You could also use an application server that understands and can process XSLT pipelines, like AxKit (http://www.axkit.org). I use this to render both a DocBook <book/> and DocBook <slides/> documents to both HTML and PDF. See http://oscon.nachbaur.com/2004/slides.xml. The HTML frames are all generated dynamically, and the PDF icon in the bottom-right of the screen is dynamically generated using FOP in an AxKit pipeline. - -- Michael A.
