Lots of reasons: easier installation, I happen to know it really well since we wrote C++TMP in it, more sensible parsing rules, I have complete and working emacs syntax coloring (makes a huge difference), shorter toolchain, a great path to PDFs (please don't say "FOP").
Are all of these things already available in boost somewhere? Is it possible for me to set all of this up, too? I also use docutils and emacs, and I would like to generate PDF documentation. I tried writing my own bjam files to convert from rst to latex to pdf, but I'm not particularly good at this. I just found docutils.jam, but I'm not sure whether I have to do anything special to make sure that the docutils scripts are found. Deane
