[mpl] doc issues in release beta
In the reference section of the MPL docs, there are a couple of issues. The biggest is that there is some new CSS wackiness that is making cross-links look like regular text until you hover over the links with the mouse. This is a regression from 1.35. The other issue is a broken link. In the reference section for mpl::for_each, there is a link to the docs for value_initialized that goes nowhere. This problem exists in the 1.35 docs as well. -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Which download are you seeing this in and on which browser? Can you point to an individual example. The MPL documentation doesn't seem to have changed since 1.35. Daniel

I downloaded the .bz2 file (boost_1_36_beta.tar.bz2) from SF.net. It looks to me like the look-and-feel of the docs have changed in 1.36, which is strange because I don't remember a discussion about it. For instance, the index.html at the root no longer resembles the website. And it looks the same to me regardless of whether I use IE7 of Firefox 3. For an example of the hidden links, check out the reference docs for mpl::for_each and play find-the-links. In particular, check out the code block under "Expression Semantics". -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

The root index.html changed in 1.35 when we migrated to the new website. The design and planning for the new site was completed a long time before I was involved so I don't know if it was discussed.
For an example of the hidden links, check out the reference docs for mpl::for_each and play find-the-links. In particular, check out the code block under "Expression Semantics".
This is due to the stylesheet introduced in 1.32. You're probably used to the website, which uses a different stylesheet. It looks like the hidden links were deliberate. Daniel
