282 | | -<H3>Future extensions</H3> |
283 | | -<p>The following is a short list of where we expect to see additional |
284 | | -work concerning printing. |
285 | | - |
286 | | -<ul> |
287 | | - |
288 | | -<li>Multi-column Properties. |
289 | | - |
290 | | -<li>Additional Page Properties. Documents might contain multiple |
291 | | -sections, each with a different page orientation, headers/footers, |
292 | | -etc. How elements span pages should be better controlled with |
293 | | -widow/orphan control and keep together type properties. Additional |
294 | | -formatting properties such as vertical page alignment and font |
295 | | -kerning. |
296 | | - |
297 | | -<li>Media Dependent Elements. It would be much easier for many users |
298 | | -if a separate style sheet did not have to be maintained for each |
299 | | -possible output medium. This would also support inline styles. Can |
300 | | -they be merged so that a media property is associated with each |
301 | | -element or style sheet property? What about properties that apply to |
302 | | -more than one element? How do the various media cascade? |
303 | | - |
304 | | -<li>Collections of Pages. The author may define a set of pages that |
305 | | -may be logically printed together, e.g., a catalog or a chapter of a |
306 | | -book. How does a user discover that the author has provided this? Is |
307 | | -there a uniform UI that is presented? Can collections contain other |
308 | | -collections? To what level? Are page relationships defined from a |
309 | | -table of contents type of page or on each page itself? What if a page |
310 | | -belongs to more than one collection? How can print collections be |
311 | | -reconciled with other planned site navigation tools? Do collections |
312 | | -have other uses besides printing, e.g., off line reading? |
313 | | - |
314 | | - |
315 | | -<li>Headers and Footers. How can those provided by the page author be |
316 | | -reconciled with those desired by the user? What about site wide |
317 | | -headers and footers, logos, and watermarks? Should all information be |
318 | | -propagated even when redundant? Are headers a type of decoration or |
319 | | -style? Is it proper to have headers and footers appear in style |
320 | | -sheets? What if they have content in addition to format, e.g., a |
321 | | -company confidential message as well as page number location? Is there |
322 | | -a collection heading that has priority if the page is printed as part |
323 | | -of an author defined set? |
324 | | - |
325 | | -<li>Footnotes. How are footnotes specified within a page? Should we |
326 | | -have a separate method for those at the end of a page as well as those |
327 | | -at the end of a section? Can the user elect to have end of page |
328 | | -footnotes printed at the end of the section anyway? How are footnotes |
329 | | -presented on screen? As a pop-up? Can links to other HTML pages |
330 | | -automatically be treated as footnotes? |
331 | | - |
332 | | -<li>Environment Dependent Styles. Can the UA environment automatically |
333 | | -pick an appropriate style? If a high resolution color screen is used, |
334 | | -can it retrieve different images than a low resolution monochrome |
335 | | -screen? Should high resolution printers retrieve a higher resolution |
336 | | -image for printing? What if more than one printer is available? How |
337 | | -does the UA describe the highest quality available for the various |
338 | | -printers? Can certain display devices be paginated, thus presenting |
339 | | -headers, footers, etc. |
340 | | - |
341 | | -<li>Finishing Properties. These are the properties associated with a |
342 | | -page to be printed that are required to meet the author's or user's |
343 | | -printing requirements - rendering options, stapling or binding, |
344 | | -impositions, delivery, accounting, media type or grade, form name, |
345 | | -number of copies, etc. Especially useful in third party printing, |
346 | | -shared printers, and intranet print shops. How are these attached to a |
347 | | -document to be printed? Can portions be overridden? What about the |
348 | | -security of the accounting information. Can they be divided into |
349 | | -author and user fields, supplied at different points? |
350 | | -</ul> |
