When did we agreed on all that? I remember a thought of Nicola (actually one sentence in the log) but never have seen any discussion about it on this list. Actually I do *not* yet see that the plugin has turned to the next-gen forrest, nor that it should. > Why do you ask? > I see that the focus of this plugin is to wide. IMO we are trying to rewrite forrest with this plugin, but major parts *have to* change before we can do so. It does not seem practical to use e.g. the views we have now or the processing of (tab, menu, doc and site) and trying to rewrite the core. Copying things from one place to another to just make it work is not my understanding of a total rewrite of forrest. IMO the xhtml2 plugin should only focus in providing the intermediate format in xhtml2 and that's it. To integrate views into it *now* makes the whole thing to complicated and slows down the process. salu2 -- thorsten "Together we stand, divided we fall!" Hey you (Pink Floyd)
