I am confused on getting data into xdocs content.
I've been testing some of my own hacks (manglings) for getting meta data into sections of xdoc xml content files(document 2.0 dtd)

This is simple with xslt files, jsp/servlets, php where aspects are easily split so one can set in say a language file the messages to output (Forrest has this but..) in various areas of the Content (xdocs/*.xml).

Am I missing something or is it in 0.8 ?
Maybe it is in teh all-talked about coat or views. Is 0.8 in MVC?

The only way I see is to customize both common document2html.xsl and skins document2html.xsl
(very messy:reusability rather sad)

class="fork" is being stripped by my editor and <link> not allowed.
tested a custom template for matching <a> to implement class fork but it kept being stripped. did a bunch of (starts-with...) to catch "http:" and if found, do <a href="[EMAIL PROTECTED] target="_blank"> just like "fork" with no luck either on like ten tries at template variations. Anyone have any ideas?

greatful for any insight,
