Very unhappy. I won't bother with a patch now. Instead here's what I

I like this *very* much! The top section (the Boost banner and the
tabbed links just below it) is *far* better than the previous versions.
I also like the consistent layout with the Boost documentation, making
it have a clear, consistent layout.
I also like the bottom section and the cleaner, simplified menus. However,
in the introduction menu, FireFox clips the bottom of the "Who's using
Boost" section if you highlight over FAQ.
Some of the documentation have inconsistent/odd layouts (I understand that
most of this depends on whether the docs are in HTML or generated from
BoostBook or QuickBook):
* any: the navigation helpers have a border and a grey background when they
should have no border and a white BG.
* wave: ToC is squashed in the center of the page - I would prefer to have
this indented slightly (10%? and have a slight BG color, e.g. #EEE); the
navigation elements are center aligned which is inconsistent with the other
docs.
* spirit: see wave; the preface/icons table doesn't look right; the titles
are duplicated with the spirit logo.
* call traits: I am not too keen on the table colouring being used.
* config: at the top, I am getting "Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in
/export/website/boost/public_html/common/code/archive_file.php on line 215"
Question: why the plus signs in the bullet lists? Bullets mean
bullets; plus signs mean addition (or "collapsible list item"), no?
It seems needlessly unconventional to me.
That's the current, as in the now 1 year old Boost style. It's meant to
refer to C++. But like you say it's not a common bullet style. Bullet
styles are far ranging, I've seen hundreds. Perhaps one of the square
bullet styles would work better :-)
I agree with Dave on this one: the '+' on the bullets make me want to click
on them to expand the item. If you want to use '+', how about:
++ Item 1
++ Item 2
++ Item 3
that way, it has more of a reference to C++ and doesn't make you want to
expand the items. However, using a standard bullet symbol (circle, square,
etc.) would be better.
Great work! Looking forward to seeing this in the main web page and the
BoostBook/QuickBook docs :).
