Hello,
We are writing software that utilizes Forrest and generates a complete Forrest documentation project from some outside data. The only thing that is provided from outside our software is the menu structure and tabs (i.e. tabs.xml and site.xml) - they are provided by the user. However, we need to manipulate them to insert some predefined menu structure and tabs of our own.
For example, suppose the user provides a tabs.xml with custom tabs, the resulting tabs.xml after processing should also contain our tabs as well. The same for site.xml. Our dillema is: how should we perform the manipulation? Of course, we can simply process the file directly and change it (our copy of it, that is). But I was wondering if there is a way of defining/redefining a pipeline or something in the project.xmap that will so (perhaps create a custom Generator for the site.xml/tabs.xml that will embed our added data).
Has anyone done this before (changing the default pipeline of site.xml/tabs.xml) via the project's site map?
10x, Arik.
