Print friendly page link?

Is it possible to offer print friendly page links so that they can be parsed properly for further storage? For instance all those feature rows and ads etc show up when the page saved locally. There are some helpful posts that the users might want to make a local backup.

Another issue is that when apaged saved/stored locally only a portion of the page is saved due to scrolling feature. I presume a printer friendly version of the page would offer the full post with replies.

Have you tried printing a page? It should work.

My issue is not printing, I use Joplin and couple other apps to store useful pages.

See the pdf for how the page is parsed for this post, and this output is app agnostic, so it is really about the page structure more than anything else.

Blender_Artists_Community.pdf (1.1 MB)

I was just wondering if there is a work around, since most parsers want a url to parse and save. So a printer friendly local output does not help.

Other than that, I have no idea. I recommend you do a search on meta.discourse.org, and if you can’t find an answer ask.

Thank you, I will post it here if I find a solution.
