Also, compare the size of the docs source:
Boost.Bimap docs in docbook: 1.1 MB Boost.Bimap docs in quickbook: 0.3 MB
It is a real difference. The real difference would be the comparison of non WS chars (and exclude all quickbook related artifacts from DocBook) You do know that XML is one of the most verbose data formats in existence, right?
So what? Above comparison still prove nothing.
Who said there was anything to prove? Matias suggested that you might consider the size of equivalent documents when thinking about the effectiveness of writing in Quickbook. And you said it was an invalid comparison because you should remove white-space before comparing. I was just asking if you knew where XML stands in the verbosity scale of data formats. Do you?
I would bet that even compressing a docbook file and corresponding quickbook file would yield quickbook the winner.
yes. I see ~30%. Again, what is the point of this comparison?
Simple... That you *type* less when writing _Quickbook_, than when writing with <emphasis role="underline">DocBook</phrase> <emphasis>directly</emphasis>. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
