Indeed Mark's solution is more elegant than mine if you want to use the
same view as both html or pdf depending on a switch.
My solution creates two independend views with the same arguments, one
of them produces always html, and the other pdf. I wanted it that way
since these two views are aesthetically different.
Depending on your design, choose the one most comfortable.
