XHTML to PDF ( was Re: RTF and PDF )

[thebertj at felixstowe dot rms dot slb dot com (Jerome Thebert)]

I was wondering if someone already thought of creating an XSL
stylesheet to render XHTML pages to PDF.

 From XHTML, you could have a web version and a print version.
That would be very nice.

Regards,
Jerome.
