It is hard to simplify it any further without knwoing what parts you
don't currently understand. What you want to do is pretty simple for
those of use who understand how Forrest pipelines work and how to
overrride those pipelines in a project sitemap. Unfortunately, you
have to climb that learning curve before it gets simple.
If you have no idea what the pipeline I posted into my earlier message
means then you need to start with developing a basic understanding of
how to customise Forrest [2].
Once you understand that you need to get to grips with the
SourceWritingTransformer. The full documentation for the transformer I
refer to is on the Cocoon website [1].
Finally you need to know how to override specifc transformations in
the Forrest sitemaps. However, your requirement above is quite general
and you need identify specific stages you want to write to disk before
we can give specific help.
BUT...
Many of the intermediate steps are allready available by requesting a
speific URL. For example, if you simply want a copy of the internal
intermediate format (XDoc) for all pages you can turn on the XML link
in skin-conf [3]:
<!-- The xml source link makes it possible to access the xml rendition
of the source frim the html page, and to have it generated statically.
This can be used to enable other sites and services to reuse the
xml format for their uses. Keep this disabled if you don't want other
sites to easily reuse your pages.-->
<disable-xml-link>false</disable-xml-link>
Now do "forrest run" and you have an xdoc representation of every file.
