[Zope-dev] Emailing html web pages: how can I render page as the anonymous user?

[Bjorn Stabell]

My favorite way is to support this is to create skins.  We have two
skins:

	printable
	emailable

that fixes the standard_html_* stuff, and can even be used to override
the content rendering at a deeper level, if needed (overriding
document_view etc).  We can use the same way to support WAP, Avantgo etc
also.  A printable version of a page is simply done by doing

	http://myurl/contenturl?portal_skin=3Dprintable

Pretty cool.  IMO, this is a better use of skins than to use it for
languages; languages are better managed by Localizer or ZBabel.
