How do you make an external link as part of a tab?

I have something like this:

   <bxml label="Binary XML" href="bxml/">
     <index label="About" href="index.html"/>
     <index label="Using Binary XML" href="useage.html"/>
     <index label="API Docs" href="api/"/>
     <index label="Test Results" href="test/"/>
   </bxml>

However the api/ and test/ links cause Forrest to
crash and not produce the site.

These are produced by external tools, so how do I
get those links working without resorting to full
"http://d-haven.sourceforege.net/bxml/api/" URLs?

Actually, it should be "not(contains(., 'test/'))"

Thanks for the heads up.

It sounds like you are using CVS Forrest (0.4 didn't have this problem).
If so, you can disable crawling of 'api/' and 'test/' by copying the
Forrest filterlinks.xsl file (in xml-forrest/src/resources/stylesheets/)
into src/documentation/resources/stylesheets/, and then edit it to filter
out links beginning with those paths:

<    <xsl:if test="not(contains(.,'apidocs')) and not(starts-with(., 'samples/'))">
--
>    <xsl:if test="not(contains(.,'api/')) and not(starts-with(., 'test/'))">

filterlinks.xsl is applied when the Cocoon crawler does a
?cocoon-view=links request, so filtering out certain links causes them to
not be crawled.
