Printing HTML documents using columns vs n-col layout

[rressler]

Description

I am putting multiple plots or images in a row, rendering to HTML, and then printing the document.

With #| layout-ncol: 2, the plots show up fine in Chrome. However when printing, they lose the 2 column layout and appear one after the other.

With the column divs (below), they also show up fine when viewed in Chrome and when printed they retain their 2 column layout shown in the browser.

Is this the expected behavior for #| layout-ncol: 2?
Thanks,
Richard

CSS makes a distinction between screen layouts and print layouts (and our CSS is not optimized for printing). If you need the layout to be preserved, I think your best bet is to use PDF formats.
