David Crossley commented on FOR-1172:
-------------------------------------

This is how it works ...

When Cocoon generates the site, it crawls each document and gathers any new 
links to be processed. There is a special URI "linkmap" which is the map of the 
complete site.

This is utilised to have a special sitemap match "linkmap.validation-start.xml" 
which transforms the linkmap to have links ending in "*.validation.xml".

Cocoon has the ability to include extra URIs for processing. Add the line 
"linkmap.validation-start.xml" to a conf/uris.txt file. Then add the following 
line to the 'forrest.properties' configuration file:
project.urifile=${project.home}/src/documentation/conf/uris.txt

This causes Cocoon to generate all the "*.validation.xml" validation report 
files.

After the 'forrest site' completes, Ant summarises all those reports into 
build/tmp/validation-reports.html and then removes all the individual reports.
