+<div align="right">
+<a href="#encoding-menu">^</a>
+</div>
+<div style="margin-left: 15px">
+<p>Yes, Forrest can process text in any language, so you can include:</p>
+<ul>
+
+<li>accents: á é í ó ú</li>
+
+<li>diereses: ä ë ï ö ü</li>
+
+<li>tildes: ã ñ Ä© õ Å©</li>
+
+</ul>
+<p>This is because sources for Forrest docs are xml documents, which can include any of
+ these, provided the encoding declared by the xml doc matches the actual encoding used in
+ the file. For example if you declare the default encoding:</p>
+<pre class="code"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?></pre>
+<p>but the file content is actually using ISO-8859-1 then you will receive validation
+ errors, especially if you include some non-ASCII characters.</p>
+<p> This situation is commonly encountered when you edit the templates created by
+ <span class="codefrag">forrest seed</span> with your favorite (probably localized) editor without paying
+ attention to the encoding, or when you create a new file and simply copy the headers from
+ another file. </p>
+<p>Although UTF-8 is an encoding well-suited for most languages, it is not usually the
+ default in popular editors or systems. In UNIX-like systems, most popular editors can
+ handle different encodings to write the file in disk. With some editors the encoding of
+ the file is preserved, while with others the default is used regardless of the original
+ encoding. In most cases the encoding used to write files can be controlled by setting the
+ environment variable <span class="codefrag">LANG</span> to an appropriate value, for instance: </p>
+<pre class="code">[localhost]$ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8</pre>
+<p>Of course the <em>appropriate</em> way to set the encoding depends on the editor/OS, but
+ ultimately relys on the user preferences. So you can use the encoding you prefer, as long
+ as the <span class="codefrag">encoding</span> attribute of the xml declaration matches the actual encoding
+ of the file. This means that if you are not willing to abandon ISO-8859-1 you can always
+ use the following declaration instead:</p>
+<pre class="code"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?></pre>
+<p>Another option is to use "character entities" such as <span class="codefrag">&ouml;</span>
+ (ö) or the numeric form <span class="codefrag">&#246;</span> (ö). </p>
+<p>Another related issue is that your webserver needs to send http headers with the matching
+ charset definitions to the html page. </p>

+<p>First consider whether your needs would be better met by Cocoon itself, rather than
+ Forrest. </p>
+<p>That said, there are valid reasons for wanting programmatically generated content, so
+ here is how to enable XSP:</p>
+<ol>
+
+<li>Download <a href="http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/cocoon-2.1/lib/optional/jdtcore-2.1.0.jar?rev=1.1&content-type=application/java">jdtcore-2.1.0.jar</a>, and copy it to the $FORREST_HOME/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib
+ directory (or lib/core/ directory in the source distribution).</li>
+
+<li>
+
+<p> Add the following generator definition in the map:generators section of your <a href="../docs_0_80/project-sitemap.html">project sitemap</a>
+
+</p>
+
+<pre class="code">
+ <map:generator name="serverpages"
+ pool-grow="2" pool-max="32" pool-min="4"
+ src="org.apache.cocoon.generation.ServerPagesGenerator"/></pre>
+
+</li>
+
+<li>
+
+<p>Decide how you want to use XSP. For single files, you could just define a *.xml
+ matcher:</p>
+
+<pre class="code">
+<map:match pattern="dynamic.xml">
+ <map:generate src="content/xdocs/dynamic.xsp" type="serverpages"/>
+ ...
+ <map:serialize type="xml"/>
+</map:match></pre>
+
+<p>You may instead wish to override forrest.xmap to define a general mapping for
+ XSPs.</p>

+<div style="margin-left: 15px">
+<p>Breadcrumbs begin with up to three URLs specified in <span class="codefrag">skinconf.xml</span>. Here is

+ <link2 name="xml.apache" href="http://xml.apache.org/"/>
+ <link3 name="" href=""/>
+ </trail></pre>
+<p>If any links are blank, they are not used. After these first links, JavaScript looks at
+ the URL for the current page and makes a link for each directory after the domain. If you
+ are viewing the site locally, there is no domain and so there will be no extra
+ breadcrumbs, only the ones that are specified in <span class="codefrag">skinconf.xml</span>. </p>

+<div style="margin-left: 15px">
+<p> One <span class="codefrag">site.xml</span> file in your project root can replace all the book.xml files (one per
+ directory) in your site. Internally, Forrest uses <span class="codefrag">site.xml</span> to dynamically generate book.xml
+ files. However, Forrest first checks for the existence of a book.xml file, so
+ backwards-compatibility is preserved. If a directory has a book.xml file, the book.xml
+ will be used to generate the menu. This supplement is useful in situations where
+ <span class="codefrag">site.xml</span>-generated menus aren't appropriate. See <a href="../docs_0_80/linking.html">Menus and

+<a name="N103EA"></a><a name="docbook"></a>
+<h4 class="faq">5.2. How do I use DocBook as the xml documentation format? </h4>
+<div align="right">
+<a href="#docbook-menu">^</a>
+</div>
+<div style="margin-left: 15px">
+<p> There are two ways. Forrest has a <span class="codefrag">simplifiedDocbook</span> plugin which can
+ transform the DocBook format into the Forrest "xdocs" format on-the-fly and then render
+ that as normal Forrest documents. Be aware that the stylesheet that does this
+ transformation is deliberately very limited and does not attempt to deal with all DocBook
+ elements. </p>
+<p> The other way is to use the full DocBook stylesheets directly. The DocBook DTDs are
+ shipped with Forrest and automatically handled. However, you will need to have the DocBook
+ stylesheets on your system (they are too massive to ship with Forrest) and configure
+ Forrest accordingly. You will need to create a <a href="../docs_0_80/project-sitemap.html">project
+ sitemap</a> as explained in <a href="../docs_0_80/your-project.html">Using Forrest</a> and
+ add matches to handle your DocBook documents. Here is an example. Note that you need to
+ change it to suit your situation. The match must be very specific so that only the DocBook
+ documents are matched. The rest of the documents will be handled by Forrest core. Powerful
+ regex capabilities are available. </p>
+<pre class="code"><?xml version="1.0"?>
+<map:sitemap xmlns:map="http://apache.org/cocoon/sitemap/1.0">
+ <map:pipelines>

+ <map:serialize type="xhtml"/>
+ </map:match>
+ </map:pipeline>
+ </map:pipelines>
+</map:sitemap></pre>
+<p>You need to define the xhtml serializer used in <map:serialize type="xhtml"/>
+ in the components section of the sitemap. See the
+ <a href="http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/serializers/xhtml-serializer.html">Cocoon
+ docs</a> for the elements you need to add to define this component. You can see examples
+ of other components being added in the <span class="codefrag">FORREST_HOME/main/webapp/sitemap.xmap</span> file.</p>
+<p> You can also use a mixture of the two methods, some handled automatically by Forrest and
+ some directly using DocBook stylesheets. You can also have a mixture of source files as
+ "document-v*" DTD and DocBook. </p>
+<p> Ensure that the document type declaration in your xml instance is well specified. Use a
+ public identifier. The DTD will then be properly resolved by Forrest. If you need to use
+ different DTDs, then see <a href="../docs_0_80/your-project.html#new_dtd">Using Forrest</a> for
