how to change print margin

[Andrew Lister]

I'd like to have a big right-hand margin of blank space when I print. I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this, and perhaps I even used to know how...  some CSS in a tiddler tagged "$:/tags/Stylesheet"?

If this is already in the documentation that comes with TW, I apologize, but I didn't see it. If it isn't, I promise to write it up.

Try adding a printMargin tiddler tagged with $:/tags/Stylesheet.

add the following text:

@media print {
    @page {
        margin-right: 4.0cm;
    }
}

change margin: 4.0cm to your preference.

Set the type to: text/css

Save and print something

Thank you that worked. One more question - the font is changing size when the print margin changes (shrinking when the margin is bigger). Is there a way to stop that happening?

Maybe it's simpler if I say what I'm trying to accomplish. I print out a portion of my TW to use as lecture notes, and I like to have space to annotate these notes on the right hand side. On the computer screen I want the tiddler to cover the whole screen (depending if I have the sidebar displayed or toggled off), but when printing I only want it to cover part of the page.
