Hi, Why is it that ptr_vector's documentation has everything EXCEPT the header that I need to include? http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/ptr_container/doc/ptr_vector.html no mention of what headers are required... very frustrating, so either I have to look through all the other documentation and hope I find it, or look for the file on the harddisk, or trial-by-error... this problem seems to be common in boost documentation, is there a good reason why, or is this something that can be improved? thanks Paul

You're right. I find it difficult to find the headers that I need, too, as each Boost library seems to have a different place for this information. This is definitely something that can be improved. Often the headers are listed in a "Tutorial", "Introduction", or "Reference" section, but there are no set rules. In the case of the pointer container library, the headers are listed on a separate page titled "Library headers": http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/ptr_container/doc/headers.html
I've had the same issue. Furthermore, I've seen examples in the tree that include things in pairs where the two are alternatives, not both required. I think it should be a documentation standard to list the include and the namespaces (even if by a hyperlink to a single description) on the page that describes a function or other item.
