Also, compare the size of the docs source:
Boost.Bimap docs in docbook: 1.1 MB Boost.Bimap docs in quickbook: 0.3 MB
I would bet that even compressing a docbook file and corresponding quickbook file would yield quickbook the winner.
yes. I see ~30%. Again, what is the point of this comparison?
Simple... That you *type* less when writing _Quickbook_, than when writing with <emphasis role="underline">DocBook</phrase> <emphasis>directly</emphasis>.
[*That was my point]
AND it is not "Write-only" either - you can read it more easily too! I think the weight of opinion is firmly behind keeping Quickbook as a favoured, but not exclusive, Boost docs tool.
