change to title?

[Rodent of Unusual Size <Ke...@Golux.Com>]

i haven't run forrest for a few days.  last time i did, my
files all validated.  now this fails:

  <title><link href="foo">title-text</link></title>

because 'link' is not in (strong|em|code|sub|sup).

is this a recent change?  or validation now being done
correctly?  either road, i'd like to either be able to
have links in titles, or know the reason why not.. :-)

Yes, until just before 0.2 was released, validation was only being done
in the xdocs/ directory, not subdirs.

Docbook allows it.. perhaps Forrest should as well.

I think we need a file listing all proposed DTD changes, so they don't
get forgotten.

For now, you could just disable validation of the file, with the
forrest.validate.xdocs.excludes property, as described at
http://xml.apache.org/forrest/validation.html

And while you're at it, **please** consider adding <br /> to <title>. 
And don't flame me. I know some may abuse it, but this is a common need 
in print-publishing (to add manual, readable breaks to certain types of 
titles/subheads). I'd want to use it -- judiciously -- for pdf files and 
a limited amount in html files.
