jstrachan 4f0f367def Initial version of a plugin which can take HTML and turn it into the xdoc format ready for styling by the xdoc plugin.
This allows developers to use good old HTML (and some WYSIWYG tool) to edit & maintain documentation and get it included in the same site documentation as all the xdoc stuff

<p>
This plugin generates xdoc documents from some basic
HTML documentation which can then be styled by the xdoc goal to use
a uniform CSS style and add the common navigation links etc.
</p>
<p>
This goal means that normal vanilla HTML can be used to create documentation
using a WYSIWYG editing tool like Mozilla or MS FrontPage.
</p>
<p>
Most end user documentation
only requires basic formatting (bold, italic, bullets) along with headings and images and
links so using normal HTML for documentation with a WYSIWYG tool is a good idea.
</p>
<p>
The properties that allow you to customize the execution
are documented <a href="properties.html">here</a>.
</p>
<p>
To enable HTML to xdoc conversion add the following to your maven.xml

<source>
&lt;preGoal name="xdoc:jelly-transform"&gt;
&lt;attainGoal name="html2xdoc"/&gt;
