Exporting a Note to PDF Does Not Apply userstyle.css

[dpoulton-github]

As raised in the forum

Environment

Joplin version: 1.0.178
Platform: Windows 10 (1909) x64
Platform: Linux (Mint 19.3) x64

Steps To Reproduce

1. Place a custom userstyle.css with specific settings for print output into the relevant joplin-desktop folder.
2. Select a note.
3. Right-click the note and export as PDF (unable to check using the main menu export option due to bug #2322)
4. Open PDF - Note presented in PDF format but NOT formatted as per any settings in userstyle.css

Describe what you expected to happen:

The note styles should be modified by userstyle.css and this should be reflected in the PDF output.

Note: Prior to an upgrade from 1.0.175 to 1.0.178 the custom stylesheet used when discovering this issue worked and had not been modified since.

Thanks @dpoulton-github -- can you supply a minimal example of print css that fails?

[dpoulton-github]

This is an extract from my userstyle.css

@media print {
	blockquote {
        border-left: 4px solid #000000; /* black quote border for printing */
        opacity: 1; /* darkens text from default of .7 for printing */
	}

	code {
        font-size: 12px;
        color: #000000;
        font-weight: bold; /* bold code text for printing */
	}

	.inline-code {
        font-size: 12px;
        color: #000000;
        border: 0px none; /* removes inline code border for printing */
        background: none; /* removes inline code background  for printing */
        font-weight: bold; /* bold code text for printing */
	}
}

@mic704b
Thanks for confirming.
As a contributor would it be possible for you to label this as a "bug"?
Wouldn't want this issue to get missed.

@laurent22 this was tested a while back. Is it possible that this has anything to do with the new renderer?

[laurent22]

Yes, this or the Electron update

For what it's worth...

Not working for me either. v1.0.178 (prod, win32) Windows 10.

PDF does not have expected page breaks.

This is my note:

# H1

## H2
- test
- test2

## H2
- test3
- test4

# H1

## H2
- test5

This is my userstyle.css:

@media print, (overflow-block: paged) or (overflow-block: optional-paged)
{
  /* Move top-level headings to a new page on the right-hand side: */
  h1
  {
    page-break-before: right; /* CSS 2 */
    break-before: recto;      /* CSS 3+, 
      also works for languages written and paginated right-to-left */
  }
  /* Override the previous ruleset for the very first heading: */
  h1:first-of-type,
  section > h1:first-child
  {
    page-break-before: avoid; /* CSS 2 */
    break-before: avoid;      /* CSS 3+ */
  }
  /* Force second-level headings to begin in a new column or
     possiblyon a new page if it was in the last of multiple columns otherwise: */
  h2
  {
    break-before: column;
  }
  /* Headings should not be the last paragraph on a page: */
  h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6
  {
    page-break-after: avoid;
  }
  /* Consecutive headings with deepening level should not be split across pages: */
  h1+h2, h2+h3, h3+h4, h4+h5, h5+h6
  {
    page-break-before: avoid;
  }
}

@razlupercio see #2322

[tessus]

@mic704b #2322 fixes empty pdf files when exporting. This issue is about export not honoring the userstyle.css.
