Do 'see also' links of the form

help in resolving this?

Both libraries could (should even) helpfully cross-link each other?

Beast documentation has extensive cross-links to Boost.Asio docs, for example click on return type ("DEDUCED") of these function signatures:

https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_68_0/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/ref/boost__b...

...

A PR that is just a link is much more likely to be accepted than something that needs real effort?

I don't know that it makes sense for asio to link back to beast. And that wouldn't be meaningful for the stand-alone version (which shares the same docs).

It is usually best to link to https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/beast ... rather than a Boost release version-specific link like https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_68_0/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/... But perhaps you knew and do that already? Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal UK LA8 8AB +44 (0) 1539 561830
