There are quite a few format escape sequences in HL7. You may find it valuable to get your hands on a copy of the standard, and refer to chapter 2 (in the 2.3.1 standard chapter 2 section 10). Here you will find a detailed list of the possible escape sequences, and what they indicate.
Then you will face the challenge of how to render them in the environment you are dealing with, since there are highlight on/off, line break \.br\, column and tab setting and more.

I would like to use a template engine for that, but for a start couple of XSL-FOs that can generate PDFs would be great. I can then use something like Altova XmlSpy to play with the stylesheets to determine which fields I can omit and how the PDF visual layout looks like. If you have any transform examples or something I can play with, please let me know.

FWIW there are obviously a million ways you could try and handle this.. I participated in a project years ago where I helped write XSLT transforms from HL7 v2/XML to drive Apache FOP for generating PDFs. That quickly became an unmaintainable mess. If I had to try and solve that particular problem today, I'd probably use Thymeleaf<http://www.thymeleaf.org/> templates and define a custom tag that allowed me to insert terser expressions into the HTML templates. But that may well be overkill if you just have a single transform you wanted to write..
