whole site pdf missing?
Team
The default site.xml contains this:
<all>
<whole_site_html href="site.html" label="Whole Site HTML" />
<whole_site_html href="site.pdf" label="Whole Site PDF" />
</all>
and this page: http://forrest.apache.org/docs/your-project.html says this: "Note: Forrest's default sitemap defines a whole-site HTML and PDF, available as site.html and site.pdf."
and this page: http://forrest.apache.org/howto/howto-pdf-tab.html says this: "By default Forrest generates a pdf file for each separate document of your project. As well you can create a pdf of the whole site. But sometimes it may be necessary to generate a pdf file out of selected tab, i.e. only for certain parts of the site."
Now, I want to start investigating creating pdfs "only for certain parts of the site", and I guess the lengthy link above will guide me through this. But from the above comments I would have expected to see a site.pdf, containing the whole site, but I don't.
Why can't I see site.pdf? and am I safe to follow the instructions in the link above to create pdfs from multiple pages, or is there more to it...

It should say that site.pdf is the only aggregate page available to be
generated by default. To actually generate it, add a label attribute to
the <all> node in site.xml. This will cause it to appear on the menu, and
in turn cause forrest to follow that link and generate the page.

Charles, i don't know which version of forrest you are
talking about, but if it is the development version 0.6-dev
then the "whole site" production is commented out due to
various bugs. See the release roadmap and search for "PDF":
http://issues.cocoondev.org/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10000&report=roadmap
Issues: FOR-210 and FOR-211
Also there is a new "How-to" document on the website
explaining PDFs based on tabs (and see issue FOR-220).

Try (like Dave said):
<all label="whole sites">
<whole_site_html label="Whole Site HTML" href="site.html"/>
<whole_site_pdf label="Whole Site PDF" href="site.pdf"/>
</all>
and am I safe to follow the instructions in
