I'm reworking my citation stylesheets to be more dependent on
variables. I have it now working quite nicely with one piece of the
problem: the bibliographic list. It's all handled in variables apart
from the main document, such that printing it is as simple as:
<div id="bibliography">
<xsl:copy-of select="$formatted-biblist"/>
</div>
.... and writing out the raw modsCollection is as easy as:
<xsl:if test="$biboutfile">
<xsl:result-document href="{$biboutfile}">
<xsl:copy-of select="$raw-biblist"/>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:if>
My question is, what might be a good way to approach an output driver
system?
So, my current code is oriented towards xhtml output. But I want to be
able to write simple simple output drivers for other formats that just
takes the content in the formatted-biblist variable (which is just
xhtml) and transforms it (into, for example, TeX or WordML).
So, if I have a stylesheet for my document that output TeX code, I want
to be able to include/import my stylesheet -- I guess with an output
format parameter? -- and have it return the bibliography and citations
for the correct output format.
How should I approach that?
