 Description  « Hide
The 'forrest seed site' fails and reports a broken link for "ext:dtd-docs". Similarly building Forrest core docs an error with "site:dtd-docs". Why this link in particular while other links are okay?

I believe this is related to FOR-284 and FOR-258. It's not the link itself that's causing the problem.

It's that the link generation is failing when the document is being rendered as XML.

Both the sample docs have a table which is demonstrating different presentation formats that can be handled by Forrest.

One of those presentations is XML. In that table is a reference to "sample.xml" and "document-v13.xml" in the docs by the same names. The table can be found in <section id="presentations">.

A quick fix would be remove the <a href="sample.xml"> in sample.xml and the <link href="document-v13.xml"> in document-v13.xml.

Aside: It'd be easier to track these down if the broken-links file included the referencing URL where the broken link was found. I'll open a "enchancement" note on this.

This issue is now magically fixed.

It is not actually fixed. It was just being disguised by something else. Not bothering to re-open this Issue because FOR-284 describes it better.

Regarding the comment above, the brokenlinks.xml does now include the referrer uri.
