Landscape printing[edit | edit source]

To print a PDF page in landscape format, the following tag can be inserted in the wiki page in source editing mode at any position:

                <bs:ueparams template="BlueSpice_Landscape" />

            
To make it easier for the user to add this tag with the visual editor, this tag can be added to a wikitext-template, for example, {{LandscapeFormatExport}}. The element can be inserted anywhere on the page.

Note: This tag only works for the PDF single page export.

Within a wiki page, individual areas can be marked separately (e.g. wide tables). This way, the output in the export can be landscape or extra-wide. This is possible using the following css classes:

  • "bs-rotated" -> landscape format
  • "bs-narrow" -> 0,33 x A4 portrait
  • "bs-ultrawide" -> 2 x A4 landscape

These classes can also be combined. Example:

                <div class="bs-rotated bs-ultrawide">...</div>

            
The start and end div tags can also be added to templates (e.g., {{LandscapeStart}} and {{LandscapeEnd}}) to allow users to insert the tags using the visual editor.

Note: Display of header and footer areas could be problematic when using these tags.

These css classes also work for the book export.

Printing[edit | edit source]

MediaWiki, by default, provides a print view for the pages. This command is also availble from "Export" available in the Export menu (option "Print").
