    Abstract
    --------

       XHTML-Print is member of the family of XHTML languages defined by
       the Modularization of XHTML [XHTMLMOD]. It is designed to be
       appropriate for printing from mobile devices to low-cost printers
       that might not have a full-page buffer and that generally print
       from top-to-bottom and left-to-right with the paper in a portrait
       orientation. XHTML-Print is also targeted at printing in
       environments where it is not feasible or desirable to install a
       printer-specific driver and where some variability in the
       formatting of the output is acceptable.

    Status of This Document
    -----------------------

       This section describes the status of this document at the time of
       its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A
       list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this
       technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index
       at http://www.w3.org/TR/.

       All sections of this document are normative unless noted as
       informative.

       This document contains the XHTML™-Print W3C Recommendation of 20
       September 2006, which has incorporated the disposition of Proposed
       Recommendation feedback .

       This document has been reviewed by W3C Members, by software
       developers, and by other W3C groups and interested parties, and is
       endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. It is a stable
       document and may be used as reference material or cited from
       another document. W3C's role in making the Recommendation is to
       draw attention to the specification and to promote its widespread
       deployment. This enhances the functionality and interoperability
       of the Web.

       This document incorporates minor suggestions made during the
       XHTML-Print Proposed Recommendation of 31 January 2006 and also
       removes any requirement for CSS support; please see the public
       disposition of comments for details. Evidence of interoperability
       between two implementations of this specification is documented in
       the Implementation Report.

       This document has been produced by the W3C HTML Working Group
       (Members only) as part of the W3C HTML Activity. The goals of the
       HTML Working Group are discussed in the HTML Working Group charter.

       This document was produced by a group operating under the 24
       January 2002 CPP as amended by the W3C Patent Policy Transition
       Procedure. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures
       made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page
       also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual
       who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes
       contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in
       accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.

       Please report errors in this document to www-html-editor@w3.org
