As far as I have read in documentation I have found, no tool offers support for - for example - the CSS-tag "position: absolute", which I heavily use. But I came to the conclusion, that html can not do, what I want. If someone can and wants to give me a hint: I'm looking for a file-format, that I can automatically create, that I can use to output print-, browser- and other-viewable pages, that can be converted to pdf, so that I can sign this pdf and send it via E-Mail. Html at first glance seemed for me as a hot candidate. But as far as I know html it is not good for printing several pages with "nice" headers, footers, page numbers etc. Currently we try to do it with LaTeX. If we had time I know we should use something like XML+XMS... (hmm, that yields to OT...)
