Thanks Anca!
One detail, I see no commits on https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-15761
Did you commit without referencing the jira issue? (didn’t check).
Just checked and it’s weird since the jira ref is there: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/19d4f104f5f0da385d3871b3f8e92...
Maybe we have a bug in the jira/github linking…
Thanks -Vincent
Maybe you could fix it by commenting in the jira issue with a link to the commit?
Thanks -Vincent

Hello Vincent,
done, I attached the same page exported with the previous export, for comparison.

Hi Anca,
Thanks for working on this.
I wanted to quickly check it out so I went to the jira issue. What would have been nice would have been to have two 2 PDF exports (one before and one after), or simply 2 screenshots. Just to see visually what the changes you made are looking like. But if you don’t have the time for this, don’t worry, we can work with the text/PR. However, if you had some screenshots, it could go in the Release notes to show the improvements to the user.
Thanks -Vincent
