The document you refer to is probably [1]

JTidy is highly configurable (see the JTidy website) however, it can't
remove chunks of your HTML, it's job is to tidy up the existing HTML -
make it well formed etc. If you want to remove chunks of your HTML you
need a custom transformation, this is documented in [1] (see
"Customizing the html pipeline")
Cocoon is the application framework Forrest is built on there is no
"cocoon" pipeline, it is the pipeline "engine".

Yes, override the match that does the transformations in your project
sitemap and remove the line that does the html-to-document transformation.

Section numbering should be done at the skinning stage not at the
transformation to XDoc. It is part of the rendering not the content.
As for bibliography there is a plugin in the whiteboard that goes
someway towards this. Documentation is non-existent (well it's the code)
and more work is needed, but it is a good starting point.
