It is coming from a data factory (dataModel.xmap). If you want to hange
the list to divs, then the easiest is to implement your own navigation
contract.

Yeah, because this location is not enabled. If you really need to
implement your own implementation for the tabs (I think you do not need
this) then you can implement in your project locationmap  <map:transform
src="{lm:dataModel-html-tab-to-menu.xsl}"> and you do not need to change
anything in forrest.

...but that is IMO not needed because you are not trying to get another
navigation into forrest (like one that is not only based on tab/site but
maybe another component).

Yes, since what you are trying to archive, using divs instead a list,
you can just copy the corresponding contract into your project and
change <xsl:copy-of select="navigation/tab/ul[@id='nav-main']"/>
to <xsl:apply-templates select="navigation/tab/ul[@id='nav-main']"/>
and implement the needed transformation.

Actually if you could contribute the german doc that is very fine as
well. Maybe someone can later on translate it in English.

If you encounter sharp corners just write us and we will try to help.

Hi,

just wanted to give some positive feedback to this list, thank you guys 
for beeing so patient with me. And here is my result:

http://root.neotecc.de/DRAFTS/grobmeier.de/

I know that the colors are sometimes a bit strange and my CSS is not the 
best one ever written but i think the direction becomes clear :-) This 
theme is not perfect yet, but i will try to make it better.

At the moment i am writing a document which gets you started with 
forrest. It's in german and this will may take till march. After this 
and maybe next i hope that i can rewrite your suggestions to some kind 
of user-docs and contribute it.

Cheers,
Chris
