Standard Document Format

1. Forrests internal document format (defined by an XML-grammar). This format ist the common denominator for all things going into or coming out of Forrest's core processing. All input-plugins will translate their supported documents into this format, all output-plugins will create the output by transforming this format into something else. Currently Forrest uses document-v13-dtd as its internal format.

X

xdoc

1. "xdoc" is an xml documentation stucture that started life at some other ASF projects. Apache Forrest adopted it and enhanced it to be similar to xhtml2. "xdoc" is currently the internal xml structure of Forrest (someday will be xhtml2). "xdocs" can be used as an input source format.
