Improving print view

1 Requirements

I proprose to generally hide the following page elements while printing (using bootstrap's "hidden-print"):

• Main menu (aka complete header)
• Locator
• Tabs incl. sub-tabs
• Head-Action
• Left navigation, e.g. repository tree
• Footer
• Table: num-info incl. columns, rows, views

The page header (aka main menu) uses a fixed height, this needs to be addressed in print view.

3 Discussion

, 22 Aug 2016: as bootstrap removes all background colors when printing it might also be beneficial to define a (light) border for the ILIAS panel UI component (for media print only). The ILIAS theme heavily relies on the different panel background colors to structure the layout and this is completely lost on hard copies.
As an alternative specific elements might retain their background color,  the feasibility needs to be tested.
