Workaround to print code snippets in EE articles
Hi Folks,
When printing an EE article, code snippets are jumbled up...they look like this:
Gustav Brock submitted a bug report on this more than two years ago:
Code blocks of article print view are unreadable
The EE Mod at the time, Modalot, said this:
Print feature at articles does not format code snippets properly
In response to my bug report, the same Mod (Modalot) informed me that it is an old bug and is "still unresolved". Being more than 2-1/4 years old and filed as a "major bug" by a Mod who has been an EE member for more than 10 years, it seems to me that EE is either incapable of, or not interested in, fixing the bug. As a result, I'm looking to the experts here for a workaround. I want to use the workaround to "print-to-PDF" my 63 EE articles and the Steps at my 47 EE video Micro Tutorials. Although that's 110 publications, only some of them have code snippets, so while I would prefer as automated a solution as possible, having to do some manual effort on each one is fine. I'm also fine with a solution that requires other products, such as Microsoft Word, or other commercial software. Thanks for your ideas! Regards, Joe

Ouch. That renders the printout almost useless. I've filed this internally as a major bug.Not being aware of Gustav's bug report, I submitted one about two months ago:

You could also write a web-scraping PHP script to go pull down all your articles, use SimpleHtmlDom to parse the content, and then use TCPDF to generate PDFs from the content. It would be a bit of effort to get the PDF generation / formatting right but it would likely be the fastest automated solution.
are you trying to print outside, excluding the EE stuff.
Look at printing using html2ps or HTML2pdf
The issue might be with overlays.

Hi arnold,
> are you trying to print outside, excluding the EE stuff.
No. I simply want to print what the EE Print icon creates. For example, visit this article:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/33943/Automatically-download-files-from-the-web-AutoHotkey-Script.html
Look at the code block there...it displays perfectly.
At the bottom of the article, you'll see the Menu icon, which is three horizontal dots. Click that and you'll see the Print icon. Click that and it will create a printable page with this URL:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/33943/Automatically-download-files-from-the-web-AutoHotkey-Script.html?printer=true
That's where it gets messed up...look at the code block there.

The issue is the div that contains the snippet is limited, made scrollable. Not at a system to look at the HTML code, usually, any browser hitting F11 or F12 will activate the developer mode that will enable review of the elements.
The div with code, needs to be changed from scrolling/able to explicit
Forgot
The <pre> Is a pre formatted content means when displyed in the browser it is displayed as is versus HTML often does not abide by returns, spaces
I'll take a look at the HTML source and will try to identify the points of interest for you.

Hi arnold,
> Do you ave an HTML editor, wysiwyg
No, but I just Googled "html wysiwyg editor" and the first two (paid) hits are for CKEditor and Froala, both of which are complete garbage. CKEditor is the first product that EE switched to when it stopped using the Comment-block editor for articles. When EE realized how bad the CKEditor is, they switched to Froala (the current one), but it is not better than CKEditor. Anyway, do you have a recommendation for a decent HTML WYSIWYG editor?
> What browser are you accessing and from which you print.
I've tried many browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and others), but I think that the browser is irrelevant. The issue seems to be that the EE Print icon creates a garbled code block. Btw, printing the actual article page (rather than the page from the Print icon) doesn't work at all.
> The issue potentially deals with spacing, layout.
If so, is there any way to fix it?
> The point of the suggestions deals with reviewing the HTML code on the page that separates the content, question/answer article content from the rendering template......
That's probably why EE provides the Print icon.

Hi lenamtl,
> then the print CTRL-P work ok
Nope. It cuts off when printing. For example, the page looks fine when doing the Open in new window (has horizontal and vertical scroll bars), but when printing it, you get just some lines and some columns, not all...no scroll bars and the rest is cut off. Example:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/viewCodeSnippet.jsp?codeSnippetId=30-33943-1
That looks fine there...has scroll bars...but Ctrl+P produces this:
> You can use https://www.printfriendly.com/ to generate the PDF from this page.
I typically use a PDF print driver for that...have many installed...Adobe PDF, Bullzip, CutePDF, doPDF, and more.
> You can save the code using Select all link under the code box and copy/paste the content to notepad or copy to JSfiddle to save the snippets.
Yes, or I can copy/paste from the source code file on my PC.

We are working on the editor now, so I will get one of my guys to look into making the print version work better.
Potentially, the print does double duty on the included code.
I.e. instead of separating the included code and processing it separately,
the cascading Style Sheet still applies to the PRE..... which potentially deforms it in the printer view.

I've done most of my programming in recent years with AutoHotkey. In fact, I wrote a program in it that can download all the EE articles and video pages that are specified in a file list...a plain text file with their URLs. I can make those URLs the printer=true version. Btw, I published an article and two videos on that program:

Won't need to do that if I simply print the code to a PDF, then include that PDF in the overall PDF.

I don't like to use OCR when everything is already text.

That's great news and I really appreciate it! But it certainly begs the question of why the bug reports from two years ago and two months ago did not get any action.
Btw, to be clear, in terms of your "making the print version work better" comment, the print version works fine as is, imo, except for this one bug...the garbled code snippet. Regards, Joe

Okay, given all that, and the fact you already have an automated script to do the download, the simplest approach is probably just do a simple Fiddler hook to swap out the code block with one that doesn't get re-processed.
Should be a quick thing - give me one moment and I'll put up a file for you.

Also, if you're experienced at all with C#, you can extend my class to inject your own formatting if you want.
In any event, when Fiddler is running, it should act as the default system proxy. So IE and Chrome should both see the updated HTML automatically, along with any other HTTP client that obeys the default system proxy, which I -think- should include your own script that you were using to automate the download/printing.

A chrome extension could do that automatically when you load the page and you could just run it in developer mode to make it a quick on/off thing.
