Hi - I'm interested in having a table of information appear in two separate pages (rather than having links to the information in both pages), and I'd like to only have to maintain the information in one place. Is there a way to have the contents of an external file "compiled" into two or more xdoc files?

Have you read the documentation on views? http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_80/howto/howto-view-dsl.html IIUC, all you need to do is put some of the content (like your quicklinks and news items on the old site) within another <forrest:hook> in the view file for the front page (most likely it should be named index.fv) and thats it! Just in case you didn't know, you can specify per file as well as per directory view configs. So, each page can have a different layout, all pages in the same directory can have a different layout and so on! The naming convention is that for a file named foo.xml, Forrest will look for foo.fv, and then default.fv in the directory containing foo.xml, and then the project wide default.fv and then finally the default.fv that ships with views.
