Tidy up documentation for print

[alikstimix]

Having a "print view layout" page separate from the "overview" page looks like overkill.

I recommend merging the first two paragraphs and the overlay section into the "overview" page, then deleting the "print view layout" page.

That would make printing different from the rest of the structure of the manual. I am not sure that is desirable.

Well I was going to come on to that! The idea of a common structure seems to have lapsed a bit, and some tidying up in each section could restore a common structure with general information at the top level, detailed information at the bottom.

Each of the 6 views has a top level with no text, just a bulleted list of sections starting with "overview" and ".. view layout"

The overview sections differ wildly in content:
Lighttable just has another bulleted list of shortcuts
Darkroom has nothing much in the overview
Tethering has a bulleted list of shortcuts
Maps describes how to use the maps view
Slideshow just has some boilerplate text
Print has some two sentences of basic howto then 2 paragraphs of technical discussion

The view layout sections do follow a standard format (apart from slideshow) listing all the modules that can be accessed, with a short description and a link to their page of detailed info

So taking your point onboard, it seems like the content of the overview section needs to be reallocated with a sentence of general description going upward, and the rest merging downward as a navigation section of the ..view_layout page

If the common structure is clear, then it should be easier to relocate some of the detailed material that is currently scattered across the patch.
