Table of contents

  3. Trac


HTML docs

You can see the latest iteration of the new style here.

If you checkout boost from the SVN repository, you can build docs with the new style by switching the appropriate XSL directory to the updated version in the sandbox. To switch, go to the tools/boostbook/xsl directory of your checked out boost working copy, and execute

      svn switch -N http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/boost_docs/trunk/tools/boostbook/xsl .
 (or) svn switch -N https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/boost_docs/trunk/tools/boostbook/xsl .

This will make that particular working copy directory be synchronized with the new style. To switch back, execute:

      svn switch -N http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/tools/boostbook/xsl .
 (or) svn switch -N https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/tools/boostbook/xsl .

Some of the new features:

  • Validated XHTML 1.1 output (better than strict XHTML)
  • New header and footer based on beta.boost.org.
  • GroupedLinks select boxes for Boost libraries and quick jumps to sections.
  • Google Search box for our docs.
  • Box-wrapper-based blurbs that allow us to include rounded corners, drop shadows, etc.
  • Highlighting of alternative syntax that simulates your own IDE (move the mouse to the upper righthand corner of a code block)
  • Chapter logo support
  • Modular CSS design
  • CSS-based admonitions and navigation graphics
  • Quickbook source stylesheet
