Q: Issue with printing ... _print 404

[laszewsk]

I thought I have done everything i need to use the new theme. However it turns out that my printing does not work. I configured my toml file with the options in the documentation (e.g. the default). Yet when I print any page I get an error that I do not know how to fix

Here is an example of a page I like to print: https://cybertraining-dsc.github.io/report/su21-reu-361/project/

When I click on print I get 404 page not found and I get this link: https://cybertraining-dsc.github.io/report/_print/

My toml file is at https://github.com/cybertraining-dsc/cybertraining-dsc.github.io/blob/main/config.toml

The way I create the site is with recursive submodules: https://github.com/cybertraining-dsc/cybertraining-dsc.github.io#clone

I also increase on macOS the limits with https://github.com/cybertraining-dsc/cybertraining-dsc.github.io#osx

Version of go and hugo are go: 1.16.5 darwin/amd64 hugo: v.083.1+extended

I hope I just did some silly mistake somewhere in the toml file.

@laszewsk I think this is the same problem as https://github.com/google/docsy/issues/421#issuecomment-763670038 - Github pages don't appear to support the underscore in the URL

works! thanks.

would it not be best if this is added by default to the default toml and do not _print but printpreview

[outputFormats]
[outputFormats.PRINT]
baseName = "index"
isHTML = true
mediaType = "text/html"
path = "printview"
permalinkable = false

@gwatts do you want to add this workaround to https://www.docsy.dev/docs/adding-content/print/ - I agree that _print works well as a default for a lot of sites because it's unlikely to clash with anything (eg docs about printing) but we should add a note saying that you might want to change the name if you're using Github Pages.

Or should we change the default?

yeah i wonder if a dash instead of an underscore would work better.. /-print perhaps.. will give it a try if I can find a few minutes - Been super busy with work lately unfortunately
