I think this is what was meant by the scare quotes?

lol they weren't meant to be scare quotes, it was meant to communicate that using the "print" function may not be used for the purpose of putting ink (or toner) to paper

To me, that means print-to-PDF, and it'd be easier for me to understand by calling it that. If there's other "print" functions, we could list them as examples too. It'd give me something concrete to think about when reading this.

Can you go into a little more detail about what this PR actually accomplishes? |
|
It improves the readability of the document for visitors wishing to generate paged media. It's an accessibility improvement. |
|
I get that, but the question was how do these styles and the moved around DOM nodes help the readability? |

I got a little nerd sniped on Mastodon by a conversation about accessibility and print styles. Browsers mostly don't implement the CSS paged media module, and the web version of typical ecmarkup output doesn't use the oldtoc class, so I needed to add just a few little things to make the site printable for web visitors.
Important
I fully admit I appended some print-related event listeners to a javascript file (sdoMap.js) that I didn't otherwise spend the time to totally understand. I'm trusting the baseline knowledge of reviewers for this repo to tell me if that can/should go somewhere else.
