Hi!
I have commited a new proof of concept version of boostbook to
sandbox/doc_test/box_wrapper
The idea is to modify the way docbook renders blurbs and programlisting:
<div class="xxx"> .... </div>
to more flexible structures. All these blocks in box_wrapper version
are rendered like:
<div class="xxx">
<div class="box-outer-wrapper">
<div class="box-top-left" />
<div class="box-top-right" />
<div class="box-top" />
<div class="box-inner-wrapper">
...
</div>
<div class="box-bottom-left" />
<div class="box-bottom-right" />
<div class="box-bottom" />
</div>
</div>
This allows us to do almost anything with them.
If you have firefox (windows or linux) or Konqueror (and I think that
anything in mac too, and maybe ie7) you can see a doc_test xhtml with
a css that uses the box wrappers.
(please! please... read the comment at the end of this mail about
internet explorer 6)

Look for admonitions, toc sections, code listings, tables. This is
just a proof of concept, but I rather like the green turning blocks...
specially the table :)
Comments are welcome!
If someone has some time to test this version of boostbook it will be great!
About internet explorer 6:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ie6 seems to dislike everything that I have done today. I do not know
about the quirks of this browser. If there is someone there that wants
to help me porting this docs to ie6 it will be fantastic. If someones
out there knows web design (I have zero experience... no, two weeks
:P) and wants to see these stuff reach mainstream please jump in and
help me. If you do not know boostbook it is ok. Just download the docs
and tell me what I have to change to make it work. Both the grouped
links and the box wrapper based css seems to fail there. Thanks!
Best regards
Matias
