Print of WCAG 3.0 does not contain all texts #314

Open jpdigital opened 3 years ago

jpdigital commented 3 years ago

When printing the current version of WCAG 3.0, all information in closed details elements is not included in the print. From my perspective, that is a usability problem. I suspect that there still many people to like to print out complex documents like the WCAG for reading. Therefore, please either ensure that a printed version of the WCAG 3.0 includes all information, or provide an alternative printable version. This includes the description of the outcomes the how-twos. The current presentation is good for online-reading, but can't be printed.

Question to editors: from what I can tell, our options are 1) to add some script that opens the details element on print, e.g., https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19646684/force-open-the-details-summary-tag-for-print-in-chrome, or 2) to produce a print-oriented version, in HTML or EPub or PDF or whatever. Option 1 wouldn't work for users without script support but otherwise is a cleaner experience. OTOH, we probably want a print-oriented version anyways. Preferences?
