[docs] Who's Using Boost link goes nowhere.
Just tried looking up that page. And the link on <http://boost-consulting.com/boost/more/background.html> goes to <http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/doc/html/who_s_using_boost_.html>. First the page doesn't exist. Second I don't think pointing it to the sandbox is the right thing to do. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org

The version in cvs should forward to http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/who_s_using_... and that does exist. John.

OT, but can we change that to who_is_using_boost?

The file name is whatever quickbook produces: it's not that easy to change unfortunately. John.

A feature request? :-) Cheers, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net

I think someone already asked for it actually - the ability to assign a user defined name and linkid to the whole document (in the main document info section). You can do this already for sections etc, just not the whole document.
Noted. Cheers, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net

While we're at it one more: there no way to specify alt: text for images at present, or if there is it's not in the docs :-) I'm also having trouble with image alignment, but that's a whole other story... John.

Well, you could probably change the title of the page to "Who is using Boost" without loss of generality ;-) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

OK. So I guess I have to wait until SF fixes the CVS access problems before I see that change. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org

No change, it's *always* been that way in cvs. I don't know why the Boost Computing mirror would be pointing somewhere else.
My copy of boost-root/more/background.html, version 1.3 according to cvs, has this starting at line 44: <h2>Who else is using Boost?</h2> <p>See the <a href="http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/doc/html/who_s_using_boost_.html"> Who's Using Boost page</a> for a sampling. We don't know the exact numbers, but The file at <http://boost-consulting.com/boost/more/background.html> also has this: <h2>Who else is using Boost?</h2> <p>See the <a href="http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/doc/html/who_s_using_boost_.html"> Who's Using Boost page</a> for a sampling.

My copy of boost-root/more/background.html, version 1.3 according to cvs, has this starting at line 44:
Rene, I'm so sorry, I was looking at the wrong file! Fixed now to point to the local version (which then goes on to redirect to the right place if you're using it straight from cvs). John.

No problem, we all get confused sometimes ;-)

Thanks... Does that mean that CVS is working for you? -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org
