Example of DocBook processing in Forrest
Could somebody be so kind and provide me with working example of Forrest
project where DocBook files are correctly processed ?
I read the text about DocBook in FAQ, but I am not able to get this working.
I believe that one working example would be great help for the Forrest
community.
Sincerely,
Martin

I have been running it under 0.8 for some time, but I did not know about
that new facility.

Done. It is FOR-908.

We have a special type of plugin to accommodate this kind of code. Any
contribution is welcome, regardless of how complete you feel it is,
there are always others who can enhance it.

Forrest 0.8-dev has a new config system which removes this restriction.
We can make your plugin require 0.8-dev and use this new system.

Again the new config system will probably help here.

Please attach the code to a new issue in Jira - thanks for your assistance.

I agree, will switch to 0.8-dev today.

May I suggest you switch to 0.8-dev and work with the new config system (see
my reply to Nigel).
0.8 is very stable and is safe to use in a production environment. The
benefits to you and the community are that this new plugin can be developed
to work "out-of-the-box".

Nigel,
if it is plugin and needs only the change in
main/webapp/WEB-INF/xconf/forrest-core.xconf I would like to try to get it
running in my Forrest.
Could you provide me with the code ?
Thank you,
Martin

Some time ago the list helped me develop a plugin which allows directory
browsing (from a specified root) which gives html and pdf links to files
which are likely to be docbook. It was suggested at the tim ethat I make it
available. We are now using this successfully in my group.
I am happy to make the code available but:
1. It's only at a prototype stage - but I am unlikely to find more
time to spend on it and I guess it could do with input from people
who are more aware of forrest style and approach.
2. It uses domestically modified docbook style sheets (though those
could easily be replaced by standard ones)
3. The root of the directory system is specified by a value in
forrest.properties (convenient) but this has to created by an
entry in main/webapp/WEB-INF/xconf/forrest-core.xconf (less
convenient when forrest is upgraded).
4. Other things should be parameterised (like which other files than
docbook it should give access to).
I am running it both as a service (under tomcat) and with jetty (for
document development).
As I say, it's a plugin. It's not up to distribution standard. If anybody
wants to take it forward, I'll make the code available to them.

These examples do work. You would need to provide more
info about what you have done.

We cannot provide a full "working example" in a seed site
because we do not include the "DocBook XSL" stylesheets
with Forrest.

See the simplifiedDocbook plugin, it has samples.
