I disagree.
I wrote the mechanism in scales so it will not simply hide the menu
entry in the page but not put it in there in the first place unless the
page is the current page.
Check out
http://www.bildungsverein.de/dozentinnen/auto_dozentinnen_uebersicht.html
then the navigate to the first entry
http://www.bildungsverein.de/dozentinnen/auto_Nagy-Abd-El-Malek.html
Retrieve http://www.bildungsverein.de/linkmap.html and you will see
another link to the "hidden" page. This page appears in all Forrest
generated sites, it is what Forrest uses to as a list of pages that
need to be generated according to site.xml.
David's approach prevents the page being listed in linkmap.html.
There is another (theoretical) approach that does not require editing
of the cli config. I'll not detail it here, but if Patrick can't use
the cli config method for any reason I'd be happy to expand.
