Well, I don't know the reasons, but Firefox does a fairly poor job of it, at least compared to LaTeX. Well, maybe my biggest complaint has to do with tables, as in http://boost-consulting.com/projects/xpressive/xpressive/creating_a_regex_object.html LaTeX does a bad job there, too :) Can you turn off full justification in tables? >> Also, I think the abbrev "parens" should be changed to the word >> "parentheses" :) > > In QuickBook docs? In xpressive? The xpressive docs. But QuickBook too, if you use "parens" there. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Boost-docs mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe and other administrative requests: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/boost-docs
