dumb question.

[Donald Shierk <we...@hotmail.com>]

Hello.

I've been following this list for a while now. I just wondered if someone 
could speak to the range of devices Forrest can be used to write for? I 
mean, most of the time it seems that persons are speaking of writing to html 
for browsers, but can the skins be also designed to publish on cell phones, 
handhelds, etc?

Thanks much for any clarification.

Don

Forrest does whatever Cocoon can do, and Cocoon is designed for this 
sort of thing. It requires writing a custom skin with XSLTs that 
transform the XML to the desired format, and perhaps using a custom 
serializer.

First of all, any question is not dumb. ;)

Well, the short answer is yes. The long is:

Currently this support is missing on the package but you can be sure that
sometime it will become a standard feautre of Forrest. All that need to be
done is to fill some sitemap entries and the correct XSLT files to do the
work done. At least this is my point of view.

For nothing, this is just my 2 cents. ;)
