  <title>Projects as Printouts</title>

  <p>
    A project-like element outside of any worksheet or handout may still carry <c>workspace</c>, on itself or on its tasks.
    When it does, HTML output gives it the same print preview icon a worksheet gets, and previewing it lays out just that project across pages with the workspace expanded to fill them.
    In PDF such a project is typeset as an ordinary block, with no extra room.
  </p>

  <p>
    The third project below has no <c>workspace</c> anywhere, so it gets no icon.
