Is it possible to render more than one destination page from the same source page? That is, same source, slightly different presentation at the other end, needing a different output file.

I have two problems that would be solved by being able to do this.

[[!toc startlevel=2]]

##"full" and "print" versions of a page.

One has a page "foo", which is rendered into foo.html. One also wants a foo-print.html page, which uses "page-print.tmpl" rather than "page.tmpl" as its template.

I want to do this for every page on the site, automatically, so it isn't feasible to do it by hand.

##"en" and "en-us" versions of a page.

My site is in non-US English. However, I want US-English people to find my site when they search for it when they use US spelling on certain search terms (such as "optimise" versus "optimize"). This requires a (crude) US-English version of the site where the spellings are changed automatically, and the LANG is "en-us" rather than "en". (No, don't tell me to use keywords; Google ignores keywords and has for a number of years).

So I want the page "foo" to render to "foo.en.html" and "foo.en-us.html" where the content is the same, just some automated word-substitution applied before foo.en-us.html is written. And do this for every page on the site.

I can't do this with the "po" plugin, as it considers "en-us" not to be a valid language. And the "po" plugin is probably overkill for what I want anyway.

But I'm not sure how to achieve the result I need.
