What do you mean by "edit styles"?


I really need a
docbook2document.xsl in the longer term. I understand that there used to be
one

No there never was one, but we do have a FAQ on the subject see http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/faq.html#docbook

By the way, forrest
did not handle the sdocbook conversion until I moved
'sdocbook2document.xsl' to:
\site\src\documentation\resources\stylesheets\sdocbook2document.xsl

This is very strange, you should only need to add the sdocbook plugin to forrest.properties and it will work, it does for me at least.

Can you please explain what you did to make sdocbook work?

I suggest waiting until you understand a bit more before trying to write

documentation for others.

Yes, you are right, but sometimes a bit of naivety can uncover some of the
assumptions that us mere footsloggers get stuck on.

Yes, I'd recomend keeping a log of the big potholes our documentation leaves then, when you understand how to fill them you can contribute to our docs in a very valuable way.

Of course, we will work with you to ensure that your ideas are the best way to solve the problems you find.

After several days of
struggle since starting from scratch, with very little to show for it, I was
very close to giving the exercise up as being beyond my grasp. But now, I'm
very happy with a usable result that I can fine-tune.

We encourage all users to ask questions on list rather than struggle in silence. The newbie questions help us understand where our docs are unclear and our applicatio is non-intuitive.
