We did our best to provide a special CSS for print so that
learners and instructors
could print the lessons using the native print feature of web
browsers.
Unfortunately web browsers print feature isn't 100% perfect and
many of the
features that we want from CSS aren't implemented yet.

https://github.com/swcarpentry/lesson-template/pull/281
would make print the hole lesson easy but I never finished it. =(
And the "perfect" solution depends on LaTeX.

I will talk with the lessons maintainers and see if we can improve
this.

Cheers,
Raniere

Re: [Discuss] lesson material as pdf?

[Fotis E. Psomopoulos]

I have found it easy to convert the html pages of a given lesson into an 
epub file (I'm using Calibre to do this, but I guess that there are 
several other tools that can do the same thing). The epub file can then 
be converted into a pdf file.


I know that it's not the most straightforward way from lesson to pdf, 
but I stick to the epub files in any case.


Regards,

Fotis
