Configuring Printing Template

A Print template is a layout which specifies what and how a metadata information will be printed. The printing template for printing an entry can be freely configured using CSS and Handlebars. This file should be located in the "print/" sub-directory and the file must be named 'print-template.html'. An example of print template is given below.
