no html documentation currently - but it can be generated from the markdown
- but I'm guessing it has to look like all the rest in boost - is using
boostBook/quickBook mandatory?

I know there have to be some changes before submitting it for review -
license, docs, tests, boost build for tests (currently only examples).

I just wanted an opinion if this is a direction worth pursuing.

Also I have a bunch of stuff planned in a roadmap

https://github.com/onqtam/doctest/blob/master/doc/markdown/roadmap.md

Do you think something from that list HAS to be implemented before
submitting the library?

Also reddit has exploded -
