Change to print styling #2907
Comments
Fixed in #2910 |
So is print styling no longer recommended as a best practice by the USWDS? I looked at all the A-F websites that are using it and surprisingly few had print CSS definitions. Some of the best are:
Some are doing it inline like: There really aren't many USWDS sites that are using print CSS. I don't think a change in documentation is going to do much. |
@mgifford @saracope - flex box/uswds is not printer friendly and really is not up to par with what most clients expect in regards to printer output. |
Description
Issue: It is not clear to users that the USWDS does not "handle" print styling.
Result: Users do not add a print stylesheet. Consequently, when the print version of their site looks wonky they equate this to a bug in the design system.
Consider:
1.) Omitting the media type for the condensed style sheet or setting it to 'all'.
2.) Documenting the descision here and a (possible) recommendation for users to create their own print stylesheets as needed.
Reasoning: This would at least allow the site to use any already defined styles it has for a better experience.
TODO
Investigate: Any side effects to making this change in the design system, especially with accessibility.
