You have been told that this is bad advice already. Having such a link
involves another navigation step for proper printing, it does not generally
generate the same content that is currently being viewed, and it creates a
hardly maintainable mess in the PHP code. DO NOT do this, use stylesheets
instead.
And will you *please* trim your quotes?
