I've added back the contributors list, moving it to the left column, under the menu. For and example, see: http://www.ninsky.com/struts/site/userGuide/preface.html Enabling the list is controlled by an 'authors' attribute at both project level, via the project.xml file, and for each document. project name=Struts User's Guide href=http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide; image=../images/struts.gif authors=true -and/or - document url=struts-html.html authors=true If a document level attribute is specified, it will override the project level attribute.

Re: XHTML Web site updates
I've installed Sun 1.4.2_01 but I'm still having trouble getting the site to render. I am in favor of rendering the site in valid XHTML, but we need it to work with what people will commonly have installed. If the site can't be rendered using the standard Java 1.2 or later advice, then I'll have to ask that the stylesheet changes be withdrawn. Also, I don't know if my pages are rendering correctly, but the ones I am seeing have a Lynx look and feel. I don't mind this personally, but I do feel that we need to either retain the original layout or migrate to Forrest or Maven. Something different is not what we are gong for right now. =:0) -Ted.

Anchors in the news pages were being specified using the date, but element names cannot start with a digit so I've just added the letter 'S' (for Struts) as a prefix. Contributors List - One side effect of merging the XSL stylesheets is that the contributors list is currently not written at the start of each chapter. (Some stylesheets had it, some didn't so I opted to remove it from the chapter section.) I wondered what the feeling was regarding whether it is neccessary to have that list at the top of each page. Personally, I think it gets in the way of reading the documentation but it wouldn't be too difficult to add back if that's what's wanted. Let me know what you think or if you find anything I missed.

The look and feel you end up with should be almost identical to the existing site.

RE: XHTML Web site updates
Thanks James, I'm about to commit an updated build-webbaps.xml file. It seems to solve my problem on 1.4.1_02. According to the Ant manual: reloadstylesheet - Controls whether the stylesheet transformer is created anew for every transform operation. If you set this to true, performance may suffer, but you may work around a bug in certain Xalan-J versions. Default is false. Since Ant 1.5.2. http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/style.html Setting this to true, appears to work and it's not much slower. Give it a whirl.

RE: XHTML Web site updates
Wow! This is odd. After running the build in -debug, there weren't any good clues as to the cause or where to start looking. I began to open up the offending xml files one by one and copy over the entire document with one that I knew had been transformed without issue. Then re-ran the build. After doing this, each time the build would go a little further down the list of source files to be transformed. I did this over and over for about 6 files, then decided to change my tactic, I began moving the files out of the project and re-running the build. Same results as before, I would get a little farther. Then, (and here's the really odd part) I decided to just re-run the build (without changing or moving anything).IT WORKED!!!
