Gennady, I will let other people participate in the discussion. But I want to state one more time that the current effort to achieve a common look & feel for Boost docs needs that the standard format for boost documentation be "docbook", we are not trying to impose the quickbook format. Please do not forget that. We want xml docs because they are wonderful to work with. Please separate the discussion of whether to use docbook as the standard docs from using Quickbook. A lot of people have started to love Quickbook and when translating the old docs we are writing in it because it is far more easy to maintain for us. We then use quickbook to convert this .qbk docs into docbook that (if things go right) will be the standard format required by boost. Do not mix things, we both want to see Boost going into the docbook format. If you do not want to use quickbook, just do not use it. Accept that what may be a bad tool for you can be a very productive, fun and just amazing tool for a lot of other people. Best regards Matias
