How do I show my comments in this code?

How can I include comments and show all code when printing out posts?

  • I'm using the Firefox browser and trying to print out my posts (and replies). The PDF output doesn't include the comments in the posts. How to make sure that everything which is on the page gets printed? Same goes for codes for which are in a window. Only the visible part of the code gets printed. These are not programming questions :) but I hope that someone can suggest how to get proper printouts of the posts.

The PDF printer takes a "snapshot" of the whole viewport, it does not take benefit of the CSS print stylesheet to make all the code and comments to overflow and visible. This is rather a client side issue. You may peek around in your PDF print settings if there isn't an option to change the CSS used when printing to PDF. The only the stackexchange guys can do is to provide a link like "Download this question as PDF" and generate the whole PDF serverside the way as you would get with the CSS print style. As this is a pretty expensive job, I wouldn't expect much.
