Does changing the width to 50em generally, i.e. also for other paper formats like A4? Does anyone have a clue? Is there any reasonable width value?
Alternatively, we could generate the manual for printing without any width value, then it takes as much width as available. This should work fine when printing.
Any ideas?

I think the american "Letter Size" is the same as the german "DIN A4", so this should work properly without any problems.

No, it's not. It's nearly the same, but differs. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f6/A_size_illustration2_with...

I don't have a solution, but... ;-)
Ideally, we wouldn't set a fixed width but a maximum width. But I have no idea if it's possible to do that and have it work with most browsers. A maximum width would be nice because reading overly-long lines can be annoying. Maybe remove the fixed width, because at least you can reduce the window size if you don't like long lines.
While we're here, does anyone else prefer a bigger font size? Personally I'd like 100% instead of: font-size: 90%;
But I'm not a web developer, maybe it's some kind of convention ;-)

I don't think it's a convention more probably just a matter of taste. I personally like the 90% setting as it makes the manual look a little better because of the more tiny fonts. But I also know that not all people likes it, for example I'm pretty sure Frank would also prefer 100% (or even more ;-)). So, maybe we should increase it to 100% as it is the default in many cases and users who want it smaller can use the Zoom In/Out features of their browsers.
Any opinions?
