Could somebody be so kind and provide me with working example of Forrest
project where DocBook files are correctly processed ?
Some time ago the list helped me develop a plugin which allows directory
browsing (from a specified root) which gives html and pdf links to files
which are likely to be docbook. It was suggested at the tim ethat I make
it available. We are now using this successfully in my group.
I am happy to make the code available but:
1. It's only at a prototype stage - but I am unlikely to find more
time to spend on it and I guess it could do with input from people
who are more aware of forrest style and approach.
2. It uses domestically modified docbook style sheets (though those
could easily be replaced by standard ones)
3. The root of the directory system is specified by a value in
forrest.properties (convenient) but this has to created by an
entry in main/webapp/WEB-INF/xconf/forrest-core.xconf (less
convenient when forrest is upgraded).
4. Other things should be parameterised (like which other files than
docbook it should give access to).
I am running it both as a service (under tomcat) and with jetty (for
document development).
As I say, it's a plugin. It's not up to distribution standard. If
anybody wants to take it forward, I'll make the code available to them.
