Description
Summary
Currently, the React documentation cannot be printed. Please add features for the documentation to be printable.
Details
I prefer reading documentation offline.
I'd like to add annotations. I want to read documentation from a book, not online.
This way of learning supports nature sustainment, is less energy draining and allows for better concentration.
The React documentation has come to a state where it is stable for the most part.
In the past, I successfully printed loads of online documentation and had some of them even be bound:
Current Situation
Currently, printing the React documentation is not possible:
Desired Situation
-
Add CSS rules providing for reasonably printing the React documentation
-
Add a "Download PDF" button to the documentation's left menu for printing a whole chapter/topic spanning several web pages as a whole (e.g. "Describing the UI"), like Microsoft does with their online documentation:
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reviewing the React documentation site's styling and left-menu entry point, focusing on how print output and chapter navigation currently work. Done means the documentation prints reasonably and a left-menu Download PDF option can produce a whole chapter or topic spanning multiple pages.
