How do I output or generate a Single page with Forrest?


You don't, but you can start 'forrest' at that page.
http://forrest.apache.org/faq.html#single-document

Perhaps you are thinking of the new plugin in
the whiteboard for 0.8-dev called
org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.DevTools
It is a whiteboard plugin.

It enables a page to be saved from 'forrest run'.


Great!

If you use this be *very* careful, it is a very early stage development. It does not guarantee a completely built site, it only saves the page you are viewing. This is fine if the skin, site.xml and tabs.xml remain unchanged (i.e. only the body has changed), but if any of those files have changed you will need to do a full forrest site.

This is a really important new feature and we really need help developing it.


Also, is there a list of command line parameters/variablees you can
apply to Forrest? (e.g., -Dskip.contentcheck=yes)?


I gather that any property can be used like that.
But one would need to be sure of the effect. I think
that there is something in the documentation about
using command-line properties. Use google.

I had an epiphany, and realized that the 'any property' you're referring to are those in the forrest.properties file. And that answers my question. I didn't realize those properties were available to be called from the command line.

Not just forrest.properties, but Cocoon specific properties and Java properties too.
