Joel de Guzman and I, with the help of many smart folks on the boost-docs list[*], have been working on improving the

Boost's documentation. We're ready to commit the new style,

to check here first.
Volodya was good enough to put up a copy of Boost's docs
with the new
style applied. You can preview them here: http://zigzag.lvk.cs.msu.su/~ghost/boost_docs/
Please say whether you like the new style or not. If not,
be specific
about why.
Speaking strictly as a user of these pages, I think it's definitely an improvement, much cleaner, and better from where we were.
I would however suggest that an option (and only as an option) be provided to view a chapter in one page rather than having to navigate back and forth (with <- , -> at the bottom of the pages). Even better still, the "Table of Contents" for each chapter, if it were to appear on each page of the chapter would be very desirable, most useful and convenient.

I agree, especially with the remark concerning a single-page option; why not turn that into a "print version" if possible?
Does ability to generate PDF output amounts to "print version"? Personally, I find PDF output which can be printed with one click one of the killer features of BoostBook.
As long as we can print that's ok by me, but on the otherhand, it's always a convenience to be printer-friendly with HTML -- Manfred Doudar MetOcean Engineers
