[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Proposal: Server Managed Print Templates

[Benjamin Kalish]

As someone who knows almost nothing about the implementation, but uses the
software, I just want to say how much I like flexibility and ease of use of
the current system that lets me use HTML, CSS, and javascript in the
templates. The fact that these basic web development skills are just what I
need for templates, and that I can include code to manipulate strings or do
calculations in the templates, is great. I hope that whatever
implementation we use, it continues to offer this power and level of
familiarity.
