+Explore provides the ability to change the strings used in the container streaming process through the use of several new stream manipulators.
+
+[table Explore Stream Manipulators
+ [[Manipulator] [Default][Description]]
+ [[start(char*)] ['\['] [Changes the string output at the beginning of a container.]]
+ [[end(char*)] ['\]'] [Changes the string output at the end of a container.]]
+ [[seperator(char*)] [', '] [Changes the string output in between elements.]]
+ [[assoc_start(char*)] [''] [Changes the string output at the front of an association.]]
+ [[assoc_end(char*)] [''] [Changes the string output at the end of an association.]]
+ [[assoc_seperator(char*)] [':'] [Changes the string output in between elements of an association.]]
+]
+
+For example, to change the beginning and end output of a container to be the greater and less than symbols, you would do the following.
+
+ std::vector<int> vi;
+ vvi.push_back(1);
+ vvi.push_back(2);

+Boost.explore is a cross-platform C++ library for printing of containers.

+[heading Getting Started]

Boost.explore is a library that provides for the output of data from containers
or ranges.

The following are some simple usage examples:

- //explore supports output for all stl container types
- std::vector<int> vi += {1,2,3}; //boost assign!
- std::cout << vi << std::endl; //prints [1, 2, 3]
- std::stringstream ss;
- print(vi, ss); //prints [1, 2, 3]
+ #include <boost/explore.hpp>
+
+ // simple vector example
+ std::vector<int> vi;
+ vvi.push_back(1);
+ vvi.push_back(2);
+ vvi.push_back(3);
+ std::cout << vi; // prints [1, 2, 3]
+
 //lets do some containers in containers
 std::vector<std::vector<int> > vvi;
 vvi.push_back(vi);
 vvi.push_back(vi);
- std::cout << vi << std::endl; //prints [[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]]
+ std::cout << vi; // prints [[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]]
+
+ // associative containers
 std::map<std::string, int> si_map;
 si_map["hello"] = 1;
 si_map["world"] = 2;
- std::cout << si_map << std::endl; //prints [hello:1, world:2]
- std::list<date> dl; //date from boost::gregorian
+ std::cout << si_map; // prints [hello:1, world:2]
+
+ // containers of complex types
+ std::list<date> dl; // date from boost::gregorian
 dl.push_back(date(2007, Jan, 1));
 dl.push_back(date(2007, Jan, 3));
- //printing of user defined types uses the types operator<< if available
- std::cout << dl << std::endl; //prints [2007-Jan-1, 2007-Jan-3]
- //how about some boost container types:
+ std::cout << dl; // prints [2007-Jan-1, 2007-Jan-3]
+
+ // how about some boost container types:
 boost::array<std::string, 2> sa2;
 sa2[0] = "one";
 sa2[1] = "two";
+ std::cout << sa2; // prints [one, two]

Most of the major concepts and interfaces for this library were developed
at BoostCon 2007. There were many participants in the 8:00 am sessions
that developed the interfaces and concepts. Notably Hartmut Kaiser,

+ C Style Arrays
+ </h4>
+
+ C style arrays have a standard streaming format, however, when you include
+ explore.hpp, you override this default streaming format with the explore streaming
+ format and all the abilities of it.
+ 
+<pre class="programlisting">
+int arr[3] = {1,2,3};
+std::cout << arr;
+</pre>
+
+ prints
+ 
+<pre class="programlisting">
+[1, 2, 3]
+</pre>
+<a name="boost_explore.tutorial.associative_containers"></a><h4>
+<a name="id973210"></a>
+ Associative Containers
+ </h4>
+
+ Associate containers are typically implemented using some form of pair-like
+ container. So you might expect the following
+ 
+<pre class="programlisting">
+std::map<int,std::string> mis;
+mis.insert(std::make_pair(1, "first"));
+mis.insert(std::make_pair(2, "second"));
+mis.insert(std::make_pair(3, "third"));
+std::cout << mis;
+</pre>

- More granular headers are also available under boost/explore.
+ would print this way
 
-<a name="boost_explore.tutorial.customizing_delimiters"></a><h2>
-<a name="id317542"></a>
- Customizing Delimiters
- </h2>
+<pre class="programlisting">
+[[1, first], [2, second], [3, third]]
+</pre>
+
+ But this format doesn't describe the associative nature of the elements well.
+ So, explore uses special delimeters for the associations within associative
+ containers, and the above code prints in a clearer format.
+ 
+<pre class="programlisting">
+[1:first, 2:second, 3:third]
+</pre>

- When printing a container explore users user several delimeters:
+ Currently, the only containers that explore recognizes as associative are:
 
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
<li>
- opening - printed at the start of the container default: '['
+ std::map
 </li>
<li>
- closing - printed at the end of the container default: ']'
- </li>
-<li>
- delimiter - printed between each element default: ', '
+ std::multimap
 </li>
</ul></div>
-<a name="boost_explore.tutorial.printing_of_contained_items"></a><h2>
-<a name="id317573"></a>
- Printing of Contained Items
- </h2>
+
+ Custom containers
+ can be handled as associative containers.
+ 
+<a name="boost_explore.tutorial.lexical_cast"></a><h4>
+<a name="id973674"></a>
+ lexical_cast
+ </h4>
+
+ Because explore works with streaming operators, boost::lexical_cast will work
+ with the explore library to allow you to create strings with the printed output
+ of explore for cases when you don't want to use streaming directly.
+ 
+<pre class="programlisting">
+std::vector<int> vi;
+vvi.push_back(1);
+vvi.push_back(2);
+vvi.push_back(3);
+std::string outVal( boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(vi) );
+</pre>
+
+ outVal equals
+ 
+<pre class="programlisting">
+[1, 2, 3]
+</pre>

 Most of the major concepts and interfaces for this library were developed at
 BoostCon 2007. There were many participants in the 8:00 am sessions that developed
 the interfaces and concepts. Notably Hartmut Kaiser, Joao ???, and Joel De Guzman

+[heading Printing of Contained Items]

+Basic printing of containers requires the inclusing of explore.hpp. Once included, containers can be be streamed in a formated manner.

-When printing a container explore users user several delimeters:
+ [1, 2, 3]

-* opening - printed at the start of the container default: '\['
-* closing - printed at the end of the container default: '\]'
-* delimiter - printed between each element default: ', '
+The beginning of the container will be marked with a '\[' and the end will be marked with a '\]'. Each item in the container will be seperated by a ', ' to allow for easier identification of each item.

+Containers that contain other containers will print the child containers using the same format for the parent, their children, their children's children, etc.

-[h2 Printing of Contained Items]
+ std::vector<std::vector<int> > vvi;
+ vvi.push_back(vi);
+ vvi.push_back(vi);
+ std::cout << vi;

+prints

+ [[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]]

+[heading C Style Arrays]

+C style arrays have a standard streaming format, however, when you include explore.hpp, you override this default streaming format with the explore streaming format and all the abilities of it.

+ int arr[3] = {1,2,3};
+ std::cout << arr;

+prints
+
+ [1, 2, 3]
+
+[heading Associative Containers]
+
+Associate containers are typically implemented using some form of pair-like container. So you might expect the following
+
+ std::map<int,std::string> mis;
+ mis.insert(std::make_pair(1, "first"));
+ mis.insert(std::make_pair(2, "second"));
+ mis.insert(std::make_pair(3, "third"));
+ std::cout << mis;
+
+would print this way
+
+ [[1, first], [2, second], [3, third]]
+
+But this format doesn't describe the associative nature of the elements well. So, explore uses special delimeters for the associations within associative containers, and the above code prints in a clearer format.
+
+ [1:first, 2:second, 3:third]
+
+Currently, the only containers that explore recognizes as associative are:
+
+* std::map
+* std::multimap
+
+[link boost_explore.tutorial.custom_containers Custom containers] can be handled as associative containers.
+
+[heading lexical_cast]
+
+Because explore works with streaming operators, boost::lexical_cast will work with the explore library to allow you to create strings with the printed output of explore for cases when you don't want to use streaming directly.
+
+ std::vector<int> vi;
+ vvi.push_back(1);
+ vvi.push_back(2);
+ vvi.push_back(3);
+ std::string outVal( boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(vi) );
+
+outVal equals
+
+ [1, 2, 3]
