The print template is generally a simplified version of the site template.
It does not contain the components supporting on-line, interactive access to the site, and provides the essential HTML content in a structure and format suitable for print media.
The print template must contain a $$TOC$PRINT$$ immediately before the $$CONTENT$$ substitution directive. This generates a table-of content suitable for a full-site print at the beginning of the document.
Content sections can use $$NOPRINT$$ on the first line to suppress printing. With the parameter "+" (i.e. $$NOPRINT$+$$) subordinate sections are also not printed.
These elements can be seen in the one used by the Vdub (this) site:
