I can always write an XSLT file that generates boost-style layout, if 
document format is an issue.

This is from my own XSLT code. The 'www.softwave.net/...' stuff is just my 
own namespace naming. I will look into cleaning it up if this is an issue.

I shall change to left justified format for the paragraphs.

typeo. has been corrected.

Can you give more details? URL, section and version using would be helpful. 
I'll look into it, though.

>4 4.3.1.1. separator spelling? inbetween

Not sure where this is.

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

corrected

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

I think this may be a problem with boost.css settings. I shall look into 
this.

I have an idea on how to do this. I shall post when I have the results.

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

This is on my to do list :-).

Thanks for the feedback.
