Yep, that's really slick. You have my permission to convert any of the libraries I authored or maintain to Quickbook. That matters for: Graph: It's huge, and it's HTML. Function: In BoostBook now, so don't bother converting yet Signals: In BoostBook now, so don't bother converting yet Tribool: In BoostBook now, so don't bother converting yet You don't need to touch MPI; it's already Quickbook+Doxygen. - Doug

Hi Matias, I'll be happy to be a Guineapig for this translation effort! Please tell me if I can assist you in any way to convert my Wave docs to Quickbook! Regards Hartmut

Hi!

We are trying to convert every bit of boost docs to Quickbook so we can handle them easier and apply a new set of features that we have been developing. If you want to look at the last iteration of the new style, it is here: http://tinyurl.com/3yukos

We need your authorization to help you in the translation process. It will be painless for you because we will translate your docs to Quickbook and do all the hard work. The only thing you will have to do is to edit .qbk files instead of .html files the next time you have to change your docs. Believe me when I say that it is very very easy to learn (ask anyone about this), your docs will be more maintainable and documenting will start to be a fun part of your boost work. After the translation we offer our time to help you learning Quickbook.

We have two volunteers (Jake and Glyn) that are eagerly waiting for a first victim :) They are sending private email to authors but it will be nice to have a TODO list of docs to convert.

Please tell us if we can help you.

Thanks for helping us improve boost documentation Best Regards Matias _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost

Is there a WYSIWYG editor available for Windows? --Beman

Sounds good to me :-), I hereby grant you the permission to convert all the Boost.Statechart docs. I think we should do this iteratively, so please get back to me as soon as you have converted a few pages worth. Also, please let me know before you start so that I can check in everything. Thanks!
