Introduction

The translated docs will be located in: SVN: snadbox/boost_docs/trunk/libs/lib_name/doc

Once they are stable, the lib author will be invited to see the results and commit them to the correct location CVS: boost/libs/lib_name/doc

Translation Guide

To translate html docs we should wait for the result of Glyn Matthews's Html to docbook project.

Once we have docbook docs, if the authors wants to have a Quickbook version of it (really recommended), we can use the "Quickbook source" stylesheet. It works very well in Opera ( Menu: "View" ---> "Style" ---> "Quickbook source" ).

Organization in the repository

SVN: snadbox/boost_docs/trunk/libs/lib_name

Docbook source - Required

  • doc/lib_name.xml
    Doc source in docbook format. Optionally it can include boostbook extensions.
    Example:
  • doc/lib_name.xsl
    Example: 

     Library dependents output configuration parameters (i.e. chunker depth).

  • doc/Jamfile.v2

     "doc/bjam --v2" will generate the html docs.

     Example:

    


Quickbook Source - Optional



  • doc/lib_name.qbk

     Main quickbook file.

     Example:

    [library Quickbook
    [quickbook 1.4]
    [copyright 2007 Joel de Guzman and Eric Niebler]
    [purpose Test Formatting Document]

[section Other Small Section]

Some more lines.

[endsect]


  • doc/*.qbk

     Moderate size main sections quickbook files

  • doc/larger_section.qbk

  • doc/larger_section/*.qbk

     Large size main sections (i.e reference) may be splitted again, organizing them
in a directory tree to avoid clutering the  doc directory.


Images - Optional



  • doc/images/*.png

     You can use other formats, but be a good web citizen and use portable networks graphics.

  • doc/images/*.svg

     If you intend to have a decent rendering in the pdf docs, use svg.


Examples - Optional



  • example/doc/*.cpp

     Quickbook allows us to import code chuncks, instead of harcoding them in the qbk source.
This allow as to be sure that every code example will be in sync and with out typos.

     Example:


     Use it qbk source:

     Example:

    

  • example/doc/Jamfile.v2

     Testsuite for the doc examples.

     Example:

    


Navigation aid - Will be automated in the future



  • doc/html/sections.xml

     Nested links xml definition of the library sections. This file is used to generate the
navigation select boxes and tree sidebar (expected it soon'').

     Example:
