I'll preface this with the fact I do not understand sitemaps and while I have been trying to wrap my head around it for two days, I have way too much other stuff going on to figure them out beyond the basic concept. In order to really make my pitch to my boss to use Forrest I need to be able to use WordPerfect docs with it. WordPerfect does publish to XML, but using the DocBook DTD, not Simplified DocBook.


First of all, have you tried just using the simplified-docbook plugin? It will recognise the DTD and use the available stylesheets. For a lrge number of docbook files this produces good results.

Yes, I did try the s-docbook plugin and I have s-docbook documents rendering fine with it, but I get nothing when I use a docbook DTD. I had peeked at the s-docbook plugin files and it *looked* like it would do what I wanted since input.xmap had the docbook DTDs and the xsl had book and chapter elements, so I tried that first but it didn't give me anything when I built the site. (The DTD itself and the book and chapter elements are the only things in these files that are not s-docbook.) If I change the DTD to simplified, change book to article and delete chapter elements, it renders fine. Any ideas on what to look at to figure out why s-docbook plugin isn't doing it for me?

I tried following the faq (http://forrest.apache.org/0.7/docs/faq.html#docbook) about using DocBook but I don't really get it all. I do have Norman Walsh's DocBook stylesheets and I put them into PROJECT_HOME\src\documentation\resources\stylesheets.

It fails at linkmap.html with a long bunch of treeprocessor stuff, and this BROKEN message: URI not found: Type 'xhtml' does not exist for 'map:serialize' at file: PROJECT_HOME/src/documentation/sitemap.xmap:9:34


You need to define the xhtml serializer used in <map:serialize type="xhtml"/> in the components section of the sitemap.

See http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/serializers/xhtml-serializer.html for the elements you need to add to define this component. You can see examples in the FORREST_HOME/main/webapp/sitemap.xmap

Excellent, thanks for that. Looks simple enough.
