Support printing

Open magikmw opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Background

I've been using Notes for some work I'm often sharing with other people that don't necessarily care for Nextcloud and Markdown. I also tend to work on my Android tablet, which limits what I can do with files, including using something like pandoc to easly convert Markdown to .odf, .docx or PDF. To this end, I would like to have an easy ability to print a note, either using a native print to PDF 'printer' or just directly to a network connected printer via Android's API.

I am willing to put a bounty on this feature or pledge support if this feature is implemented. There is an app that does this in an unsatisfactory capacity (and is another app) that wants $15 for a yearly subscription, so I'd rather send it this project's way.

Scope

A minimum scope for this feature would be just direct printing of the Markdown file without rendering. Android API Guide - Printing.

Nice to haves:

  • Rendering Markdown before printing (or priting rendered from View mode)
  • Ability to print a portion of the file (i.e. by pre-selecting)
  • Ability to set page breaks (something Markdown implementations generally lack, so likely out of scope)
  • Ability to set headers and footers for printing (title, page numbers)
