The requisite CSS can be found appended to the bottom of this boostbook.css

That *IS* wonderful!

ANother example of what can be done with quickbook+css manipulation with that role (and a bunch of other class and id attributes I added to the boostbook XSLT) take a look at N3700 < http://www.open- std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2013/n3700.html>. It includes things like:

* Mixed styles per sections. * Mixed/explicit numbering of sections. * Embedded CSS * Repositioned doc info header * Automatic numbered paragraphs

Quickbook source code is at < https://github.com/grafikrobot/boost-tree/tree/master/proposal>. After the September meeting I'm hoping to clean up the CSS and template to make it reusable as a way to quickly write standards documents.

Truly Cool! (Although the font size of code is a bit small compared to the text - and I am violently allergic to red for comments - red is for warnings!) This should be *really useful* for those tackling the ugly task of preparing Standard documents. Automatic numbered paragraphs looks very useful (if you want numbered paragraphs ;-) Will this also produce a pdf version as with other Quickbook docs? Paul --- Paul A.
