My grievance with BoostBook's handling of enums goes back a long way (eg., http://tinyurl.com/fn2hj). The following problems are now fixed:

- Doc comments on enum values are no longer ignored. If you bother to add doc comments your enumerations, they'll actually show up in your reference documentation. Imagine that! :-) If you comment your enum values, they will show up as a variable list in the (new!) Description section of your enum reference. See http://tinyurl.com/oo7vm for an example.

- Buggy line-wrap calculation fixed. This was causing enum synopsis to overflow its bounding rectangle, particularly in PDF.

- Bizarre empty comments in synopsis now contain useful information (search for "enum" on http://tinyurl.com/grf7b for example of bug).

I regenerated the boost docs locally and inspected them by hand. Xpressive, Date_time, Program_options and String_algo all benefit from this change, among others, so I went ahead and committed the changes to both HEAD and the RC branch. Enjoy.
