There are only a few changes between document-v13 and
document-v20 so you could manually edit them to change
<link> to <a> etc. and change the document type declarations.
See http://forrest.apache.org/dtdx/document-v20.html#changes-20

Hope that helps.

It helps immensely. Thanks for the help! I'll report back my findings...

Responding to my post...

Here's the feedback I promised. I was able to get it working but I had to do the following:
- had to retain document-v10.dtd files
- had to skip processing faq.html page (need to manually update to document-v13 or document-v20) - had to replace <code> with [code-FIXME] since it's not in document- v10.dtd
- had to pepper a couple of other '-FIXME' items (faq.html, etc.)

PROBLEMS
==========
1. Unfortunately it appears document-v13 files were *not* generated in build/site.xml (it looks like it merely passed the document- v10.xml versions across). It'd be great to get v13 files, so I can move forward with better compatibility.

2. I get an error that 'images/splash.png' not found, although 'images/logo.gif' is found (and both files are in the same path: src/ documentation/content/xdocs/images/).

3. I don't have navigation down the left. Here's a snipped of my site.xml file:
