XSLT. Your basic problem is to format to print and web version. I don't see the core reason why this can't be possible with XSLT. You have troubles but they are mostly related to the fact that you want to operate as a preprocessor instead of symply relying on stylesheet customization, and/or markup extensions, but I may be missing the point. Of course if you're using PIs to do this markup, it's by essence unstructured and hence make it difficult to handle easilly at the XSLT level. Well simply use markup extension to do this. > > Can't you just sed the output in case of errors ? > > s/^processed/orgiginal/ > > of the stderr stream doesn't sound hard to setup ... > > Fine if I'm processing errors in batch mode, yes.
