When I print an MO thread (using Chrome, at least), the font size is extremely small (8pt? nested indices are very hard to read, at least). Since I don't think this is easily fixable on the user side (at least not without MathJax getting all messed up), could we have a "printer-friendly" option or an export to PDF? (Of course, a script that would transform markup to LaTeX would be gold standard, but I'm not asking that much.)

$\begingroup$ Thank you! That's a very useful service. (Considering my question answered, unless anyone wants to build a PDF exporter...) $\endgroup$– darij grinbergCommented Jul 18, 2013 at 15:55

$\begingroup$ I use Unix/Linux command `import' to make a jpeg of the screen. Before that, I use control+ to enlarge the piece i want. The main downside is the limited amount of material per jpeg. Good for quick documentation in any case. $\endgroup$– Will JagyCommented Jul 18, 2013 at 20:04

$\begingroup$ Nested indices are usually hard to read, and often deter me from making sense of a question. Better typesetting would get more answers! $\endgroup$– user44143Commented Apr 10, 2019 at 0:19

As mentioned in the comments StackPrinter is often useful for such purposes.
This tool is very frequently mentioned in several other posts on this topic, sometimes various other tools are mentioned too:
- Printing out Stack Overflow/Exchange Q&As including comments? on Meta Stack Exchange
- Save the answer in PDF? on Mathematics Meta
- There are some bookmarklets created by the user NormalHuman, see: Save the answer in TEX? or Save the answer in TeX/PDF - revisioned. As mentioned in those posts, some of the links stopped working at some point in the past (so you might save the bookmarklet if you want to use them). Here is a link which seems to be working at the moment Save a question and answers as LaTeX (github). (I will just mention that there are some other bookmarklets created by the same user that might be useful for people using Stack Exchange sites. You can find source code also on github.)

1$\begingroup$ The question was basically answered in the comments. (Although I have mentioned some other solution. Basically, I repeated the same advice I have previously given in chat.) I suppose that many users might ask about this, so it's probably better to have at least some answer - not just comments. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 9, 2019 at 6:09
