# Show Full URLs With Print Styles
|
||||
|
||||
Web pages are best experienced in a browser where you can fully interact with
|
||||
them. Links, for instance, can be hovered, inspected, and clicked on to navigate
|
||||
to the target location -- that's a core part of the web browser experience and
|
||||
what makes the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
Some people have printers though and they want to be able to print off web
|
||||
pages. Any web page can be printed off as is, but if your site or app is
|
||||
anticipating certain pages being printed, then you may add some
|
||||
`@print`-specific CSS styling to improve how it looks in print format.
|
||||
|
||||
Links are a prime example of lost interactivity. When printed, links render as
|
||||
blue underlined text with no way to know what they are linking to. One trick
|
||||
that I recently picked up from [this lobste.rs thread](https://lobste.rs/s/olnqh2/websites_should_be_printable#c_wigxfy) is to
|
||||
add _after content_ that renders the actual, full URL next to the link.
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
@media print
|
||||
{
|
||||
a[href]::after
|
||||
{
|
||||
content: " [" attr(href) "]";
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This means that when a page has `<a href="https://still.visualmode.dev">still</a>`, the printed version will not
|
||||
just render the word "still", but will be styled to render `still [https://still.visualmode.dev]`.
|
||||
|
||||
This will add content after links for both absolute URLs and relative paths (and
|
||||
anchor tags). If I wanted to limit the after content to only show absolute URLs,
|
||||
I could add a bit more specificity to the matching tag.
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
@media print
|
||||
{
|
||||
a[href^="http"]::after
|
||||
{
|
||||
content: " [" attr(href) "]";
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `^=` matches the pattern of `http` on the start of the `href` string which
|
||||
means it will only display absolute URLs.
