Hi all,
Thanks for the feedback. Below, you will find the patches to boost/doc/html/boostbook.css and boost/tools/boostbook/xsl/html.xsl. I am also going to put these in the Files section if you want to grab a copy from there. Here is the status on some of the feedback from the new look and feel:
I've applied these patches so that the new format will appear when the metacomm regression tests are built. These are found at:
http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/index.html
[1] Boost navigation links and "standalone": links are not generated when the doc.standalone parameter is set to 'true'.
Where is this parameter set, and when would it apply?
[2] Navigation arrows at the top: I am working on these :). Don't worry, getting this functionality is high on my priorities. Does anyone know where the code that generates the bottom links is found, to speed up the process?
My (uneducated) guess would be somewhere within the code imported with chunk.xsl, since I think that's what does the segmenting.
[4] Empty TOC's: I am working on removing empty TOCs - this is only in some of the docs (boostbook/doc/html/reference for example).
Boost.Any and Boost.Array docs have some strangeness in this regard, as well.
[4] Table Rendering: I have worked out a CSS approach that does what Volodya has suggested regarding a 'flat' table layout -- what do other people think? NOTE: You can revert back to the 3D look by removing:
[114] table, td, th{ border: 0pc; }
This seems to be being overridden by a 'border="1"' attribute within the table element of some tables; see bbv2.reference.init.html.
[5] Reference::Synopsis (refsynopsisdiv) rendering: This element is rendered as:
<div class = "refsynopsisdiv">
<h2>Synopsis</h2>
boostbook ::== (...)
</div>
which makes it hard to apply programlisting-like rendering to :(. I have modified the XSL:T to render it as:
<h2 class = "refsynopsisdiv">Synopsis</h2>
<div class = "refsynopsisdiv">
boostbook ::== (...)
</div>
Does this break anything? I personally prefer separation of title and body, as it gives greater styling control.
Not that I saw, but I haven't taken a close look at all the docs; I agree with the sentiment though. :-)
