(1) Ability to have plain HTML output - JavaHelp does not render XHTML well, alas. ("<br />" is I think OK as well as "<br>", but the "<?xml ...?>" tag does not get handled.)
The current XSL uses output="html", so no XHTML. OTOH, doesn't JavaHelp use the HTML viewer from the JDK, which is limited to HTML 3.x? Will it support HTML 4.01 output?
Well I think it just depends on what elements and attributes you use. AFAIK the Swing HTML renderer does an OK job on basic CSS, etc. For purposes of something like the Ant manual it can probably render everything we would want without problems.
(2) Adequate metadata in every file to construct a table of contents.
What kind of TOC? Most tasks/types have the same structure, description + attributes + elements + examples. Do we really need to repeat these for every task/type in a TOC?
No, just a list of tasks and types. Basically equivalent a JavaHelp-formatted replacement for coretasklist.html etc. so that you can use a nav tree rather than HTML frames + links to move around.
