Juan, as you can see in this thread, Brolin has explained that you can use xi:include and Thorsten has mentioned some other techniques. There is another option: Use "ASCII Art" to automatically generate an image from text. Add a file xdocs/text.aart Add an image link to your xdoc source: Text: It would only be suitable for small snippets of text, but this technique might be useful in some circumstances. -David
Re: Show text file with Forrest
It got it working. See comments at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-1032 The main changes were to use an xml entity to declare the xmlns:xi attribute in the DTD and to use the "cocoon:" protocol for the xi:include href. There are some other changes, so see FOR-1032. -David

Are you using Java 6? Forrest is not compatible with it (I can remember there is an issue but jira is down ATM). Please try with 1.5.
