Firstly that viewer kept failing for me, so I gave up quite quickly.

What failure do you get ? Maybe I can reproduce it.

It doesn't work at all for me on Chrome.

With IE it somewhat works, but from time to time the github website says it is overloaded and please try again later. This is irritating. It could be that European users get different servers to US users.

I use Firefox and am in the US and it seems to work for me.

It might work better to create a 'gh-pages' branch for use with github pages. I did that here:

https://github.com/boostorg/quickbook/tree/gh-pages

Do you mean a separate branch just for the documentation ? In this case how does it help things since your link just below seems the same use of 'http://boostorg.github.io' etc, as I show in my original reply about reading the VMD docs online. Is it less bandwith do you mean ? In that case I will be glad to create a separate branch just for the documentation.

It's not the same system. Htmlpreview is implement in client side javascript and uses a yahoo service to get the files from the github api. It's not actually a github service, they're just running it on github's servers. Github pages creates some sort of static site on github's servers - so it requires less work for them than handling api requests. All you need to do is create a gh-pages branch containing whatever you wish to serve (in my case it's just branched from a feature branch with the generated html checked in). Github will then create a site. I think it will be at: http://eldiener.github.io/variadic_macro_data/doc/html/index.html
