I've never had success with printing like that from a browser. The thing that helped me most was using a different print css file which would help with the layout when printing.
The other thing I have done is run the finished HTML report programmatically through w3m (a text-mode browser which renders tables in text awesomely). If you do that, you can then count the lines and whatever, because it's just a text buffer. | [reply] |
Looks like this (CSS) is the direction I'm heading. Unfortunately (or not) it requires me to come up to speed on CSS which I've not had a particular need to do over the last few years. It looks like using something like this:
table {
page-break-after: auto
}
may offer some relief since most of my data is in tables anyway.
I hope to do it all inside my perl script. trying to make as simple to execute and implement as possible.
Thank you all, Gretchen
