Actually after poking around in other pages - specifically the spirit documentation I find that its not uncommon for links to point to www.boost.org rather than have a relative path that would keep the session in the same documentation tree.
Robert, This is one thing in which a CVS checkout (which you are examining) differs from the tarball -- in a checkout many of these links redirect to Boost.org because the BoostBook-generated documentation is not there. In the tarball, the placeholder files which do the redirect are overridden by the actual BoostBook-generated content. That said, even in the tarball there is a number of links which use the absolute www.boost.org notation without a good reason. I just fixed the easy ones on the branch. If someone wants to tackle the issue of how to handle the ones from the documents which potentially might reside outside of Boost (Spirit docs for instance, or conference papers), please be my guest. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
