Hello all at Forrest, this might be a crazy idea... is Forrest easiy sriptable ?
I've used Forrest for 2 or 3 documents I've written (and I love it). Know I'm involved in a project that will need to automatically, periodically, send pdf documents as e-mail attaches to system administrators. Why not Forrest for the doc generation ? Can I easilly embedd forrest inside shell scripts ? Just gessing: 1) I would generate XML automatically; 2) I would generate png images automatically; 3) then I would invoque forrest; 4) then I would remove the pdf file from the 'site' sub-dir and send it by e-mail.... Can anyone comment on this ? Is Forrest the tool I'm searching for ? or are there other tools (bessides Forrest) that are more adequate ? Size is not a problem. Thanks all. jmf
