I don't know how kosher this is for online forums and whether there will be green-erds cringing, but how about adding a feature to be able to print a question/answer or even an entire discussion? Of course, over on Math.SX, LaTeX formatting is interpreted to present mathematics (via MathJax
) as graphics in order provide a nice graphic context. But we also upload our own images (LaTeX output of MWEs, and the like) and provide formatted inline LaTeX and code snippets.
A similar question over on Stack Overflow mentions StackPrinter
