Ok, I solved it by adding an own DTD for my project, which was a bit hard since there are several informations in the forrest docs which are hard to follow if you dont decide to read the whole docs.
Patches welcome and appreciated.
I took several informations from the location you gave and the mailing-list where I wonder in the end how this ever could have worked for anyone else (see http://www.mail-archive.com/user@forrest.apache.org/msg02344.html) since I had to change some small issues...
Don't keep it to yourself, share the info. Patches welcome - this is a community project.
To the other point: Why should Forrest not intended to be a web publishing framework???
The first line of our home page says "Apache Forrest is a publishing framework that transforms input from various sources into a unified presentation in one or more output formats."
Web is only one output format. It *can* be used as a web publishing framework, and many people do use it as such. However, that was not why it was created. If someone wants a web publication framework and does not intend to publish in any format there are other, arguably better, tools.
Your fist engagement with this project was to ask how to do something that only makes sense on the web and as a result you have already had to define a new DTD and XSL stylesheet. Why? Because Forrest is not a web publication framework, but a general purpose publication framework.
