David Crossley commented on FOR-1005:
-------------------------------------
Ross refers to our powerful "SourceTypeAction (content aware pipelines)"
http://forrest.apache.org/docs/dev/cap.html
This detects properties of the input sources and responds accordingly.
Two examples are org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.foaf which acts on
"document-element namespace" and
org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.simplifiedDocbook which acts on
"document-declaration public-id". There are other methods, and more could be
added.
If any Forrest developer would like to get involved with a task, then this
would be a great contribution. A good way to get familiar with the internals of
Forrest.
