you need an appropriate cross-media publishing tool. I know that tasks like
 yours get quite straight-forward with a tool calles Schematext
 (http://www.schema.de). But be prepared to invest in the US-$ 5,000 to 10,000
 range before you can work this way.

Sorry, I know no comparable product, if there should be one: You create
 electronic documents according to object-oriented principles. Every node type
 ("class") and every link type get specific properties and these properties can
 be defined independently for every output format. E.g., you can define how the
 hot word of a link is to be designed. And you can define which link types are
 to be used for linearization of your hypertext web. The "Productions" feature
 even allows to define different subsets of or specific rules for your
 electronic document.


Greetings from Germany,
Alexander
