Multiple outputs

The HTML documentation of Novelang is made of one huge HTML page. That’s inconvenient. In perfect world there would be a mean to split the document in several pages. Curious of how this could be done I found that Xalan 2.7.1 provides an extension which helps a lot doing this through the Redirect class. http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensionslib.html#redirect The syntax is clean: just wrap the XSL expression with a element. I think this extension is too much permissive, as you can specify absolute files. At least it’s a good starting point for rewriting a new one, where to give only logical names for files.
