Re: [xsl] Writing stylesheets for Web and PDF output?

Hi Dan,

I am working in a similar environment, except we use 2 different sets of 
stylesheets, but have many imported/included stylesheets shared across the IETM 
and PDF. Like you, we have a S1000D input to publish a MIL-STD-40051 output. As 
you know the 40051 output covers a number of different Technical Manuals (PDF 
output). We have over 15 Publication Modules which share over 1000 data 
modules. We use a "pipeline" approach like you do. We have been doing this for 
2 years with great success. Managing 2 sets of stylesheets for 2 completely 
different outputs is manageable. In fact, I prefer it this way. But trying to 
great a single set of stylesheets to output 2 completely different outputs 
(IETM or PDF) would be a nightmare to manage (IMO).

I have at least 3 environments that I need to keep consistent.
1) Arbortext editing environment
2) IETM output as HTML
3) 3rd party application that merges the data modules together into one XML 
file that is then processed to make the PDF. Originally designed to be a 
mil-spec manual output but typically now just used for review copies where 
the requirement is to make it more like the IETM output.
