Description
The documentation homepage has subtly wrong HTML that isn't caught by validators. The main section that lists Boost's libraries with short summaries is a HTML definition list with the following opening tag:
<dl class="">
Note the class atribute is an empty string. For some reason this confuses CSS engines of some browsers (including current Konqueror and newest Opera beta) into displaying the contained <dt>s as if they had display="inline" - they are not on new line, except the first one.

That didn't seem to improve things on Konqueror. The generated dots after all the 'dt's are wrapping to the next line. Using a fixed height seems to fix that, although I'm not sure if the height is correct, as a line-height is never specified. I'll check the change into beta.

(In [45287]) Remove the fixed line height as on some browsers it doesn't match the normal line height and looks a bit wonky. Instead I added a class to the outer dl so that the titles can clear the line, the field names and values are not aligned on safari and opera, but the whole thing looks vaguely reasonable now.

The page still looks awful in konqueror. I'd hoped it'd get fixed in there, since it's been fixed in webkit for a while but I guess it doesn't work like that. It'll be a pity to have to put in a hack just for a minority browser, but I guess it's the only way.

Oh, I'm just going to resolve this as fixed. The html is fine. The page looks fine in every recent mainstream browser. I don't have Konqueror installed at the moment, might try it if I get round to installing linux again.
(In [44594]) Remove class="" - it's causing some compilers some problems. Refs #1735.
