You were right - Open Office forum was the first place to ask this
question. So.. if anyone else wants to use Forrest's indirect linking
in sxw file then:
1) uncheck File System / Internet in "Load / Save" Options (General)
2) use Hyperlink from Insert Menu and choose "Document". In field
'path' there is a place for e.g. "site:todo".
After that, Forrest will transform links in sxw files according to
information from site.xml.

Fixed set of styles in openoffice-writer.sxw from Forrest 0.6 is
enough to me. I don't want to use my own, home-made styles.

I thought that there is some externalize-string (i18n) way to solve
problem with foreign laungages. After using "Forrest Warning" style in
my polish documents (in Open Office) and Krysalis skin, I will have
'Warning' inscription in generated sites. I want to change this
'Warning' to polish equivalent - that's all. So... is there really no
way to do it? Maybe I should write my own skin? Sorry for lame
questions - it's my second night with Forrest.
Thansks for help!
Best regards.

I'll try, but until now all this 'transformation' and cocoon stuff is
kind of black magic to me :)

This shouldn't be difficult. You only have to add another transformation
step which uses the i18n transformer. But this needs an enhancement of
Forrest in general. Probably I have some time next week to look deeper
in this issue.
If you could provide a patch I'll happily committ it <hint/> ;-)

Thanks for asking OO forum - this also bugged me some time ago.

The stylesheet could procude <i18n>-tags that could be transleted in a
following transformation step. But IIUC this is could be a general
solution. Maybe Forrest already supports this. WDOT?
