Re: Site documentation format choosing

I was only listing the differences/limitations of the document format itself. Whatever tools you use around it (maven, velocity) can be applied to any other document format as well.

Hi

The list of meta data that you give below is partly addressed in different
sections of the pom.

Once they are in the pom, they also get processed by the standard Maven
report plugin and so appear in various web pages created by that plugin.

Also, by using velocity (.apt.vm) you can include the values of the variable
from the pom file in the text of the pages generated from the .apt files.

Just to clear, APT is limited, but you have to look at it holistically, and
think about what the other Maven tools can do also.

turn it also lacks in flexibility and misses advanced functionality, eg

(from the 
top of my head):


- no advanced formatting and layout (eg tables)

Wrong, tables are easily possible.

Of course, I said *advanced* formatting and layout, tables was just an

example, 
with apt you cannot specify eg arbitrary column widths, cell padding/spacing,

frames/borders, multicolumns, tables within tables,...


- no meta-information

What do you mean? You can include date, author and document title.

what about: author coordinates (address, email,...), subject, keywords,
description, generator, robots, copyright, language, confidential, draft,
creationDate, modifyDate,...

You can always include those as comments of course but it won't be recognized

by 
the parser.
