This would be even worse when we have to create different xml depending on the wanted output. The problem here is in the xml->pdf/html step: I wanted to change the formatting of links in the pdf from "Section <number>" to "<section_name>" to make it the same as in the html. Thereby I noticed that the definition for this is in files from /etc/asciidoc/dblatex. So to change it we have to introduce our own files in ./Documentation and work on them to bring the formatting of user-manual.html and user-manual.pdf closer together.
