# OER Attribution & Print

## OER Attribution

 OER Attribution

A statement that identifies the author, title, and license of an openly licensed work. Creative Commons recommends the **TASL** format[1](#fn:1): Title, Author, Source (URL), License. Helios Open Reader displays this in the footer when the OER Attribution Block is enabled.

The OER attribution block displays a CC license statement in the footer of every page, drawn from the reader home page frontmatter. Enable it via **Admin → Pages → Reader Home → OER Attribution tab → Show OER Attribution Block**.

The relevant frontmatter fields in `section-list.md`:

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `license` | `CC BY 4.0` |
| `license_url` | `https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/` |
| `attribution_text` | `This work by Jane Smith is licensed under CC BY 4.0.` |

The `attribution_text` field supports basic HTML for links and formatting.[2](#fn:2)

## Print Output

The plugin includes a print stylesheet (`print.css`) with:

- Navigation chrome hidden (sidebar, header, prev/next)
- Colors reset for both light and dark themes
- Page breaks controlled at heading boundaries
- Absolute link URLs displayed inline after each link
- Consistent page margins across browsers

Use your browser's **Print** function (or **Save as PDF**) to produce a clean, readable PDF of any reader page.

 Tip

For individual sections, print each section page or sub-page separately. There is no single-click "export all" function, but browser print-to-PDF works well for individual pages.
