Embedded HTML demonstration page
Embedded HTML demonstration page
An HTML document is used as the source for this page, and translated to the intermediate Apache Forrest xdocs document structure. The sitemap then does the normal aggregation with the navigation content and application of the skin.
The html is being interpreted by Forrest and transformed to the intermediate Apache xdocs document structure. That stylesheet cannot deal with every possibility in unstructured html, so it tries to guess how to build <section> elements and such. It needs <h1> (<h2> etc.) headings in the source html in order to identify sections. Patches are welcome to enhance that transformer.
You can still take advantage of Forrest's "site:" method of linking, for example: <a href="site:index">
Some example uses of HTML
There are situations when the Apache Forrest xdocs DTD is not sufficient. The use of embedded HTML enables you to use HTML code in these situations.
Embedded applets and Javascript

HTML forms for user interaction

Invalid HTML
This paragraph has a missing closing tag for the <p> element. If you look at the XML created by Forrest you'll notice that Forrest has fixed this.
Potentially Invalid XDocs
