Well, real nice of you to offer some help.
Let's think of one example; This snippets output one of the Textmate Bundle called "
http://ollieman.net/screenbundle/" straight to PrinceXml pdf.
Any chance you could replace the css so that it fits a correspondence letter, with letterhead, footer, etc ?
# first figure out a name for the result
NAME="${TM_FILENAME:-untitled}"
BASENAME="${NAME%.*}"
DST="/tmp/$BASENAME"
# everything we output within { … } is written to the HTML file via redirection (see line with the })
{
# first output HTML header
