  81. XML-based format for describing documentation. BoostBook augments
  82. DocBook with semantic markup that aids in the documentation of C++
  83. libraries, specifically the <a href="http://www.boost.org" target="_top">Boost C++ libraries</a>, by
  84. providing the ability to express and refer to C++ constructs such
  85. as namespaces, classes, overloaded functions, templates, and
  86. specializations.</p><p>
  87. BoostBook offers additional features more specific to its use for
  88. documenting the <a href="http://www.boost.org" target="_top">Boost C++
  89. libraries</a>. These features are intended to eliminate or
  90. reduce the need for duplication of information and to aid in
  91. documenting portions of Boost that might otherwise not be
  92. documented. Examples of Boost-centric features include:
  93. </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><b>Testsuites</b></span>:
  94. Testsuites in Boost are created by writing an appropriate
  95. Jamfile and including that Jamfile in
  96. <tt class="filename">status/Jamfile</tt>. If the testsuites are
  97. documented (<a href="http://www.boost.org/libs/multi_array/doc/test_cases.html" target="_top">as
  98. in the MultiArray library</a>), the documentation is
  99. maintained separately from the testcase Jamfile, leading to
  100. duplication of information and the possibility of having the
  101. documentation out of sync with the Jamfile. BoostBook
  102. contains elements that describe a testsuite for both
  103. purposes: the BoostBook stylesheets can generate
  104. documentation for the testcases and also generate an
  105. appropriate Jamfile to integrate the testcases with the
  106. regression testing system.</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><b>Example programs</b></span>:
  107. Example programs in documentation need to be duplicated in
  108. testcases to ensure that the examples compile and execute
  109. correctly. Keeping the two copies in sync is a tedious and
  110. error-prone task. For instance, the following code snippet
  111. persisted for six months:</p><pre class="programlisting">
  112. std::cout &lt;&lt; f(5, 3) &gt;&gt; std::endl;
  113. </pre><p>The BoostBook format allows testcases to be generated
  114. by weaving together program fragments from example programs
  115. in the documentation. This capability is integrated with
  116. testsuite generation so that example programs are normal
  117. tests in BoostBook.</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><b>Library
  118. categorization</b></span>: BoostBook contains primitives for
  119. placing libraries into categories and generating categorized
  120. and alphabetized lists of libraries.</p></li></ul></div></div></div><table xmlns:rev="http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~gregod/boost/tools/doc/revision" width="100%"><tr><td align="left"><small>Last revised: , at GMT</small></td><td align="right"><small></small></td></tr></table><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="variant.refs.html"><img src="images/prev.png" alt="Prev"></a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="index.html"><img src="images/up.png" alt="Up"></a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="boostbook.getting.started.html"><img src="images/next.png" alt="Next"></a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">References </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html"><img src="images/home.png" alt="Home"></a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Getting Started</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
