+MuS162 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Dear Groundspeak-Team, thank you for your great work in constantly improving the quality of the geocaching.com-website! As the community grows, more and more geocachers make use of HTML to format their cache-listings. But there is still a major issue that restricts the way of formatting such a listing: there are different stylesheets used on different pages! This may be a serious problem for geocachers that take a printed copy of a listing on their cache hunt. Some parts of a HTML-formatted listing are NOT readable in the intended way after printing it out. Of course it is a common way to use different CSS-stylesheets on websites, e.g. on GC.com there is one for the regular listing of a geocache and one for the printing page. But is there a specific reason why there are two different font-styles and different rendering of specific HTML-tags used for these two pages? It would be nice if the same CSS-styles could be used for both pages (including fonts, margin and padding of tables, etc.). For example, at the moment it's not possible to use HTML-lists in the printig page although they can be used in the regular listing of a geocache. Please have a look at the following example. The following HTML-code: <p>This is an unordered list:</p> <ul> <li>First</li> <li>Second</li> <li>Third</li> </ul> <p>This is an ordered list:</p> <ol> <li>First</li> <li>Second</li> <li>Third</li> </ol> ... is rendered as follows on the regular cache listing page: But on the print page it is rendered as follows: ... one should see the difference ... E.g. to make ordered HTML-lists printable one has to use HTML-tables and instead put the numbers there manually. This is fine as long as a cacher prints out the listing, but the description of a cache will be messed up for cachers with special paperless-GPSr-devices (i.e. Garmin Oregon). Thanks in advance for your reply! Best regards MuS162 Link to comment
+Corey Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I've tried to force bullets using CSS but HTML Tidy wipes that out too. Link to comment
OpinioNate Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 We revamped the print-friendly page for this next release and our designer is somewhat confident this problem is fixed. After the release we'll have a look and decide if a bug needs to be opened. Link to comment
+MuS162 Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 It seems that there already was a release some hours ago, but the metioned discrepancy has not been solved Link to comment

Please have a look at it again. Link to comment
