Hey there Anthony =)

In your opinion, can you tell me why you would want a printable version of the docs?

I understand the need to print them out. I like to read stuff like that on paper.
I used IE to print out the tutorials.
Just click on the link for the tutorials items and say open in a new window.
This will get rid of the TOC on the left of the documentation.
Then just print. I usually print preview to make sure everything looks good.

I prefer tactile documentation from time to time as well. I haven't tried to print the new TGB docs yet, but when I do need to print such docs, I'll usually either try to prent them from a word processor that can render HTML adequatly, or I'll use a PDF creator to transport to a more printer-friendly format.

@Travis - I've done the same in the past (only with Firefox). I just navigate to the .html file in the content directory of the documentation, double click, and then print.

I don't do this for all the docs, just for sections I want to read in the car or on a plane.

Hey late reply sorry. I'd like a fully plain html version aswell that could be printable this is easier if you are trying to learn somthing without switching between windows. This is also easier if you say have a computer that is running slow or maybe your rendering somthing and which to read up. its all about having access to docs when you need them. Personally i dont carry a laptop with me constantly but somtimes need to read somthing to get the ideas flowing. Thats my 2 cents, personally not having it in printable format is strange surley if i've paid the license fee i should be able to use the documentation on the go without having to put it in a word processor ect
