[Qgis-user] documentation v 3.10 - PDF ?

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all,
from my side, not producing PDFs by default has also an environmental
meaning: in my experience, PDFs "invite" users to print, whereas HTML
pushes towards screen reading. I have seen too many times hundred of
pages printed, to be quickly browsed here and there only once, and
becoming obsolete very soon.
Exactly what do you find impractical about reading from HTML? Perhaps we
can improve the readability, format, etc.
Cheers.
