Pretty-printing playlists (teaser) - 19/07/2002 12:55
I've got a stylesheet written that is suited to providing a summary of the player's contents in a very compact form (primarily aimed at passengers who would prefer to browse hardcopy rather than view playlists on the front panel).
As it relies on jEmplode version 42 which isn't out yet, I'm not going to post it now, but I thought I'd summarise the features as a teaser.

- Playlists containing many tunes are printed in summary form, printing only a count of tunes. What constitutes "many" is configurable.
- Tunes or playlists may be excluded by adding a "print" tag. Handy if you have stuff you wouldn't admit to owning
- Text size is configurable - this is especially useful for making a booklet - print at twice the size, then scale it down to make a tiny booklet.
- It supports multi-column output.
