  Tutorial: Documenting Projects with Apache Forrest

Documenting Projects with Apache Forrest This article will give you a very basic introduction to Forrest -- just enough to get you started and give you a taste of what's possible -- to see if Forrest's for you; you can find out much more from Forrest's

Tutorial Details:

Introduction to Forrest
Forrest takes raw documentation content (usually in a simplified XML authoring format) and automagically converts it into a web site with:

Smart hierarchical menus
Named, logical links, making it easy to cross-reference without regard to the physical location of files
Custom headers and footers
"Breadcrumbs" links around the site
Multiple tabs
"Favorites" icon for IE and other supporting browsers
A choice of "skins" with different appearances
Conversion of SVG to a variety of image formats (e.g., PNG)
A choice of dynamic generation (run it as a web app) or static generation (run it by hand and generate HTML)
Links to PDF versions of pages, or even the whole site
The Forrest web site itself is a large application of Forrest, so you can get an idea of what's possible by browsing around the site.

Internally, Forrest is a sophisticated application of Cocoon. It's an XML application framework that can be used for offline web site generation and dynamic web site generation, but really it should be thought of as an XML processing pipeline.
