About a month ago, I committed to LDP CVS some XSL stylesheets that
duplicate the formatting found in ldp.dsl. You can find them in CVS or
through the web at:
http://cvsview.linuxdoc.org/index.cgi/builder/xsl/
To build a *single-page* HTML file, call 'ldp-html.xsl'. To build a
set of linked HTML pages, call 'ldp-html-chunk.xsl'.[1] Both of those
in turn call 'ldp-html-common.xsl', which does the meat of the processing.
There is also a 'ldp-print.xsl' there as well, but it is just a placeholder
for whenever I (or someone else) gets time to play around with FOP or
PassiveTex enough to write the appropriate XSLT.
By the way, to use them, you will need to modify the pathnames in
ldp-html.xsl and ldp-html-chunk.xsl to point to wherever you have installed
Norm's XSL stylesheets.
I use a variation of these stylesheets all the time with xsltproc and
it works fantastically.

[1]. The reason there are multiple files instead of just a single stylesheet
like ldp.dsl is due to a change in the way multiple files are generated.
With SGML/DSSSL, the separation into multiple files was a function of the
processor (i.e. jade/openjade). With XML/XSLT, it is a function of the
*stylesheets* and therefore you need to call a different stylesheet if you are
generating multiple files (called "chunking" in XML/XSLT lingo) or generating
a single page.
