[nycbug-talk] using css for printed materals

[George Georgalis]

Goal, develop documentation model that will easily port to SGML.
Requirements, standard technical report type formatting, outline type
formatting, with lots of tables.

Sounds like standard html (table header, and column identifiers on top
of each table). But there is a catch, the documents will be printed
and on each printed page should appear the table header and column
labels. Is there a css (media=print) tag that will put Table header and
col identifiers on each page, like below?  Any templates for this?
