The root problem is that i would like to specialize styles for PDF vs HTML
rendering. In particular a font size that is good for HTML, is many times
not good for the PDF rendering.
What i would really like to have is the ability to specialize styles for
different rendering targets. So the default font size for an element may be
specified as "small". Unless specialized, i would like the font to be
"small" for all rendering targets. But if the font turns out to be too
large for PDF, i would like to have the ability to specialize the value of
the font size to "x small" for PDF renderings.
Now i know that is not currently an option, so I'm looking for a workaround.
Is it possible during rendering time onRender() to query the current
rendering target, so i can dynamically modify styles?
Any other ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I just realized that a highlight rule for an element would be a good
workaround. Though i still have the problem of where to query the current
rendering output format?
If there is a standard means of querying this?
Maybe some attribute of the report or config objects? Some other ROM
attribute?
In the worst case i can set a parameter from the environment that specifies
the intended output format, but i would prefer to use some standard BIRT
object property if available.
Thanks.
