All (especially documenters), I seem to be rewriting much of the Boost.Graph documentation as I slowly translate it into quickbook format, and augment it with concepts from my SoC project. However, I've run into a "small-ish" missing feature in quickbook that I might need to do the job correctly: bibliography support. Boost.Graph has a (growing) bibliography of about 60 different references. What I would like to be able to do is something like this... # somewhere in graph.qbk [include bibliography.qbk] The bibliography should contains a set of structured records that define bibliographic entries that we can cite in then documentation proper. It would probably be worthwhile to support a number of different entry types. # book references [bibbook [authors [Aho, A.V.] [Hopcroft J.E.] [Ullman J.D.]] [title Data Structures and Algorithms] [year 1983] [publisher Addison-Wesley] ] # journal articles [bibarticle # ... [journal [title Software - Practice and Experience] [volume 25] [issue 8]] [year 1995] [date Aug] [pages 863-889] ] # conference proceedings [bibproceedings # ... [conference 23rd International Conference on Software Maintenance] [location Paris, France] [year 2007] [date Oct 2-5] ] There are probably others to support (i.e., theses and dissertations). Citations should be easy since they're basically just links. A citation might look something like: [bibref aho_1983_data_structures_and_algorithms] This could generate something like: [<a href="...#...">Aho'1983</a>] Although there are a number of different represent references. They could simply be numbers. Does this sound like something that might be useful for quickbook? I was thinking about trying to write it myself, but I'm a little busy between SoC and my narrowing down a dissertation topic. I still might give it a shot, but I don't really know anything about the back-end formatting. Thoughts? Comments? Andrew Sutton asutton@cs.kent.edu
