Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #1878: Documention Corrections - Various date_time Pages https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1878 <p> Here are some suggested changes for the <em>date_time</em> library documentation. </p> <p> In <em>\libs\date_time\xmldoc\gregorian.xml</em>, the phrase<br /> "If you are interested in learning about writing programs do specialized date calculations..."<br /> should probably be<br /> "If you are interested in learning about writing programs that do specialized date calculations..." </p> <p> In <em>\libs\date_time\xmldoc\date_class.xml</em>:<br /> "...it is not possible to construct and 'invalid' date."<br />should be<br /> "...it is not possible to construct an 'invalid' date." </p> <p> &lt;entry&gt;Get the day of the week (eg: Sunday, Monday, etc.&lt;/entry&gt;<br /> should be<br /> &lt;entry&gt;Get the day of the week (Sunday, Monday etc.)&lt;/entry&gt;<br /> [closing the parentheses and removing the superfluous "eg"] </p> <p> &lt;entry&gt;To &lt;code&gt;YYYY-mmm-DD&lt;/code&gt; string where &lt;code&gt;mmm&lt;/code&gt; 3 char month name.&lt;/entry&gt;<br /> should be<br /> &lt;entry&gt;To &lt;code&gt;YYYY-mmm-DD&lt;/code&gt; string where &lt;code&gt;mmm&lt;/code&gt; is a 3 char month name.&lt;/entry&gt; </p> <p> In the row after<br />&lt;entry valign="top" morerows="1"&gt;&lt;screen&gt;date operator-(date_duration) const&lt;/screen&gt;&lt;/entry&gt;, I think the line should be changed from<br /> &lt;entry&gt;Return a date by adding a day offset&lt;/entry&gt;<br /> to<br /> &lt;entry&gt;Return a date by subtracting a day offset&lt;/entry&gt; </p> <p> Here are two items for <em>\libs\date_time\xmldoc\snap_to_details.xml</em>:<br /> "The &lt;link linkend="iterators_intro"&gt;month_iterator&lt;/link&gt; is not effected by this issue..." <br />should be<br /> "The &lt;link linkend="iterators_intro"&gt;month_iterator&lt;/link&gt; is not affected by this issue..."<br /> [effected = accomplished, affected = influenced] </p> <p> "This would cause the final result to be different that the starting date." <br />should be<br /> "This would cause the final result to be different than the starting date." </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1878 Trac 1.4.3 Andrey Semashev Thu, 13 Nov 2008 17:59:27 GMT status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1878#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1878#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> Ticket
