the boost documentation is often excellent. It is very nice to see so many libraries being documented in the same way, which makes it a pleasant reading. However, some of it (generated by Quickbook?) show a tooltip at the cursor location. I find it slightly annoying and not very helpful.

Where? Can you give an example?

Using FireFox v3.6.3, a tooltip describing the page/section will appear under the mouse pointer. At, for instance: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/proto.html A tooltip with the text "Chapter 15. Boost.Proto" is shown. Similar for all subpages and/or subsections of subpages.

I concur, it has bugged me too, even to the extent of making a greasemonkey script that strips the title's/alt's of divs on the boost site.

So, it's fairly easy to override html.title.attribute if we want to get rid of this. Will there be any problems if /all/ uses of title get removed? I would favor this, if it works, since html.title.attribute is a major bottleneck in the html generation. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

That's fine with me. Docbook uses the html title attribute incorrectly most of the time. I think the only place it gets it right is when linking within docbook documents, but that doesn't add much value in our documentation.

Thank you very much! It's always nice to see such open-mindness here at Boost :-) Regards, Daniel Lidström Stockholm, Sweden
