+ Done in the CVS docs ("First steps" track).
- The following information is usually required to understand the contents of other tracks.
- # How to [install cocoon | http://cocoon.apache.org/installing/index.html]
- # Studying the [Concepts |http://cocoon.apache.org/userdocs/concepts/index.html] on which cocoon is based certainly helps, although you usually don't need to understand all of them to study the other tracks.
- # A Cocoon Primer, similar to the [Forrest one|http://xml.apache.org/forrest/primer.html] that quickly pinpoints people to the what and how of Cocoon. The Concepts document might be nice, but maybe is a tad too conceptual for novel users. -- [Steven Noels]
+ Done in the CVS docs ("Web Publishing" track).
- Goal: publishing HTML documents dynamically out of XML data.
- # [How to Publish XML Documents in HTML and PDF|http://cocoon.apache.org/howto/howto-html-pdf-publishing.html] will get you started and contains pointers to more detailed information.
+ Done in the CVS docs ("Web Publishing" track).
