Re: [boost] Boost website changes and .'cxxstd'

Beta branch of the website has been updated. It shows the *C++ standard minimum level* just below *Standard* field with the value from *cxxstd* attribute if a valid one exists for a library. Please review and let me know your comments. On Fri, Dec 25, 2020 at 10:29 AM Donovan Dikaio wrote:

I can look into it. But needs to make the requirements clear.

So, the task is to show *C++ standard minimum level: C++nn* for Standard attribute for each lib in this page: C++ standard minimum level: C++nn ? And we could replace nn with the actual number by checking the *cxxstd* key in a library's meta info json file.

Please let me know if I got it right.

Even though I have worked a little with PHP in the past I do not have the talent to make the change to the website which would incorporate the addition of the meta information json field 'cxxstd' to the Boost documentation web page for each library. The idea is that if 'cxxstd' is set to a value the documentation for that library would also show:

C++ standard minimum level: C++nn

where nn would be 11, 14, 17, or 20 depending on the value of 'cxxstd'. Alternatively if there is no 'cxxstd' entry for a library or if the value of 'cxxstd' is '03', we could either specify 'nn' as '03' or leave off the line stating the 'C++ standard minimum level completely.

On the face of it this should be doable in the website code but evidently Daniel James is the only one who really understands how this works in the code and he is no longer active in Boost. So if someone else who understands the website code and PHP could do this it would be appreciated, since I think it will be valuable telling end-users whether a Boost library is usable at the C++ compiler level they are using.
