This may have more to do with boostbook/quickbook than with xpressive, but in my Windows XP FireFox browser, it appears that every place inline code is followed by regular text, there is no space separating them. Spaces also seem to be missing in a few other places, e.g. "usingnamespace" can be seen on http://boost-consulting.com/projects/xpressive/xpressive/user_s_guide.html#x..., as can "representationof" ("representation" is in italics). So this probably applies to all style changes.

I'm almost sure that I already fixed that a few days ago. Ok, lemme check...

Ok, I just confirmed that this bug has been fixed. Eric, please run the docs using the latest QuickBook from Boost HEAD CVS.

Also, the full justification of text is difficult to read. I don't think web browsers are smart enough about formatting to make that legible, at least not at the normal smallish text sizes.

Hrmmm. Very subjective. I feel the opposite. Full justification is better for smaller fonts than bigger fonts because there are more spaces to allocate and divide. The problem is when there are few spaces in between text.

Well, I don't know the reasons, but Firefox does a fairly poor job of it, at least compared to LaTeX. Well, maybe my biggest complaint has to do with tables, as in http://boost-consulting.com/projects/xpressive/xpressive/creating_a_regex_ob... LaTeX does a bad job there, too :) Can you turn off full justification in tables?

Also, I think the abbrev "parens" should be changed to the word "parentheses" :)

In QuickBook docs? In xpressive?

The xpressive docs. But QuickBook too, if you use "parens" there. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
