While I'm on the subject of Boost.book. I would hope that the formatting is in a .css so that I might replace it with my preferred look and feel. (I prefer the "classic" one). I believe this would resolve the essentially irresolvable about esthetics.
It already is. The CSS is located at: $(boost-root)/doc/html/boostbook.css. When generating the navigation pane, Boost.Book should use tree.css instead of boostbook.css.
The new look and feel has modified the way the top section is rendered, so it might look different when using the "classic" L&F. It also renders navigation controls at the top and bottom in Spirit style layout.
That said, it would be really nice if we could settle on a single L&F for all libraries. It's just as easy for an individual library author to cause upset for readers by overriding the default .css as it is by hand-coding his own HTML style. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
