I have a Text >> Plain text, but in my browers I can't find a way to print that entire continuous page. When I choose to print, I only get the first part, the size of half an A4 format. The rest doesn't.
The problem seems only to occur with Xerte and not with other websites.
Is there a solution for that?

on your page where you want to print the scrolling content add &display=1024,1800 to the url to force the height to show all the content without scroll bars then try printing again. Change the 1800 to be whatever height displays your inner content without scroll bars. You can also add &hide=bottom to the url to hide the footer if you don't want that printed or indeed &hide=both to hide both the header and footer.

Tnx Ron.

The url of the website is vo-leshulp.nl/xerte/play.php?template_id=116#page16

I tried the display in two different places in the url, but in both cases I can't print more than just the short first bit.

vo-leshulp.nl/xerte/play.php?template_id=116#page16&dislay=1800
vo-leshulp.nl/xerte/play.php?template_id...&display=1800#page16

Do you see the problem?

You need both width and height separated by a comma as in my example and it seems 1800 wasn’t enough for your very long scrolling page so try vo-leshulp.nl/xerte/play.php?template_id...lay=1024,2400#page16

BTW the #pagenumber or #custompageid does need to go at the end so the display parameters go before those.

Ron, tnx.

Sometimes it's a bit difficult because the length of the pages can vary quite a bit. The variable for the length must therefore be known per page. Not really something for the different users to do.
I'll see how I can use this, especially for the users.
