Re: [xsl fo] xsl to a minimum / statements 'on the fly

I want to put most in xml so I only need 1 xsl file per output medium (e.g. pdf, html) but per output medium only 1 xsl file is able to generate x different 'reports'.

disadvantage: For different reportstyles of same data I need different xml files.

Check out Cocoon, which is, among other things, designed to
provide pipelines for chaining several transformations. You
can easily have two or more transformation stages, like
  data-> add style -> output formatting -> result
