Content generated via CSS or HTML elements does not change color when the text does, when printed.

The example page is white text on black background on-screen.  When printed, it becomes black text on white.  Under the 4th header, "Letters", you'll note several characters marked with DEL tag (struck-thru and semi-transparent), and one with INS tag (underlined).  

On screen, the DEL text, with strike-thru, is gray (semi-transparent white over black).  The INS underlining is white.

Printed, the DEL text is gray (semi-transparent black over white) but the strike-thru is gone (still white, semi-transparent over white).  The INS underlining is also gone (still white).

Similarly, list markers become virtually invisible when printed.  This is noticeable a few sections later, in "A Lesson for Children" and "Alphabet poem".

These effects can be seen even in print preview.
