I have a situation where I need to write stylesheets that will be
used to produce HTML output as well as generate FO to create PDF documents.
I'm wondering if anyone has come up with techniques that allow you to
easily manage the commonality between these environments while
allowing the generation of the unique requirements in formatting for each?
Things are pretty easy to deal with when one element in the source
maps to an output structure in either FO or HTML. Where is gets
difficult to manage is when you do some special processing to the
content that is then wrapped with the output requirements. Now I want
to share that processing and make sure it stays in synch between the
two formats.
So beyond the following, is there anything else to help make this
process manageable?
1) Create a stylesheet for HTML output.
2) Create a stylesheet for PDF/FO output.
3) Create the special content processing in a 3rd stylesheet in such
a way that it can be included in the other two. Basically write these
templates like they are functions that return a single value to be wrapped.
