normaly a printlayout is done with another page-definition and the
typeNum 98.
this takes the content from the 'normal' page (type=0) and arranges it
fitted for the print.
The printlayout can be accessed with the normal URL and the additional
parameter "&type=98" so it is possible to have a link for each page which
shows the actual page formatted for print.
you can reuse your existing page-definition like this:
page = PAGE
page {
// this is default:
typeNum = 0
:
: here your page-definition
:
}
// copy your existing page:
printpage < page
// do some modification:
printpage {
// like: remove menu
10 >
// like. include additional CSS
includeCSS.print =
}
