Subject: [boost] [Unit Test] formulas in documentation wrong
From: David Walthall (walthall_at_[hidden])

Hello. It appears that some of the math formulas are wrong. E.g.
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/testing-tools/floating_point_comparison.html
has
|u v| |u| |u v| |v|
instead of
| u - v | <= e * |u| or | u - v | <= e * |v|

The documentation seems to have gone wrong between 1.35 and 1.36:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/test/doc/components/test_tools/floating_point_comparison.html
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/testing-tools/floating_point_comparison.html

Thanks,
David
