I think, using stylesheet parameters, coupled with xsl:if or
xsl:choose is a good idea for this problem description.

Hi,

I'm currently writing my content in XML, while at the same time
writing XSLT to transform this content into a written manual. The
problem is that sometimes I just want to quickly print out part of my
document using XSL-FO to PDF.

For example, what if I just quickly want to build the table of
contents, of if I just want to get certain element types, sometimes
only the structure of my XML, sometimes just the images. Things like
that.

Currently I'm commenting out parts of the XSLT, but there must be a
better way. Should I split my XSLT into different libraries and
conditionally include them based on parameters, or should I try and
set variables throughout the doc using things such as
visible/invisible? is there a tried and tested way when working with
ever changing XML and XSLT while still creating and building the
content and transformations?

What I just had to do as an example, was to comment out my "body text"
templates and "list templates" and "image" templates" etc, just so I
could print out the document structure without any content. Am I being
stupid here?

Best,
Jacobus
