changing the look of the online docs created using forrest
I like the look of the documentation here:
http://forrest.apache.org/docs/your-project.html.
However, when I generate my online docs with forrest, the Heading 1, Heading
2, etc, formatting is different. How do I get it to look like the Forrest
online docs.
Thanks,
Linda

Simply change the value of the project.skin property in your projects
forrest.properties file to the name of the skin you want to try.
There is a description of skins and an indication of their name on
http://forrest.apache.org/docs/skins.html
Once you have changed this property start forrest as normal, if
necessary Forrest will automatically download the desired skin.

I meant to indicate that I thought the following skins were installed
'by default' although I don't know if this is true:
- crust
- krysalis-site (deprecated)
- leather-dev (still in development, hence '-dev')
- pelt
- tigris

Should be:
(from the Forrest svn
forrest/trunk/forrestcore/src/core/fresh-site/forrest.properties[1])

Right, but that's cheating ;-) pelt is the default skin!

Actually if you have
#project.skin=pelt
#project.skin=leather-dev
you still got pelt as your default skin.

I was expecting to 'help' but 'm not sure I am helping here... Sorry...
I *think* the following are already in your default install of Forrest,
although this does not appear to be clearly explained.
(from my forrest.properties[1])
# Specifies name of Forrest skin to use
#project.skin=tigris
#project.skin=pelt
(from my personal forrest.properties--I don't recall how/where I got
the others, although they're all listed in
forrestcore/src/core/context/skins/)
# Specifies name of Forrest skin to use
#project.skin=tigris
#project.skin=crust
project.skin=pelt
#project.skin=leather-dev
# deprecated skin
#project.skin=krysalis-site
(NOTE: by removing the "#" in front of '#project.skin=pelt' I have
chosen 'pelt' as my skin)
Here are some 'tips':
If $FORREST_HOME is set, you should be able to determine the available
plugins by running /forrest available-plugins/ (without the "/" marks).
This will give you some ideas of where to look--you'll see some
'http://...' items in the output. Unfortunately, none of those items in
the output actually provide content (let alone a list of skins
available for download).
The "Skin Packages" page should help ('Documentation' tab => 'Skin
Packages') but it doesn't do anything other than describing them (i.e.,
no download links):
http://forrest.apache.org/docs/skin-package.html
Neither 'Skin Packages' nor "Default skins" appear to explain how (or
where) to download skins...
Hope this helps you a bit.

Excuse my ignorance, but where do I get different skins, like pelt? Or if I
see a site with a skin I like, can I download it?
Thanks,

Look at the differences between the skinconf.xml
obtained from a 'forrest seed site' and our one
at src/documentation/skinconf.xml
We are currently using
<headings type="underlined"/>
