This is one way, where the common code is a "library" xslt which the other
two stylesheets "import".
You could also consider a different ("pipelined") arrangement, where the
common code produces an intermediate document (perhaps in HTML?), and this
is then processed further by the other stylesheets.
----> XML-to-fancy-HTML.xsl ---> "fancy"
HTML document.
/
XML ---> XML-to-plain-HTML.xsl
\
----> XML-to-FO.xsl -----------> FO document
Cheers Hans! Good luck!
