declval Documentation Text Too Small

[Rob Stewart <robert.stewart@…>]

The text, apparently copied from a proposal, is really small compared to other Boost documentation.

If you're referring to http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/utility/doc/html/declval.html, I'm not seeing that it's any different. It's using the same stylesheet, too.

I am referring to that page. Compare the Overview text with that at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/utility/ or http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/utility/assert.html, for example. It is quite different. The latter two, it appears, don't specify the face or size of the text, so they appear as I expected. The former overrides my browser settings and renders the text very small (approximately 60% normal size).

Investigating the page source, I see that declval.html uses boostbook.css and assert.html does not. For comparison, I compared against http://www.boost.org/. That page appears to use another stylesheet, but renders like declval.html. Therefore, my complaint would appear to be against the formatting of assert.html, http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/utility/, and any others like them. The dramatic size difference among those pages is disturbing as making one suitably readable makes the other much too large or too small.

Should I apply formatting complaints against the pages that don't look like declval.html, then?

Maybe we should take this to the mailing list. I'd like to see if anyone else has anything to say before I start applying widespread formatting changes.

Of course, the real solution is to use quickbook for everything. :)

Please, create another ticket, may be for Boost documentation as the style sheets are common.
