https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2730 <p> I note that many Boost libraries have many authors. </p> <p> For example the math library, where the seven authors (so far) are listed separately, half of page one is a list of authors, rather widely spaced. </p> <p> The Boost.Traits library ducks the issue by saying 'various authors', but listing them all in the copyright. This doesn't seem ideal. </p> <p> (If we output bibliographic info in future, we also want to be sure that all authors are specified, so putting "various authors" will output "various authors" as the authors!) </p> <p> So could the authors be better placed on one line? </p> <p> (I also note that the "Distributed under the Boost Software License, ..." is in a larger font that I think it need to be?) </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2730 Trac 1.4.3 Daniel James Thu, 05 Feb 2009 21:18:38 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2730#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2730#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>keywords</strong> boostbook added; quickbook removed </li> <li><strong>owner</strong> changed from <span class="trac-author">Joel de Guzman</span> to <span class="trac-author">Matias Capeletto</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">quickbook</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Documentation</span> </li> <li><strong>summary</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Quickbook might place many authors on one line?</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Boostbook might place many authors on one line?</span> </li> </ul> <p> Quickbook generates correct boostbook markup for the authors, changing the formatting is a boostbook issue. The HTML for the authors is currently generated by docbook, but it might be possible to use a hook to generate it ourselves. We could possibly change it in CSS, although I don't think that would be an particularly good solution. </p> <p> I've changed the component to 'Documentation' as this isn't really a quickbook issue, and we don't have a boostbook component. </p> Ticket Matias Capeletto Thu, 08 Nov 2012 11:18:09 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2730#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2730#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> changed from <span class="trac-author">Matias Capeletto</span> to <span class="trac-author">No-Maintainer</span> </li> </ul> Ticket
