Yes, just use the conversion technique from Matt. The problem I run into
with this is that you have to separately specify the graphics
information for each format inside the sgml source file; the Modular
Style Sheets don't know to provide default file extensions and formats
for the different output formats. I'd like to be able to say:

  <Graphic FileRef="connections"></Graphic>

and have that behave as though I had specified either

  <Graphic FileRef="connections.gif" Format="GIF"></Graphic>
or
  <Graphic FileRef="connections.eps" Format="EPS"></Graphic>

depending on what output format I am generating. Instead, afaik one must
test for whether you have a print or html document; this was suggested
to me recently:

<!-- output style -->
<!entity % ostyle.html "IGNORE">
<!entity % ostyle.print "IGNORE">
...
<![ %ostyle.html [
<Graphic FileRef="connections.gif" Format="GIF"></Graphic>
]]>
<![ %ostyle.print [
<Graphic FileRef="connections.eps" Format="EPS"></Graphic>
]]>
...

and then run jade with "-i ostyle.html" or "-i ostyle.print" on the
command line. Don't know if this is the best solution...
