<note>
This is a demonstration document using all possible elements in the
current Apache Forrest xdocs <code>document-v13.dtd</code> (See the
<link href="#changes">DTD changes</link> section at the bottom.)
</note>
<section id="sample">
<title>Sample Content</title>
<p>
<strong>Hint:</strong> See the xml source to see how the various
elements are used and see the <link href="site:dtd-docs">DTD reference
documentation</link>.

<title>Block and inline elements</title>
<p>
This is a simple paragraph. Most documents contain a fair amount of
paragraphs. Paragraphs are called <code>&lt;p&gt;</code>.
</p>
<p xml:space="preserve">
With the <code>&lt;p xml:space="preserve"&gt;</code> attribute, you can declare
that whitespace should be preserved, without implying it is in any other
way special.
</p>
<p>
This next paragraph has a class attribute of 'quote'. CSS can be used
to present this <code>&lt;p class='quote'&gt;</code> in a different
style than the other paragraphs. The handling of this quoted paragraph
is defined in the &lt;extra-css&gt; element in the skinconf.xml.
</p>
<p class="quote">
Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can
barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. Dey's uh,
shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried,
stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp,
pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and
potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.
</p>
<p>
A number of in-line elements are available in the DTD, we will show
them inside an unordered list (<code>&lt;ul&gt;</code>):
</p>
<ul>
<li>Here is a simple list item (<code>&lt;li&gt;</code>).</li>
<li>Have you seen the use of the <code>&lt;code&gt;</code> element in the
previous item?</li>
<li>Also, we have <code>&lt;sub&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;sup&gt;</code>
elements to show content <sup>above</sup> or <sub>below</sub> the text
baseline.</li>
<li>There is a facility to <em>emphasize</em> certain words using the
<code>&lt;em&gt;</code><strong><code>&lt;strong&gt;</code></strong>
elements.</li>
<li>We can use
<icon height="22" width="26" src="images/icon.png" alt="feather"/><code>&lt;icon&gt;</code>s too.</li>
<li>Another possibility is the <code>&lt;img&gt;</code> element:
<img src="images/icon.png" alt="another feather" height="22" width="26"/>,
which offers the ability to refer to an image map.</li>
<li>We have elements for hyperlinking:
<dl>
<dt><code>&lt;link href="../index.html"&gt;</code></dt>
<dd>Use this to
<link href="../index.html" title="Example of a document via link">link</link>
to another document. As per normal, this will open the new document
in the same browser window.</dd>
<dt><code>&lt;link href="#section"&gt;</code></dt>
<dd>Use this to
<link href="#section" title="Example of a document via local anchor">link</link>
to the named anchor in the current document.
</dd>
<dt><code>&lt;link href="../index.html#History"&gt;</code></dt>
<dd>Use this to
<link href="../index.html#History" title="Example of a document via link and anchor">link</link>
to another document and go to the named anchor. This will open
the new document in the same browser window.
</dd>
<dt><code>&lt;jump href="../index.html"&gt;</code></dt>
<dd>Use this to
<jump href="../index.html" title="Example of a document via jump">jump</jump>
to another document and optionally go to a named
<jump href="../index.html#overview" title="Example of a document via jump to anchor">anchor</jump>
within that document. This will open the new document in the same
browser window. So what is the difference between link and jump?
The jump behaves differently, in that it will replace any frames
in the current window.
This is the equivalent of
<code>&lt;a ... target="_top"&gt;</code></dd>
<dt><code>&lt;fork href="../index.html"&gt;</code></dt>
<dd>Use this to
<fork href="../index.html" title="Example of a document via fork">fork</fork>
your webbrowser to another document. This will open the document
in a new, unnamed browser window.
This is the equivalent of
<code>&lt;a ... target="_blank"&gt;</code></dd>
</dl></li>
<li>Oh, by the way, a definition list <code>&lt;dl&gt;</code> was used inside
the previous list item. We could put another
<ul>
<li>unordered list</li>
<li>inside the list item</li>
</ul>
<table>
<caption>A sample nested table</caption>
<tr>
<td>Or even tables.. </td>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>inside tables..</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>or inside lists, but I believe this liberty gets quickly quite
hairy as you see.</td>
</tr>
</table></li>
</ul>
<p>
So far for the in-line elements, let's look at some paragraph-level
elements.
</p>
<fixme author="SN">
The <code>&lt;fixme&gt;</code> element is used for stuff which still
needs work. Mind the <code>author</code> attribute!
</fixme>
<note>
Use the <code>&lt;note&gt;</code> element to draw attention to
something, e.g. ...The <code>&lt;code&gt;</code> element is used when
the author can't express himself clearly using normal sentences ;-)
</note>
<warning>
Sleep deprivation can be the result of being involved in an open
source project. (a.k.a. the <code>&lt;warning&gt;</code> element).
</warning>
<note label="Important">
If you want your own labels for notes and warnings, specify them using
the <code>label</code> attribute.
</note>
<p>
Apart from unordered lists, we have ordered lists too, of course.
</p>
<ol>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>This should be 3 if my math is still OK.</li>
</ol>

<section id="presentations">
<title>Various presentation formats</title>
<p>
This sample document, written in document-v13 XML can be presented via
Forrest in a number of different formats. The links in the following
list show this document in each of the currently available formats.
</p>
<p>
Each of the formats can be made available as a link near the top of
the page. Actual placement of those links depends on the skin
currently in use. Those links are enabled in the skinconf.xml via the
&#60;disable-XXX-link&#62; elements in the skinconf.xml
</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Presentation Format</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>skinconf.xml Element</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><link href="document-v13.html">HTML</link>
</td>
<td>This document in HTML format. </td>

<section id="section">
<title>Using sections</title>
<p>
You can use sections to put some structure in your document. For some
strange historical reason, the section title is an attribute of the
<code>&lt;section&gt;</code> element.
</p>
</section>
<section id="sub-section">
<title>Sections, the sequel</title>
<p>
Just some second section.
</p>
<section id="sub-sub-section">
<title>Section 2.1</title>
<p>
Which contains a subsection (2.1).
</p>
</section>
</section>
<section id="source">
<title>Showing preformatted source code</title>
<p>
Enough about these sections. Let's have a look at more interesting
elements, <code>&lt;source&gt;</code> for instance:
</p>
<source>
// This example is from the book _Java in a Nutshell_ by David Flanagan.
// Written by David Flanagan. Copyright (c) 1996 O'Reilly &amp; Associates.
// You may study, use, modify, and distribute this example for any purpose.

import java.applet.*; // Don't forget these import statements!
import java.awt.*;
public class FirstApplet extends Applet {
// This method displays the applet.
// The Graphics class is how you do all drawing in Java.
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("Hello World", 25, 50);
}
}</source>
<p>
CDATA sections are used within <code>&lt;source&gt;</code> elements so
that you can write pointy brackets without needing to escape them with
messy <code>&amp;lt;</code> entities ...
</p>
<source>
<![CDATA[
<pointy>
easy
</pointy>
]]>
</source>
<p>
Please take care to still use a sensible line-length within your
source elements.
</p>
</section>
<section id="table">
<title>Using tables</title>
<p>
And now for a table:
</p>
<table>
<caption>Table caption</caption>
<tr>
<th>heading cell 1</th>
<th>heading cell 2</th>
<th>heading cell 3</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>data cell</td>
<td colspan="2">this data cell spans two columns</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Tables can be nested:
</td>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<th>column 1</th>
<th>column 2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>cell A</td>
<td>cell B</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<ul>
<li>and can include most other elements</li>
<li>such as lists</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</section>
<anchor id="second-figure-anchor"/>
<section id="figure">
<title>Using figures</title>
<p>
And a <code>&lt;figure&gt;</code> to end all of this. Note that this
can also be implemented with an <code>&lt;img&gt;</code> element.
</p>
<figure src="images/project-logo2.png" alt="The fine Forrest logo" width="220" height="65"/>

<p>
See the generated <link href="site:dtd-docs">DTD reference
documentation</link>.
</p>
<section id="changes-13">
<title>Changes since document-v12</title>
<p>
All v1.2 docs will work fine as v1.3 DTD. The main change is the
addition of a @class attribute to every element, which enables the
"extra-css" section in the skinconf to be put to good use.
</p>
</section>
<section id="changes-12">
<title>Changes since document-v11</title>
<p>
doc-v12 enhances doc-v11 by relaxing various restrictions that were
found to be unnecessary.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Links ((link|jump|fork) and inline elements (br|img|icon|acronym) are
allowed inside title.
</li>
<li>
Paragraphs (p|source|note|warning|fixme), table and figure|anchor are
allowed inside li.
</li>
<li>
Paragraphs (p|source|note|warning|fixme), lists (ol|ul|dl), table,
figure|anchor are allowed inside definition lists (dd) and tables (td
and dh).
</li>
<li>
Inline content
(strong|em|code|sub|sup|br|img|icon|acronym|link|jump|fork) is
allowed in strong and em.
