I would like to know if boost-build supports writing tutorials using Doxygen rather that using HTML or its own "quickbook" tool.
We do use straight doxygen documentation in at least on place: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/libs/gil/doc/index.html To create boost documentation, you don't have to use boost build, but you do have to make it reasonably easy for others to generate the documentation. In GIL's case, it uses shell scripts, which isn't ideal for windows users. Also, be aware that doxygen can generate long file names which don't meet our requirements. GIL uses a script to rename them (although there are some broken links, I haven't looked into why that is, I don't really know doxygen). I think boost build's doxygen support is tailored for boostbook, but it would be nice to be able to use it for other purposes. I'm not sure what that would be involved, you might want to ask on the build list. Daniel
