So do you maintain two completely separate stylesheets, one
for html and one for pdf? I'm about to do something similar
and I can see issues where one has been updated without the
other. Is it simply the case when a change is required you
have to make the change twice?
There are two ways of structuring this to achieve reuse between the
two
transformations. One is to do a two-phase transformation in which the
first phase does all the work that is common. The other is to put all
the common code in a module that is imported into both the
stylesheets.
Sure, but that's very general and only fits certain circumstances.
For example if you have:
<xsl:template match="foo">
<span style="background:blue">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</span>
</xsl:template>
..in your html-producing stylesheet and a corresponding template in your
fo-producing stylesheet, what happens when its decided the background
should be red?
How can we arrange it so that change from blue to red is made in one
place rather than both stylesheets?
