Printer-Friendly Mode Returns to TidBITS
----------------------------------------

  Fans of the plain-vanilla method of displaying Web pages suitable
  for printing (or even simplified on-screen reading and PDF making)
  will be happy to know that we have restored our printer-friendly
  article formatting mode.

  As regular readers know, over the last two years, we've overhauled
  nearly every aspect of how TidBITS is written, edited, staged,
  published, and composed into email issues. Somewhere along the line,
  we stuck a to-do note on the virtual wall saying, "Remember to bring
  back printer-friendly articles." (See, for instance, "Designing a
  Modern Web Site for TidBITS," 2007-09-10.)

  At the top of every article you'll now see a Print link with a page
  icon next to it. Click that, and you're taken to a nearly color-free
  - to paraphrase Dr. Hibbert from _The Simpsons_, "Black is _not_ a
  color" - page in which the links are referenced by number and listed
  neatly at the bottom. Images are also removed. As an example, try
  viewing this article in printer-friendly mode.

  We hope we've saved a tree or two by restoring this mode for those
  who prefer to print articles from the Web.
