I'm still having trouble with my menu generation. The best I get is that the my index.html files
get the complete index (too much, it is selecting all site.xml elements, regardless
of the tab attribute). On detail pages, I get the correct menus.

Examples:

http://jakarta.apache.org/hivemind/

Contains all the menus (including for the "Module: hivemind" and "Module: hivemind-lib" menus). It
should just have the project menus.

http://jakarta.apache.org/hivemind/services.html has the correct menu (everything at the project
level should have this menu).

Likewise, the index.html for the hivemind and hivemind-lib menus is off, showing everything (just
like the root index.html).

http://jakarta.apache.org/hivemind/hivemind/ant/ConstructRegistry.html has the correct menu (just
the stuff in the "Module: hivemind" menu).


I've enclosed my tabs.xml and site.xml ... obviously, I've been playing with different approaches
and not finding the right one. I tried directory based menus and that was close,
except that the root index.html got no menu at all (and the pages linked only from the root
index.html were not generated).

There seems to be some contention between what the dir and href attributes do and mean, and I can't
follow whats going on inside all that cocoon and xslt to figure it out. Talk about a steep learning
curve! Without the href attribute, the tabs don't display properly (i.e., highlighting the
currently selected tab) for the index.html pages. At this point, I've been through so many
iteration, I don't know if the dir attribute is needed or not.


tabs.xml:

<!DOCTYPE tabs PUBLIC "-//APACHE//DTD Cocoon Documentation Tab V1.0//EN"
"http://apache.org/forrest/dtd/tab-cocoon-v10.dtd">

<tabs software="HiveMind"
title="HiveMind Project"
copyright="Apache Software Foundation"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

<!-- The rules are:
@dir will always have '/@indexfile' added.
@indexfile gets appended to @dir if the tab is selected. Defaults to 'index.html'
@href is not modified unless it is root-relative and obviously specifies a
directory (ends in '/'), in which case /index.html will be added

HLS NOTE: I don't think the following line is accurate!

If @id's are present, site.xml entries with a matching @tab will be in that tab.
