Description From 2004-10-17 15:05:16 
Future enhancement for the helpviewer is to allow the user to print, export to
pdf, or independent html file. 

The user may wish to print/export a single widget document or several, or all
widget documents.

we will not be addressing the issue of a pdf convertion process through an FO:
translation. 

The xslt translation to html is moving forward nicely.... but to address the
print option for the help viewer. The issue is that it is not the easiest to
print a specific frame in a browser. It is different from browser to browser.
Here are a couple options.

1) have a print button in the help viewer, that only prints the middle frame.
2) Print Preview popup window that shows the current document only.

I am sure there are many other options. Bill what is your thoughts on this? 

Assigned to bill. :)

Using javascript it is possible to force a certain frame to print.  So in my
opinion the print button is the easiest to implement and probably the most user
friendly.
