Hi!

We are currently working on a module that uses XLST to transform XML to  
HTML and PDF. Since we want to minimize the time used to maintain the  
XSLTs, we are hoping there is a way of just using one XSLT for the actual  
output, and maybe some routine to create PDF from the output created by  
the XLST, for example one XSLT that creates HTML from the XML, and another  
XLST that creates XSL-FO from that HTML. I know this is possible, but is  
this considered a good solution?

Another issue we are dealing with are CSS. In the HTML output we use CSS,  
is there a way of using the CSS information when creating XSL-FO output?  
Or must the formatting be hardcoded in the XSLT creating the XSL-FO?

Is there anything else we should take a look at?

Summary:
1. Is HTML->XSL-FO a good solution if we want to minimize maintainance of  
our XSLTs? (Just maintain one...)
2. Is it possible to use CSS information when creating the XSL-FO to  
define fonts etc?
3. Any other solution to create HTML and PDF from XML without too much  
maintainance?

Help appreciated! :)
