Is there a syntax reference anywhere? I'm unsure as to whether I can link to other libraries that aren't in the "check-box area", for example. I would have liked to have done a bullet-list, too. Is this possible?
The syntax is pretty much MediaWiki with a couple of exceptions. I really must write the syntax up properly. If you look at an existing recipe and show it's properties you will see the markup used for the description, with one exception. If you want to embed pre formatted stuff, like short code examples, then prefix each line with four spaces. The spaces get collapsed in the properties view so you don't see them. E.g. http://www.boostcookbook.com/_fslib/properties.asp?id=1234820 Other formatting is * for bullet list, # for numbered list. [http://www.example.com Example link] and [[Libraries:Boost.Thread|link to library page]]. The content system is much richer than this, but I've not had time to configure it fully to combat XSS etc. so all HTML is just turned off. I've not had time to add all the libraries - there's a surprising number of them and I've been busy getting the thing working. There's a thread where you can post requests - http://www.boostcookbook.com/_fslib/_content/thread.asp?id=1234798 The site will email you when I reply to say I've added the library. I haven't even gotten around to putting in Boost.Thread for the futures example :( Don't forget that recipes can be edited later so you don't need to get them perfect first time (and we can edit each others, just like a normal wiki). So if a library you want to reference isn't there yet then post the recipe anyway, request the library and then edit the post later. The site feed will also automatically update to the new contents. I've also just added a blog. Please everybody grab a copy of the site's Atom feed to keep up to date with what's going on at http://www.boostcookbook.com/_fslib/_content/atom.asp K
