Joel,
Another couple of bug reports, and a couple of feature requests as well
(just tell me when to shut up!).
No, please don't :-)
The [category tag] markup inside the the main [library ..] block
over-writes previous invocations, so for example in BoostBook I can
assign a library to multiple categories (and if you look in boost.xml
you'll see several that make use of this), but if I have:
[library Boost.TypeTraits
[copyright 2000 2005 blah blah]
[purpose Meta-programming support library]
[license blah blah]
[authors [authors, various]]
[category template]
[category generic]
[last-revision $Date: 2005/04/16 16:29:33 $]
]
Then the last [category ...] seen over-writes whatever other invocations
have been made (so the only category in the XML output is "generic" in
this case).
To fix this I tried escaping to BoostBook, but any attempt to put a '''
escape inside a [library ..] block produced quickbook errors.
Definitely a bug. We'll fix this as soon as possible.
BTW I notice that all our license statements seem to contain XML markup:
I've no idea why that works ! :-)
OK, now the (fairly minor) feature requests:
1) Can we have some way to escape characters to represent specific code
points? '\xdd' and '\udddd' feel like the obvious syntax to use.
I'm a bit slow these days. Could you explain a bit more?
2) Can we have support for superscripts and subscripts?
I guess so.
Cheers,
