Joel de Guzman and I are happy to announce the general availability of QuickBook, the mindlessly simple way to generate BoostBook-based documentation. The official home for QuickBook is now boost/tools/quickbook. <<What is QuickBook?>> QuickBook is a WikiWiki style documentation tool geared towards C++ documentation using simple rules and markup for simple formatting tasks. QuickBook extends the WikiWiki concept. Like the WikiWiki, QuickBook documents are simple text files. A single QuickBook document can generate a fully linked set of nice HTML and PostScript/PDF documents complete with images and syntax-colorized source code. Features include: * generate BoostBook xml, to generate HTML, PostScript and PDF * simple markup to link to Doxygen-generated entities * macro system for simple text substitution * simple markup for italics, bold, preformatted, blurbs, code samples, tables, URLs, anchors, images, etc. * automatic syntax coloring of code samples * CSS support For point of reference, the entire set of xpressive's documentation at: http://boost-sandbox.sf.net/libs/xpressive was generated from a the single text file: http://tinyurl.com/6h464 (full link: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/boost-sandbox/boost-sandbox...) Up-to-date documentation for QuickBook can be found in CVS at boost/tools/quickbook/index.html . -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
