Hi Thomas,

I saw the files you post and I think we are mixing targets. AFAIK, Forrest
is a documentation tool and the sites you sent are more portal sites.

Best Regards,

Antonio Gallardo.

Futhermore I would like to see XSLT code which is easier to customize,
though it is not bad, don't get me wrong ;). The goal would be that Web
designer use XSLT to create more dynamic pages with modular information,
like text boxes for instance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ,
http://www.k10k.net/ , http://www.fdtdesign.com/.) However, two level of
XSLT code are already differentiated; XSLT code that you can change and
the one your are not supposed to, I like this idea.
