"only in print" template for images requires a matching "hide in print" template

[Michael Kennard]

I'm trying to use the "only in print" template for an image but the
image does not appear in the PDF. I created a simple book on Wikipedia
that demonstrates this <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Unjedai/
Books/Hide_in_print_test2>

If I also include a "hide in print" template using the same image,
then the "only in print" template starts working and the image appears
in the PDF. Of course, the image also appears in the browser due to
the "hide in print" template and that's no good. Here's another simple
book on Wikipedia that demonstrates this <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

The "Only in print" template only works for text (check [1]). The
problem is that the image is not fetched and therefore can not be
included in the PDF. My Mediawiki templating skills aren't sufficient to
fix the problem. I imagine that the solution might be to not completely
exclude the content in the wiki, but to set the css property display:none.

Currently the Mediawiki API call that lists all images for an article
probably omits the image in question. This might be fixed by the css
workaround.

This method worked a few weeks ago, even with the images.  I formatted an entire book (PDF) like this.  It may have stopped working after an update or something similar.
