Can't believe paged media isn't really supported yet. Trying to do anything like line numbers for legal documents or page numbers is an absolute nightmare.

- laundermaf 4y agoPage media has been supported for decades. Line numbers aren’t strictly related to page media. It’s hard to complain about the lack of in-depth support for a media that isn’t meant to display “the web”. I do agree that it could be better. They have been adding print-related features though, at least I remember some in CSS3. CSS Colors Level 4 includes cmyk functions.
- encryptluks2 4y agoI don't think "it isn't meant" is accurate anymore. The browser has become meant for all things including document creation and styling. The @page counter feature although documented isn't supported by any browser from what I can tell at this point.
- wruza 4y agoHave you tried to page a grid? Also, who decides what is web and what isn’t? Is printing barcodes on pre-delineated paper “web”? Feels like we’re stuck in a “yes, it meant to be a universal platform” / “no, it meant to be a document viewer” loop.
