Very nice, I like it. Let's not worry about matching the looks with
the stuff currently produced by Anakia. Confluence theme is nice and
clean.

With b2 impending, I thought I'd share the current state of the
docs. I've
retooled a lot... the attempt to use integrate with the anakia
templates wa=

a waste of time. The way it handles the TOC generation is a bit
limiting.
So, I've just combined a simple velocity template with a whole
bunch of
regexp loving to get to where we're at now. I'm sure a more elegant
solutio=

exists, but being as we have to get this thing done, and being as
any Apach=

mandates might change how we do this, I didn't want to go crazy :)
There were a lot of interesting issues, as we basically had to post-
process
the Confluence-rendered HTML to rewrite different types of links. The
attached docs still have an issue with cross-linking to other
documents (it
can link to child docs but not across the tree). There is also a cute
rendering bug in IE on the toc (border shows inside the bullets).
All quick
fixes, but I wanted to get what's done out there for comment.
I also put a little hack in to specify page ordering - within an
{excerpt}
on a page, you can specify the sort order you would like for
children. I've
already included this on the User Guide page. Confluence doesn't
honor it o=
f
course, but the static export does.
Also, I scrapped the existing doc template in favor of something more
consistent with the Confluence documentation format. It is all
velocity/css
styled though, so we can easily move back if anyone objects. Let me
know
what you guys think.
