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can't be rendered using the standard "Java 1.2 or later" advice, then I'll have to ask that the stylesheet changes be withdrawn.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)

What JDK are you running on? I did experience a similar intermittent problem with Sun 1.4.2_01 (on W2K) but _02 runs with no problems.

I'm fine with all this generally, and was going to post the update, but I'm having trouble getting it to transform. Several arbitrary files are coming back
: Fatal Error! java.lang.NullPointerException Cause: java.lang.NullPointerException Failed to process C:\projects\Apache\jakarta\jakarta-struts\doc\resources\projects.xml
I'll try it again tonight with a clean checkout, but wanted to bring this up in case anyone experienced similar problems.

We now have an XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant, CSS based tableless
layout web
site with only one XSL stylesheet to worry about (plus the
taglib) and no
need for a separate "printer friendly" version of the User Guide.
I've added a validation task to the build file to ensure that the
generated
documents stay valid over time ;-) and to save having to validate each
page
manually.
Anchors ------- One thing to watch out for when you're updating documents - I've begun replacing anchors with element ids. So this:
<p><a name="test"></a>Some text</p>
becomes <p id="test">Some text</p>
It's still linked in exactly the same way -- myPage.html#test -- but you need to make sure that you use a valid element id. 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.
