So after a few days of (hopefully) well deserved vacation, I'm back to TM development, and I'm currently adding support for printing.
Definitely well deserved!
But printing plain text from a plain text editor is really alien to me ;) so I was curious, what options do people expect to see?
These would be top of my list (in rough order of importance):
- The ability to select different fonts for display and print (Nice to reduce the size of long printouts)
- Line numbers
- Some flexibility in defining headers / footers (File / path name, modification date / page number / total pages)
- A switch to right-justify soft-wrapped lines
- The ability to switch syntax highlighting on or off when printing, or perhaps the ability to select a different form of highlighting. (Highlighting can look pretty awful on paper - depending on the font. Printouts are often clearest with just the class / method / function declarations in bold - for easy reference).
- Some form of control over orphans / widows (agree with the comments from José and Justin)
Cheers all, -- Andre
