I figured I didn't need to save the one as xml but I was just seeing if it made a difference. Does forrest recognize the new OOo format .odt as well?
Thanks for your patience. - Addi

Hello all,
I started testing out OOo files today and am having trouble with the menu links to them. I am just doing static generation right now with Forrest 0.6 on WinXP.
Here's my process:
- Create a directory called "formats" in ..\src\documentation\content\xdocs
-Create 2 files (one OOo .xml and one OOo .sxw) and save into formats folder
There is no need to creatre the XML file, Forrest does the conversions itself.
- Copy the samples\openoffice-writer.sxw file into formats folder
- Edit site.xml suchly:
<formats label="Formats" href="formats/" tab="formats">
<oo-docbook label="OOo DocBook" href="TestDBk.html" description="A OOo DocBook Test"/>
<oo-writer label="OOo Writer" href="openoffice-writer.html" description="A OOo Writer Test"/>
<oo-text label="OOo Text" href="TestOOo.html" description="A OOo Text Test" />
</formats>
- Edit tabs.xml suchly:
<tab id="formats" label="Formats" dir="formats" indexfile="Test-DBk.html">
<tab id="openofficetext" label="Open Office Text" dir="formats" indexfile="openoffice-writer.html"/>
<tab id="ootext" label="OOo Text" dir="formats" indexfile="Test-OOo.html"/>
</tab>
Run forrest
When I go to look at the site, here's what happens:
I click the Formats tab and I get the TestDbk.html file properly.
I click on the Menu item - OOo DocBook and I get an error stating that whole/path/to/TestDBk.html cannot be found.
The name of the file in tabs is Test-Dbk.html which is different from the one in site.xml (TestDbk.html). Since it works in tabs then I guess that is the reason site.xml doesn't.
Same happens for the Menu item - OOo Text (TestOOo.html).
You do not mention a TestOOo.* file. What do you have and where is it?
