Looks good. I look forward to studying it in more detail, but some initial

Nits

1  This is not the 'standard' Boost layout (though I don't seriaouly dislike
it).

(And I note a massive amount of 'clutter' in the source from the
www.software.net html writer).

Makes assumptions about width, and so spaces oddly in places (is left and right
justified - ragged right is easier to read IMHO, despite what all the
self-styled web designers say!).

2 Spelling on section 3 heading "Output Manupulators"

3 doc links to boost example don't work directly which will annoy reviewers.

4 4.3.1.1. separator spelling? inbetween

5 5.3.1.1. boost::io::pairfmt spelling "alowing specialist "

6 Several examples don't use the monospaced for code.

7  I would imbed more of the crucial lines of code from the examples,
overcommented, as well as providing a link to the working example.

8  A 'how to' tutorial would also be invaluable.

| I have moved the documentation over to XML, providing a HTML version of it.
| In doing this, I have made a few revisions and updates to it, including

| I feel the library is ready for review. Any comments?
