printing possibility - txtPrint

[barbedCoil]

I have used this in the past with Notetab light to print all types of formats - essentially it looks like Notetab light would send txtPrint the name of the file to print:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/txtprint/

Is there some plugin already in existence or command that would enable to call out to this external tool to print?

I just started using Sublime about 3 days ago so forgive the lack of knowledge

Not having printing is a major issue for me - I did not realize the editor would NOT have printing - never gave it a thought as it is such a simple thing

Any comments or ideas would be great

agibsonw and I have been throwing together a plugin to do just this (amongst other things).

Download zip at https://github.com/facelessuser/PrintHtml (mine is not the default branch; mine is a fork of agibsonw 's, but mine automatically pops up the print dialog in the web brower; agibsonw hasn't pulled it in yet).

Make sure the plugin is in Packages/PrintHtml (in the zip file it will be named something else)

Put this in Packages/User/Default.sublime-commands. I picked a theme with a white background for printing.

Code: Select all

    {
        "caption": "Print: Print in Broswer",
        "command": "print_html",
        "args": {"numbers": true, "browser_print": true, "color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Mac Classic.tmTheme"}
    },

It is fairly configurable, and it is currently under heavy development, so things might change. But this will allow you to execute the "Print: Print in Browser" command from the command palette. It will convert your view into an HTML file and open it in your default HTML application (it should be a web browser). And it will popup your browsers print dialog.

Looks like there is also this plugin as well https://github.com/svenax/SublimePrint, so there are options.

Very cool! I used to write Python code so I have been looking at the plugin API to see what's involved - I will give it a try - thanks!

I saw this but could not make it work - I will re-visit - thanks

Couldn't remember how to spell your name and I was too lazy to look it up...gibson. That makes much more sense than bigsnow. Now corrected.
