Yet another quickbook question

Hi all, How do I generate the document-level index in the quickbook? Right now it generates indexes for those sections that contain subsections, but not the top-level index. Regards, Arkadiy

Something's not right here. It should be generated. Here's an example from the python tutorial: http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/index.html What am I missing? Cheers, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net

Is it conditional on something inside the .qbk file? By the way, your own quickbook documentation doesn't seem have a top-level index either ;-) I am using this one that I got from one of your posts: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/boost/boost/tools/quickbook /doc/html/index.html?rev=HEAD Regards, Arkadiy

Ah yes. I understand now. The generation of the top-level index depends on what you are generating. It's a BoostBook thing that I don't quite understand yet. It somehow depends on the document-type. An article will not have a top-level index; a library will. If you really want to know why, you should probably ask the boost-docs list. I don't know the answer. Anyway, I cross posted to the list. Let's continue this discussion there. Cheers, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net

I could be wrong... but I think this had to do with the type of document that is being generated (book, article, library, chapter or part, declared in the "header" of the .qbk file). Here, <http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/tutorial.qbk> you'll see that python docs' are declared as "library" (first line of the file) while quickbook's, <http://boost-consulting.com/boost/tools/quickbook/doc/quickbook.qbk>, are tagged as a "part". Could this be the problem? João
