BafS/Gutenberg
Gutenberg
Gutenberg is a CSS print formatting framework and web-to-PDF layout engine. It provides a system for managing stylesheets, element visibility, and structural layout rules to ensure web content maintains a consistent visual structure when converted to physical documents or PDF files.
The project manages print-specific rendering through a stylesheet manager that filters out non-essential interface elements and prevents the automatic expansion of URLs. It includes utilities to enforce the rendering of background colors and images, which browsers typically strip during the printing process.
The framework covers layout optimization through page-break property mapping and the application of formatting constraints aligned with standard physical page dimensions. These capabilities allow for the control of forced page breaks and the prevention of content splitting across printed sheets.
