Double-sided printing - Githubissues

bertfrees commented 9 years ago

Provide features related to double-sided printing such as:

[x] alternate printed lines on left- and right-hand pages when line spacing > 1
[x] inserting hard page breaks that jump to the next right- or left-hand page
[x] different page layout of left- and right-hand pages
etc.

For simplicity we will just assume for now that a document is printed double-sided, as is the case in plain CSS (see http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-page/#duplex-printing). The distinction between left and right pages will be made regardless of whether or not the document is actually printed double-sided.

So if double-sided printing is not desirable, CSS features that have a notion of left and right should be avoided, and the resulting PEF needs to be modified (i.e. set the duplex attribute to "false").

This approach should work as long as we don't want to change from simplex to duplex or the other way around within the same document.
