR-G There is nothing in core to do this. Somebody would have to write an extension to make this as easy as hitting 'p'. If it's any help, not including a transition theme CSS file and not initializing the deck at all (don't call $.deck('.slide')) has the effect you're after.

Is the slidesheet in the deck.core folder? I've customized by css and added new classes and my print version is messed up (at least some slides are). Try print previewing one of my decks and you'll see that the first slide appears in the middle and looks completely garbled . Also, a couple of custom fonts I use (to generate symbols) don't appear in the print version (so I'd like to update that too).
thanks.

@karthikram The print stylesheet is part of deck.core.css. Everything inside the @media print block.

Sass: https://github.com/imakewebthings/deck.js/blob/master/core/deck.core.scss#L386-450
CSS: https://github.com/imakewebthings/deck.js/blob/master/core/deck.core.css#L311-407

Closing this as wont-fix in core.
