Hi John,

Thanks for your research.

Yes and no, there are currently no explicitly 1-dimensional adapted 
features. There are (adaptors for Boost.Ranges) but they are for both 
polygon (2-dim) and linestring (1-rim) and their documentation is still 
lacking.

So I removed the simplelist in the Boost Book XML (which is used for the 
quick-reference). I merged this (this file only) to the release branch, 
so hope you can try it again with this update.

I checked but this was the only empty simplelist (sub-table) in this file.

The strange thing is that this (the empty table) was also the case for 
1.47 (where the PDF was generated successfully). Anyway, hope that this 
will solve it.

Regards, Barend
