Here's my initial understanding of the forrest convention. When you are in a single howto (possibly in a subdir), there are 2 applicable rules:
1. if there is only one howto, then the book.xml should only reference the howto index. forrest has an example of this at http://xml.apache.org/forrest/community/howto/cvs-ssh/howto-cvs-ssh.html. 2. if there are multiple howtos, then the book.xml should reference the howto index, and all the howtos at that level. forrest has an example of this at http://xml.apache.org/forrest/community/howto/xmlform/howto-xmlform.html If this is accurate, then you made the right decision. Since there is only one howto (tomcat), then the book.xml should only reference the howto index. I guess I was assuming that there'd be other howto's at the tomcat level... hence my inclusion of the tomcat.html link in the book.xml. But I think you made the right decision. No need to add multiple links until there are multiple howtos. thanks again. dave -----Original Message----- From: Vladimir R.

I'm not a Forrest guru, I just followed the Forrest website <http://xml.apache.org/forrest/community/howto/index.html>. I think the concept is that when you select a how-to, you don't see the references to the others. -Vladimir -- Vladimir R. Bossicard Apache Xindice - http://xml.apache.org/xindice
