XSL-FO is the solution for managing print outputs. The vanilla Apache
XSL-FO processor can do the transformation, built into Oxygen or available
in eXist-db, Base-X, etc.

Or use Antenna House or Render X XEP extended XSL-FO solutions.

Before I start this I'm looking for confirmation this is possible in xslt.
I have a request to produce an instructors version of a training guide as
well as student version. Both will have a wide gutter on the left side when
produced. The instructor guide will have instructor notes in this area. I
will be pulling multiple paras into the gutter area, but not filling the
space.
Is it feasible to try this in xslt?
If feasible, can I make sure the page breaks are the same in the
instructor and student versions? They want to make sure they can reference
page 32 and make sure everyone is looking at the same page.
I'll be producing this from DITA markup.
I suggested outputting to indesign, but they don't want to add more
software so this would be a straight to pdf transformation.
