I've just committed a new tool to the sandbox under tools/auto_index which helps automate the indexing of quickbook/boostbook/docbook documentation. Obviously the tool is biased toward C/C++ code documentation, as among other things it can scan C/C++ headers looks for definitions of classes/typedefs/macros/functions which should be indexed. The actual index can be produced either by the final XSL transform, or by auto_index itself (ie using regular docbook markup for the index), the former is better for PDF/print docs as it allows page numbers to be inserted, the latter works better for html docs, and is also faster (thankfully - the XSLT index generation code is glacially slow). There are some examples taken from type_traits and Boost.Math here: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/tools/auto_index/example/readme.html Some rather basic documentation for the tool itself is here: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/tools/auto_index/doc/html/index.html note that currently there is no Boost.Build integration - I really need some help with that - so the tool is much harder to use than it should be. Any comments, especially on the usability of the indexes generated would be much appreciated! Cheers, John.
