Thank Daniel for the continued work on Quickbook.
Seconded.
Is there a tutorial somewhere that explains how, given a .qbk file, one obtains viewable .html in the simplest possible way?
I think once you have it installed [1], all you have to do is 'b2 release' in the doc directory.
[1] http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/quickbook/install.html
Forgive the stupid question, but why does quickbook generate boostbook xml, which then generates html, instead of quickbook generating html directly?
Not a stupid question.. Just a historical one. The precursor to quickbook did generate HTML directly. It was "ported" to generate docbook to have it integrate into the then newish Boost documentation toolchain based on docbook in order to simplify doc writing with a simpler wiki like syntax. I do know that boostbook can do PDF as well, but in the common case the
developer running quickbook doesn't need a PDF.
It's been a wish of mine, with some work done long ago towards it, to bring back some form of direct HTML generation. In particular to make quickbook backend generation programmable. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
