Joel de Guzman and I are happy to announce the general availability of QuickBook, the mindlessly simple way to generate BoostBook-based documentation. The official home for QuickBook is now boost/tools/quickbook.
<<What is QuickBook?>>
QuickBook is a WikiWiki style documentation tool geared towards C++ documentation using simple rules and markup for simple formatting tasks.
QuickBook extends the WikiWiki concept. Like the WikiWiki, QuickBook documents are simple text files. A single QuickBook document can generate a fully linked set of nice HTML and PostScript/PDF documents complete with images and syntax-colorized source code.
Features include:
* generate BoostBook xml, to generate HTML, PostScript and PDF
* simple markup to link to Doxygen-generated entities
* macro system for simple text substitution
* simple markup for italics, bold, preformatted, blurbs, code
samples, tables, URLs, anchors, images, etc.
* automatic syntax coloring of code samples
* CSS supportFor point of reference, the entire set of xpressive's documentation at: http://boost-sandbox.sf.net/libs/xpressive
was generated from a the single text file:
