+[section:block Block Level Elements]
+
+[section Document]
+
+Every document must begin with a Document Info section, which should look
+like this:
+
+[pre'''
+[document-type The Document Title
+ [quickbook 1.5]
+ [version 1.0]
+ [id the_document_name]
+ [dirname the_document_dir]
+ [copyright 2000 2002 2003 Joe Blow, Jane Doe]
+ [purpose The document's reason for being]
+ [category The document's category]
+ [authors [Blow, Joe] [Doe, Jane]]
+ [license The document's license]
+ [source-mode source-type]
+]
+''']
+
+Where document-type is one of:
+
+* book
+* article
+* library
+* chapter
+* part
+* appendix
+* preface
+* qandadiv
+* qandaset
+* reference
+* set
+
+quickbook 1.5 declares the version of quickbook the document is written for.
+In its absence, version 1.1 is assumed.
+
+=version=, =id=, =dirname=, =copyright=, =purpose=, =category=, =authors=,
+=license=, =last-revision= and =source-mode= are optional information.
+
+=dirname=, =purpose= and =category= are boostbook attributes which are only
+valid for =library= documents. If you use them for other document types,
+quickbook will warn about them, but still use them, generating invalid markup,
+that's just ignored by the style sheets.
+
+=source-type= is a lowercase string setting the initial __source_mode__. If
+the =source-mode= field is omitted, a default value of =c++= will be used.
+
+[endsect] [/Document]
+
+[section Section]
+
+Starting a new section is accomplished with:
+
+[pre'''
+[section:id The Section Title]
+''']
+
+where /id/ is optional. id will be the filename of the generated section.
+If it is not present, "The Section Title" will be normalized and become the id.
+Valid characters are =a-Z=, =A-Z=, =0-9= and =_=. All non-valid characters are
+converted to underscore and all upper-case are converted to lower case.
+Thus: "The Section Title" will be normalized to "the_section_title".
+
+End a section with:
+
+[pre'''
+[endsect]
+''']
+
+Sections can nest, and that results in a hierarchy in the table of contents.
+
+[endsect] [/Section]
+
+[section xinclude]
+
+You can include another XML file with:
+
+[pre'''
+[xinclude file.xml]
+''']
+
+This is useful when file.xml has been generated by Doxygen and contains your
+reference section.
+
+[endsect] [/xinclude]
+
+[section Paragraphs]
+
+Paragraphs start left-flushed and are terminated by two or more newlines. No
+markup is needed for paragraphs. QuickBook automatically detects paragraphs from
+the context. Block markups \[section, endsect, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, blurb,
+(block-quote) ':', pre, def, table and include \] may also terminate a paragraph.
+ [/ <-- There's a space here. Don't remove. this is intentianal, for testing]
+This is a new paragraph...
+
+[endsect] [/Paragraphs]
+
+[section Lists]
+[section Ordered lists]
+
+[pre
+# One
+# Two
+# Three
+]
+
+will generate:
+
+# One
+# Two
+# Three
+
+[endsect] [/Ordered lists]
+[section List Hierarchies]
+
+List hierarchies are supported. Example:
+
+[pre
+# One
+# Two
+# Three
+ # Three.a
+ # Three.b
+ # Three.c
+# Four
+ # Four.a
+ # Four.a.i
+ # Four.a.ii
+# Five
+]
+
+will generate:
+
+# One
+# Two
+# Three
+ # Three.a
+ # Three.b
+ # Three.c
+# Fourth
+ # Four.a
+ # Four.a.i
+ # Four.a.ii
+# Five
+
+[endsect] [/List Hierarchies]
+[section Long List Lines]
+
+Long lines will be wrapped appropriately. Example:
+
+[pre
+# A short item.
+# A very long item. A very long item. A very long item.
+ A very long item. A very long item. A very long item.
+ A very long item. A very long item. A very long item.
+ A very long item. A very long item. A very long item.
+ A very long item. A very long item. A very long item.
+# A short item.
+]
+
+# A short item.
+# A very long item. A very long item. A very long item.
+ A very long item. A very long item. A very long item.
+ A very long item. A very long item. A very long item.
+ A very long item. A very long item. A very long item.
+ A very long item. A very long item. A very long item.
+# A short item.
+
+[endsect] [/Long list lines]
+[section Unordered lists]
+
+[pre'''
+* First
+* Second
+* Third
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+* First
+* Second
+* Third
+
+[endsect] [/Unordered lists]
+[section Mixed lists]
+
+Mixed lists (ordered and unordered) are supported. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+# One
+# Two
+# Three
+ * Three.a
+ * Three.b
+ * Three.c
+# Four
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+# One
+# Two
+# Three
+ * Three.a
+ * Three.b
+ * Three.c
+# Four
+
+And...
+
+[pre'''
+# 1
+ * 1.a
+ # 1.a.1
+ # 1.a.2
+ * 1.b
+# 2
+ * 2.a
+ * 2.b
+ # 2.b.1
+ # 2.b.2
+ * 2.b.2.a
+ * 2.b.2.b
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+# 1
+ * 1.a
+ # 1.a.1
+ # 1.a.2
+ * 1.b
+# 2
+ * 2.a
+ * 2.b
+ # 2.b.1
+ # 2.b.2
+ * 2.b.2.a
+ * 2.b.2.b
+
+[endsect] [/Mixed lists]
+[endsect] [/Lists]
+
+[section Code]
+
+Preformatted code starts with a space or a tab. The code will be
+syntax highlighted according to the current __source_mode__:
+
+[c++]
+
+ #include <iostream>
+
+ int main()
+ {
+ // Sample code
+ std::cout << "Hello, World\n";
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+[python]
+
+ import cgi
+
+ def cookForHtml(text):
+ '''"Cooks" the input text for HTML.'''
+
+ return cgi.escape(text)
+
+[teletype]
+
+Macros that are already defined are expanded in source code. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[def __array__ [@http://www.boost.org/doc/html/array/reference.html array]]
+[def __boost__ [@http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm boost]]
+
+ using __boost__::__array__;
+''']
+
+Generates:
+
+[def __array__ [@http://www.boost.org/doc/html/array/reference.html array]]
+[def __boost__ [@http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm boost]]
+
+ using __boost__::__array__;
+
+[endsect] [/Code]
+
+[section:escape_back Escaping Back To QuickBook]
+
+Inside code, code blocks and inline code, QuickBook does not allow any
+markup to avoid conflicts with the target syntax (e.g. c++). In case you
+need to switch back to QuickBook markup inside code, you can do so using a
+language specific /escape-back/ delimiter. In C++ and Python, the delimiter
+is the double tick (back-quote): "\`\`" and "\`\`". Example:
+
+[pre'''
+void ``[@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo#Foo.2C_Bar_and_Baz foo]``()
+{
+}
+''']
+
+Will generate:
+
+ void ``[@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo#Foo.2C_Bar_and_Baz foo]``()
+ {
+ }
+
+When escaping from code to QuickBook, only phrase level markups are
+allowed. Block level markups like lists, tables etc. are not allowed.
+
+[endsect] [/Escaping back to quickbook]
+
+[section Preformatted]
+
+Sometimes, you don't want some preformatted text to be parsed as C++. In such
+cases, use the [^[pre ... \]] markup block.
+
+[pre'''
+[pre
+
+ Some *preformatted* text Some *preformatted* text
+
+ Some *preformatted* text Some *preformatted* text
+
+ Some *preformatted* text Some *preformatted* text
+
+]
+''']
+
+Spaces, tabs and newlines are rendered as-is. Unlike all quickbook block level
+markup, pre (and Code) are the only ones that allow multiple newlines. The
+markup above will generate:
+
+[pre
+
+Some *preformatted* text Some *preformatted* text
+
+ Some *preformatted* text Some *preformatted* text
+
+ Some *preformatted* text Some *preformatted* text
+
+]
+
+Notice that unlike Code, phrase markup such as font style is still permitted
+inside =pre= blocks.
+
+[endsect] [/Preformatted]
+
+[section Blockquote]
+
+[pre
+'''[:sometext...]'''
+]
+
+[:Indents the paragraph. This applies to one paragraph only.]
+
+[endsect] [/Blockquote]
+
+[section Admonitions]
+
+[pre'''
+[note This is a note]
+[tip This is a tip]
+[important This is important]
+[caution This is a caution]
+[warning This is a warning]
+''']
+
+generates __docbook__ admonitions:
+
+[note This is a note]
+[tip This is a tip]
+[important This is important]
+[caution This is a caution]
+[warning This is a warning]
+
+These are the only admonitions supported by __docbook__. So,
+for example [^\[information This is some information\]] is unlikely
+to produce the desired effect.
+
+[endsect] [/Admonitions]
+
+[section Headings]
+
+[pre'''
+[h1 Heading 1]
+[h2 Heading 2]
+[h3 Heading 3]
+[h4 Heading 4]
+[h5 Heading 5]
+[h6 Heading 6]
+''']
+
+[h1 Heading 1]
+[h2 Heading 2]
+[h3 Heading 3]
+[h4 Heading 4]
+[h5 Heading 5]
+[h6 Heading 6]
+
+Headings 1-3 \[h1 h2 and h3\] will automatically have anchors with
+normalized names with
+[^name="document_id.section_id.normalized_header_text"] (i.e. valid
+characters are =a-z=, =A-Z=, =0-9= and =_=. All non-valid characters are
+converted to underscore and all upper-case are converted to lower-case.
+For example: Heading 1 in section Section 2 will be normalized to
+[^section_2.heading_1]). You can use:
+
+[pre'''
+[link document_id.section_id.normalized_header_text The link text]
+''']
+
+to link to them. See __anchor_links__ and __section__ for more info.
+
+[endsect] [/Headings]
+
+[section Generic Heading]
+
+In cases when you don't want to care about the heading level (1 to 6), you
+can use the /Generic Heading/:
+
+[pre'''
+[heading Heading]
+''']
+
+The /Generic Heading/ assumes the level, plus one, of the innermost section
+where it is placed. For example, if it is placed in the outermost section,
+then, it assumes /h2/.
+
+Headings are often used as an alternative to sections. It is used
+particularly if you do not want to start a new section. In many cases,
+however, headings in a particular section is just flat. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[section A]
+[h2 X]
+[h2 Y]
+[h2 Z]
+[endsect]
+''']
+
+Here we use h2 assuming that section A is the outermost level. If it is
+placed in an inner level, you'll have to use h3, h4, etc. depending on
+where the section is. In general, it is the section level plus one. It is
+rather tedious, however, to scan the section level everytime. If you
+rewrite the example above as shown below, this will be automatic:
+
+[pre'''
+[section A]
+[heading X]
+[heading Y]
+[heading Z]
+[endsect]
+''']
+
+They work well regardless where you place them. You can rearrange sections
+at will without any extra work to ensure correct heading levels. In fact,
+with /section/ and /heading/, you have all you need. /h1/../h6/ becomes
+redundant. /h1/../h6/ might be deprecated in the future.
+
+[endsect] [/Generic Heading]
+
+[section Macros]
+
+[pre'''
+[def macro_identifier some text]
+''']
+
+When a macro is defined, the identifier replaces the text anywhere in the
+file, in paragraphs, in markups, etc. macro_identifier is a string of non-
+white space characters except '\]'. A macro may not follow an alphabetic
+character or the underscore. The replacement text can be any phrase (even
+marked up). Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[def sf_logo [$http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=28447&amp;type=1]]
+sf_logo
+''']
+
+Now everywhere the sf_logo is placed, the picture will be inlined.
+
+[def sf_logo [$http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=28447&type=1]]
+sf_logo
+
+[tip It's a good idea to use macro identifiers that are distinguishable.
+For instance, in this document, macro identifiers have two leading and
+trailing underscores (e.g. [^'''__spirit__''']). The reason is to avoid
+unwanted macro replacement.]
+
+Links (URLS) and images are good candidates for macros. *1*) They tend to
+change a lot. It is a good idea to place all links and images in one place near the top
+to make it easy to make changes. *2*) The syntax is not pretty. It's easier to read and
+write, e.g. [^'''__spirit__'''] than [^'''[@http://spirit.sourceforge.net Spirit]'''].
+
+Some more examples:
+
+[pre'''
+[def :-) [$theme/smiley.png]]
+[def __spirit__ [@http://spirit.sourceforge.net Spirit]]
+''']
+
+(See __images__ and __links__)
+
+Invoking these macros:
+
+[pre'''
+Hi __spirit__ :-)
+''']
+
+will generate this:
+
+Hi __spirit__ :-)
+
+[endsect] [/Macros]
+
+[section Predefined Macros]
+
+Quickbook has some predefined macros that you can already use.
+
+[table Predefined Macros
+ [[Macro] [Meaning] [Example]]
+ [['''__DATE__'''] [Today's date] [__DATE__]]
+ [['''__TIME__'''] [The current time] [__TIME__]]
+ [['''__FILENAME__'''] [Quickbook source filename] [__FILENAME__]]
+]
+
+[endsect] [/Predefined Macros]
+
+[section Templates]
+
+Templates provide a more versatile text substitution mechanism. Templates
+come in handy when you need to create parameterizable, multi-line,
+boilerplate text that you specify once and expand many times. Templates
+accept one or more arguments. These arguments act like place-holders for
+text replacement. Unlike simple macros, which are limited to phrase level
+markup, templates can contain block level markup (e.g. paragraphs, code
+blocks and tables).
+
+Example template:
+
+[pre'''
+[template person[name age what]
+
+Hi, my name is [name]. I am [age] years old. I am a [what].
+
+]
+''']
+
+[template person[name age what]
+
+Hi, my name is [name]. I am [age] years old. I am a [what].
+
+]
+
+[heading Template Identifier]
+
+Template identifiers can either consist of:
+
+* An initial alphabetic character or the underscore, followed by
+ zero or more alphanumeric characters or the underscore. This is
+ similar to your typical C/C++ identifier.
+* A single character punctuation (a non-alphanumeric printable character)
+
+[heading Formal Template Arguments]
+
+Template formal arguments are identifiers consisting of an initial
+alphabetic character or the underscore, followed by zero or more
+alphanumeric characters or the underscore. This is similar to your typical
+C/C++ identifier.
+
+A template formal argument temporarily hides a template of the same name at
+the point where the [link quickbook.block.templates.template_expansion
+template is expanded]. Note that the body of the [^person] template above
+refers to [^name] [^age] and [^what] as [^\[name\]] [^\[age\]] and
+[^\[what\]]. [^name] [^age] and [^what] are actually templates that exist
+in the duration of the template call.
+
+[heading Template Body]
+
+The template body can be just about any QuickBook block or phrase. There
+are actually two forms. Templates may be phrase or block level. Phrase
+templates are of the form:
+
+[pre'''
+[template sample[arg1 arg2...argN] replacement text... ]
+''']
+
+Block templates are of the form:
+
+[pre'''
+[template sample[arg1 arg2...argN]
+replacement text...
+]
+''']
+
+The basic rule is as follows: if a newline immediately follows the argument
+list, then it is a block template, otherwise, it is a phrase template.
+Phrase templates are typically expanded as part of phrases. Like macros,
+block level elements are not allowed in phrase templates.
+
+[heading Template Expansion]
+
+You expand a template this way:
+
+[pre'''
+[template_identifier arg1..arg2..arg3]
+''']
+
+At template expansion, you supply the actual arguments. The template will
+be expanded with your supplied arguments. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[person James Bond..39..Spy]
+[person Santa Clause..87..Big Red Fatso]
+''']
+
+Which will expand to:
+
+[person James Bond..39..Spy]
+[person Santa Clause..87..Big Red Fatso]
+
+[caution A word of caution: Templates are recursive. A template can call
+another template or even itself, directly or indirectly. There are no
+control structures in QuickBook (yet) so this will always mean infinite
+recursion. QuickBook can detect this situation and report an error if
+recursion exceeds a certain limit.]
+
+Each actual argument can be a word, a text fragment or just about any [link
+quickbook.phrase QuickBook phrase]. Arguments are separated by the
+double dot [^".."] and terminated by the close parenthesis.
+
+[heading Nullary Templates]
+
+Nullary templates look and act like simple macros. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[template alpha[]&apos;&apos;&apos;&amp;#945;&apos;&apos;&apos;]
+[template beta[]&apos;&apos;&apos;&amp;#946;&apos;&apos;&apos;]
+''']
+
+[template alpha[]'''&#945;''']
+[template beta[]'''&#946;''']
+
+Expanding:
+
+[pre'''Some squigles...[*[alpha][beta]]''']
+
+We have:
+
+Some squiggles...[*[alpha][beta]]
+
+The difference with macros are
+
+* The explicit [link quickbook.block.templates.template_expansion
+ template expansion syntax]. This is an advantage because, now, we don't
+ have to use obscure naming conventions like double underscores (e.g.
+ \_\_alpha\_\_) to avoid unwanted
+ macro replacement.
+* The template is expanded at the point where it is invoked. A macro is
+ expanded immediately at its point of declaration. This is subtle and
+ can cause a slight difference in behavior especially if you refer to
+ other macros and templates in the body.
+
+The empty brackets after the template identifier ([^alpha\[\]]) indicates no
+arguments. If the template body does not look like a template argument list, we
+can elide the empty brackets. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[template aristotle_quote Aristotle: [*['Education is the best provision
+for the journey to old age.]]]
+''']
+
+[template aristotle_quote\ Aristotle: [*['Education is the best provision
+for the journey to old age.]]]
+
+Expanding:
+
+[pre'''
+Here's a quote from [aristotle_quote].
+''']
+
+We have:
+
+Here's a quote from [aristotle_quote].
+
+The disadvantage is that you can't avoid the space between the template
+identifier, `aristotle_quote`, and the template body "Aristotle...". This space
+will be part of the template body. If that space is unwanted, use empty
+brackets or use the space escape: "`\ `". Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[template tag\ _tag]
+''']
+
+[template tag\ _tag]
+
+Then expanding:
+
+[pre'''
+`struct` x[tag];
+''']
+
+We have:
+
+`struct` x[tag];
+
+You have a couple of ways to do it. I personally prefer the explicit empty
+brackets, though.
+
+[heading Simple Arguments]
+
+As mentioned, arguments are separated by the double dot [^".."]. Alternatively,
+if the double dot isn't used and more than one argument is expected, QuickBook
+uses whitespace to separate the arguments, following this logic:
+
+* Break the last argument into two, at the first space found ([^'', '\\n',
+ \\t' or '\\r']).
+* Repeat until there are enough arguments or if there are no more spaces
+ found (in which case, an error is reported).
+
+For example:
+
+[pre'''
+[template simple[a b c d] [a][b][c][d]]
+[simple w x y z]
+''']
+
+will produce:
+
+[template simple[a b c d] [a][b][c][d]]
+[simple w x y z]
+
+"w x y z" is initially treated as a single argument because we didn't
+supply any [^".."] separators. However, since [^simple] expects 4
+arguments, "w x y z" is broken down iteratively (applying the logic above)
+until we have "w", "x", "y" and "z".
+
+QuickBook only tries to get the arguments it needs. For example:
+
+[pre'''
+[simple w x y z trail]
+''']
+
+will produce:
+
+[simple w x y z trail]
+
+The arguments being: "w", "x", "y" and "z trail".
+
+[caution The behavior described here is for QuickBook 1.5. In older versions you
+could use both the double dot and whitespace as separators in the same template
+call. If your document is marked up as an older version, it will use the old
+behavior, which is described in the
+[@http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/doc/html/quickbook/syntax.html#quickbook.block.templates.simple_arguments
+QuickBook 1.4 documentation].]
+
+[heading Punctuation Templates]
+
+With templates, one of our objectives is to allow us to rewrite QuickBook
+in QuickBook (as a qbk library). For that to happen, we need to accommodate
+single character punctuation templates which are fairly common in
+QuickBook. You might have noticed that single character punctuations are
+allowed as [link quickbook.block.templates.template_identifier
+template identifiers]. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[template ![bar] '''<hey>'''[bar]'''</hey>''']
+''']
+
+Now, expanding this:
+
+[pre'''
+[!baz]
+''']
+
+We will have:
+
+[pre
+<hey>baz</hey>
+]

+[section Tables]
+
+[pre'''
+[table:id A Simple Table
+ [[Heading 1] [Heading 2] [Heading 3]]
+ [[R0-C0] [R0-C1] [R0-C2]]
+ [[R1-C0] [R1-C1] [R1-C2]]
+ [[R2-C0] [R2-C1] [R2-C2]]
+]
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+[table:id A Simple Table
+ [[Heading 1] [Heading 2] [Heading 3]]
+ [[R0-C0] [R0-C1] [R0-C2]]
+ [[R1-C0] [R1-C1] [R1-C2]]
+ [[R2-C0] [R2-C1] [R2-C2]]
+]
+
+The table title is optional. The first row of the table is automatically
+treated as the table header; that is, it is wrapped in [^<thead>...</thead>]
+XML tags. Note that unlike the original QuickDoc, the columns are nested in
+[cells... ].
+
+Giving tables an id is a new feature for quickbook 1.5 onwards. As with
+sections, the id is optional. If the table has a title but no id, an id will
+be generated from the title. The table above can be linked to using:
+
+[pre'''
+[link quickbook.block.tables.id link to table]
+''']
+
+which will generate:
+
+[link quickbook.block.tables.id link to table]
+
+The syntax is free-format and allows big cells to be formatted
+nicely. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[table Table with fat cells
+ [[Heading 1] [Heading 2]]
+ [
+ [Row 0, Col 0: a small cell]

+
+and thus:

+ [Row 0, Col 0: a small cell]
+ [
+ Row 0, Col 1: a big fat cell with paragraphs

+
+Here's how to have preformatted blocks of code in a table cell:

+[pre'''
+[table Table with code
+ [[Comment] [Code]]
+ [
+ [My first program]
+ ['''\`\`
+ #include <iostream>
+
+ int main()
+ {
+ std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
+ return 0;
+ }
+ \`\`''']
+ ]
+]
+''']
+
+[table Table with code
+ [[Comment] [Code]]
+ [
+ [My first program]
+ [``
+ #include <iostream>
+
+ int main()
+ {
+ std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
+ return 0;
+ }
+ ``]
+ ]
+]
+
+[endsect] [/Tables]
+
+[section Variable Lists]
+
+[pre'''
+[variablelist A Variable List
+ [[term 1] [The definition of term 1]]
+ [[term 2] [The definition of term 2]]
+ [[term 3] [
+ The definition of term 3.
+
+ Definitions may contain paragraphs.
+ ]]
+]
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+[variablelist A Variable List
+ [[term 1] [The definition of term 1]]
+ [[term 2] [The definition of term 2]]
+ [[term 3] [
+ The definition of term 3.
+
+ Definitions may contain paragraphs.
+ ]]
+]
+
+The rules for variable lists are the same as for tables, except that
+only 2 "columns" are allowed. The first column contains the terms, and
+the second column contains the definitions. Those familiar with HTML
+will recognize this as a "definition list".
+
+[endsect] [/Variable Lists]
+
+[section Include]
+
+You can include one QuickBook file from another. The syntax is simply:
+
+[pre'''
+[include someother.qbk]
+''']
+
+The included file will be processed as if it had been cut and pasted
+into the current document, with the following exceptions:
+
+* The '''__FILENAME__''' predefined macro will reflect the name of the
+ file currently being processed.
+* Any macros defined in the included file are scoped to that file.
+
+The [^\[include\]] directive lets you specify a document id to use for the
+included file. When this id is not explicitly specified, the id defaults to
+the filename ("someother", in the example above). You can specify the id
+like this:
+
+[pre'''
+[include:someid someother.qbk]
+''']
+
+All auto-generated anchors will use the document id as a unique prefix. So
+for instance, if there is a top section in someother.qbk named "Intro", the
+named anchor for that section will be "someid.intro", and you can link to
+it with [^\[link someid.intro The Intro\]].
+
+[endsect] [/Include]
+
+[section Import]
+
+When documenting code, you'd surely need to present code from actual source
+files. While it is possible to copy some code and paste them in your QuickBook
+file, doing so is error prone and the extracted code in the documentation tends
+to get out of sync with the actual code as the code evolves. The problem, as
+always, is that once documentation is written, the tendency is for the docs to
+languish in the archives without maintenance.
+
+QuickBook's import facility provides a nice solution.
+
+[heading Example]
+
+You can effortlessly import code snippets from source code into your QuickBook.
+The following illustrates how this is done:
+
+[pre'''
+[import ../test/stub.cpp]
+[foo]
+[bar]
+''']
+
+The first line:
+
+[pre'''
+[import ../test/stub.cpp]
+''']
+
+collects specially marked-up code snippets from
+[@boost:/tools/quickbook/test/stub.cpp stub.cpp]
+and places them in your QuickBook file as virtual templates. Each of the
+specially marked-up code snippets has a name (e.g. `foo` and `bar` in the
+example above). This shall be the template identifier for that particular code
+snippet. The second and third line above does the actual template expansion:
+
+[pre'''
+[foo]
+[bar]
+''']
+
+And the result is:
+
+[import ../test/stub.cpp]
+[foo]
+[bar]
+
+[heading Code Snippet Markup]
+
+Note how the code snippets in [@boost:/tools/quickbook/test/stub.cpp stub.cpp]
+get marked up. We use distinguishable comments following the form:
+
+ //[id
+ some code here
+ //]
+
+The first comment line above initiates a named code-snippet. This prefix will
+not be visible in quickbook. The entire code-snippet in between `//[id` and
+`//]` will be inserted as a template in quickbook with name ['/id/]. The comment
+`//]` ends a code-snippet This too will not be visible in quickbook.
+
+[heading Special Comments]
+
+Special comments of the form:
+
+ //` some [*quickbook] markup here
+
+and:
+
+ /*` some [*quickbook] markup here */
+
+will be parsed by QuickBook. This can contain quickbook /blocks/ (e.g. sections,
+paragraphs, tables, etc). In the first case, the initial slash-slash, tick and
+white-space shall be ignored. In the second, the initial slash-star-tick and the
+final star-slash shall be ignored.
+
+Special comments of the form:
+
+ /*<- this C++ comment will be ignored ->*/
+
+or
+
+ /*<-*/ "this c++ code will be ignored" /*->*/
+
+or
+
+ //<-
+ private:
+ int some_member;
+ //->
+
+can be used to inhibit code from passing through to quickbook. All text between
+the delimeters will simply be ignored.
+
+[heading Callouts]
+
+Special comments of the form:
+
+ /*< some [*quickbook] markup here >*/
+
+will be regarded as callouts. These will be collected, numbered and
+rendered as a "callout bug" (a small icon with a number). After the
+whole snippet is parsed, the callout list is generated. See
+[@http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/callout.html Callouts] for details.
+Example:
+
+[foo_bar]
+
+This is the actual code:
+
+ //[ foo_bar
+ std::string foo_bar() /*< The /Mythical/ FooBar.
+ See [@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foobar Foobar for details] >*/
+ {
+ return "foo-bar"; /*< return 'em, foo-bar man! >*/
+ }
+ //]
+
+The callouts bugs are placed exactly where the special callout comment
+is situated. It can be anywhere in the code. The bugs can be rather
+obtrusive, however. They get in the way of the clarity of the code.
+Another special callout comment style is available:
+
+ /*<< some [*quickbook] markup here >>*/
+
+This is the line-oriented version of the callout. With this, the "bug"
+is placed at the very left of the code block, away from the actual code.
+By placing it at the far left, the code is rendered un-obscured.
+Example:
+
+[class_]
+
+See the actual code here: [@boost:/tools/quickbook/test/stub.cpp]

+
+[section:change_log Change Log]
+
+[h3 Version 1.3]
+
+* Quickbook file inclusion \[include\].
+* Better xml output (pretty layout). Check out the generated XML.
+* Regression testing facility: to make sure your document will always be
+ compatible (full backward compatibility) regardless of changes to
+ QuickBook.
+* Code cleanup and refactoring.
+* Allow phrase markup in the doc-info.
+* Preformatted code blocks via \`\`code\`\` (double ticks) allows code in tables
+ and lists, for example.
+* Quickbook versioning; allows full backward compatibility. You have to add
+ \[quickbook 1.3\] to the doc-info header to enable the new features. Without
+ this, QuickBook will assume that the document is a pre-1.3 document.
+* Better (intuitive) paragraph termination. Some markups may terminate a paragraph.
+ Example:``
+ [section x]
+ blah...
+ [endsect]``
+* Fully qualified section and headers. Subsection names are concatenated to the
+ ID to avoid clashing. Example: `doc_name.sect_name.sub_sect_name.sub_sub_sect_name`
+* Better &nbsp; and whitespace handling in code snippets.
+* \[xinclude\] fixes up the relative path to the target XML file when
+ input_directory is not the same as the output_directory.
+* Allow untitled tables.
+* Allow phrase markups in section titles.
+* Allow escaping back to QuickBook from code, code blocks and inline code.
+* Footnotes, with the \[footnote This is the footnote\] syntax.
+* Post-processor bug fix for escaped XML code that it does not recognize.
+* Replaceable, with the \[~replacement\] syntax.
+
+[h3 Version 1.4]
+
+* Generic Headers
+* Code changes to allow full recursion (i.e. Collectors and push/pop functions)
+* Various code cleanup/maintenance
+* Templates!
+* \[conceptref\] for referencing BoostBook <concept> entities.
+* Allow escape of spaces. The escaped space is removed from the output. Syntax:
+ `\ `.
+* Nested comments are now allowed.
+* Quickbook blocks can nest inside comments.
+* __import__ facility.
+* Callouts on imported code
+* Simple markups can now span a whole block.
+* __blurbs__, __admonitions__ and table cells (see __tables__) may now
+ contain paragraphs.
+* `\n` and `[br]` are now deprecated.
+* __cond__. Ala C++ #ifdef.
+* Searching of included and imported files in an extensible search path with
+ `--include-path` (`-I`) option.
+
+[h3 Version 1.5]
+
+* Support multiple copyright entrys in document info.
+* Improved SVG support.
+* \[globalref\] for referencing BoostBook <global> entities.
+* Fail on error.
+* Fix crash for templates with too many arguments or trailing space.
+* Improved handling of unexpected characters in code blocks.
+* Improved handling of unmatched escape in code blocks.
+* Support for python snippets.
+* `teletype` source mode.
+* Use static scoping in templates, should be a lot more intuitive.
+* Accept a space between `section:` and the section id.
+* Support table ids.
+
+[h3 Version 1.5.1 - Boost 1.43.0]
+
+* Improve the post processor's list of block elements. `table`, `entry` and
+ `varlistentry` are treated as blocks. `replaceable` is treated as an inline
+ element.
+* Check that `[section]` and `[endsect]` tags are balanced in templates.
+* Add unicode escape characters, eg. `\u03B1` for \u03B1.
+* Support UTF-8 files with a unicode byte order mark.
+* Disallow `[` in simple markup. Fixes some errors with mismatched punctuation.
+* Add command line flag to define macros at the command line,
+ e.g. `quickbook "-D__italic_foo__=/foo/"`.
+
+[h3 Version 1.5.2 - Boost 1.44.0]
+
+* Use the cygwin 1.7 API for better path handling.
+* Improved boostbook generation:
+ * XML encode the documentation info correctly.
+ * Avoid generating empty paragraphs.
+ * No longer wraps block templates in paragraphs.
+ * Warns if you use invalid doc_info members for docbook document types.
+ * Fixes some other causes of invalid boostbook, although it still
+ generates invalid boostbook in places.
+* Improved grammar:
+ * Supports multiple categories in library doc_info.
+ * No longer requires commas between authors in docinfo.
+ * Allows empty document bodies.
+ * A line containing only a comment is no longer interpreted as a
+ paragraph break.
+ * If a line starts with a comment, interpret it as a paragraph even if it's
+ followed by whitespace or a list character.
+ * Doesn't treat several consecutive blank lines as multiple paragraph breaks.
+* Fixes duplicate image attribute detection.
+* Fixes using code snippets more than once.
+* Early work on quickbook 1.6, available using the `[quickbook 1.6]` version switch,
+ but liable to change in future versions.
+ * When automatically generating ids for headers, use the quickbook
+ source, rather than the generated docbook.
+ * Fix id generation in included files. It wasn't correctly using the
+ main document's documentation id.
+ * Correctly restore the quickbook version switch after including a file
+ with a different version.
+
+[h3 Version 1.5.3 - Boost 1.45.0]
+
+* Fix command line flag for defining macros.
+* Fix a couple of issues with the code block parser:
+ * A comment with no indentation will now end a code block.
+ * Code blocks no longer have to be followed by a blank line.
+* Improved tracking of file position in templates and imported code blocks.
+* Better generated markup for callout lists.
+* In docbook, variable list entries can only have one `listitem`, so if an
+ entry has multiple values, merge them into one `listitem`.
+* Support nested code snippets.
+* Support nested blocks in document info comments.
+* Revert xml escaping document info, it broke some documentation files
+ (now a 1.6 feature).
+* Further work on quickbook 1.6, still not stable.
+ * Allow heading to have ids, using the syntax: `[heading:id title]`.
+ * XML escape documentation fields, with escapes to allow encoding unicode
+ in ASCII.
+
+[heading Version 1.5.4 - Boost 1.46.0]
+
+* Add support for `lang` attribute in documentation info.
+* Improved anchor implementation. Especially for using an anchor
+ before a section or heading.
+* Fixed some more issues where lines containing comments were treated
+ as blank lines.
+* Allow import, include and xinclude in conditional phrases. Will
+ allow more block elements in a future version.
+* Rearrange the structure of the grammar.
+* Use filesystem 3. Remove cygwin support.

+
+[heading Can I use QuickBook for non-Boost documentation?]
+
+QuickBook can be used for non-Boost documentation with a little extra work.
+
+[:['Faq contributed by Michael Marcin]]
+
+When building HTML documentation with BoostBook a Boost C++ Libraries header
+is added to the files. When using QuickBook to document projects outside of
+Boost this is not desirable. This behavior can be overridden at the BoostBook
+level by specifying some XSLT options. When using Boost Build version 2 (BBv2)
+this can be achieved by adding parameters to the BoostBook target declaration.
+
+For example:
+[pre
+using quickbook ;
+
+xml my_doc : my_doc.qbk ;
+
+boostbook standalone
+ :
+ my_doc
+ :
+ <xsl:param>boost.image.src\=images/my_project_logo.png
+ <xsl:param>boost.image.alt\="\\"My Project\\""
+ <xsl:param>boost.image.w=100
+ <xsl:param>boost.image.h=50
+ <xsl:param>nav.layout=none
+ ;
+]
+
+[heading Is there an easy way to convert BoostBook docs to QuickBook?]
+
+There's a stylesheet that allows Boostbook generated HTML to be viewed
+as quickbook source, see
+[@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/QuickbookSourceStylesheetProject],
+so it's then just a cut and paste job to convert the BoostBook to
+QuickBook (which IMO is a whole lot easier to edit and maintain).

+[section:install Installation and configuration]
+
+This section provides some guidelines on how to install and configure
+BoostBook and Quickbook under several operating systems. Before installing
+you'll need a local copy of boost, and to install the version of `bjam`
+which comes with it (or a later version).
+
+[/ I don't think this is needed any more]
+[/
+Before continuing, it is very important that you keep this in mind: if you
+try to build some documents and the process breaks due to misconfiguration,
+be absolutely sure to delete any `bin` and `bin.v2` directories generated
+by the build before trying again. Otherwise your configuration fixes will
+not take any effect.
+]
+
+[section:macosx Mac OS X]
+
+The simplest way to install on OS X is to use macports.
+If you don't want to use macports and are using Snow Leopard or later,
+there are instructions [link quickbook.install.macosx.native later].
+Earlier versions of OS X need to use something like macports to install
+`xsltproc` because the version they come with is very old, and doesn't have
+good enough XSL support for boostbook's stylesheets.
+
+[section:macports Mac OS X, using macports]
+
+First install the `libxslt`, `docbook-xsl` and `docbook-xml-4.2`
+packages:
+
+ sudo port install libxslt docbook-xsl docbook-xml-4.2
+
+Next, we need to configure Boost Build to compile BoostBook files. Add the
+following to your `user-config.jam` file, which should be in your home
+directory. If you don't have one, create a file containing this text. For more
+information on setting up `user-config.jam`, see the
+[@http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html Boost
+Build documentation].
+
+ using xsltproc
+ : /opt/local/bin/xsltproc
+ ;
+
+ using boostbook
+ : /opt/local/share/xsl/docbook-xsl/
+ : /opt/local/share/xml/docbook/4.2
+ ;
+
+The above steps are enough to get a functional BoostBook setup. Quickbook
+will be automatically built when needed. If you want to avoid these
+rebuilds:
+
+# Go to Quickbook's source directory (`BOOST_ROOT/tools/quickbook`).
+
+# Build the utility by issuing `bjam`.
+
+# Copy the resulting `quickbook` binary (located at
+ `BOOST_ROOT/dist/bin`) to a safe place. The traditional location is
+ `/usr/local/bin`.
+
+# Add the following to your `user-config.jam` file, using the full path of the
+ quickbook executable:
+ ```
+ using quickbook
+ : /usr/local/bin/quickbook
+ ;
+ ```
+
+If you need to build documentation that uses Doxygen, you will need to install it as well:
+
+ sudo port install doxygen
+
+And then add to your `user-config.jam`:
+
+ using doxygen ;
+
+Alternatively, you can install from the official doxygen `dmg`.
+This is described at [link osx-prebuilt-doxygen the end of the next section].
+
+[endsect] [/ macports]
+
+[section:native Mac OS X, Snow Leopard (or later)]
+
+[:['Section contributed by Julio M. Merino Vidal]]
+
+The text below assumes you want to install all the necessary utilities in a
+system-wide location, allowing any user in the machine to have access to
+them. Therefore, all files will be put in the `/usr/local` hierarchy. If
+you do not want this, you can choose any other prefix such as
+`~/Applications` for a single-user installation.
+
+Snow Leopard comes with `xsltproc` and all related libraries preinstalled, so
+you do not need to take any extra steps to set them up. It is probable
+that future versions will include them too, but these instructions may not
+apply to older versions.
+
+To get started:
+
+# Download [@http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.2/docbook-xml-4.2.zip Docbook XML
+ 4.2] and unpack it inside `/usr/local/share/xml/docbook/4.2`.
+
+# Download the latest
+ [@http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21935&package_id=16608
+ Docbook XSL] version and unpack it. Be careful that you download the correct
+ file, sometimes the 'looking for the latest version' link often links to
+ another file. The name should be of the form

+ number from the directory name (for simplicity).
+
+# Add the following to your `user-config.jam` file, which should live in

+The above steps are enough to get a functional BoostBook setup. Quickbook
+will be automatically built when needed. If you want to avoid these

+
+# Go to Quickbook's source directory (`BOOST_ROOT/tools/quickbook`).

+ ```
+
+[# osx-prebuilt-doxygen]
+Additionally, if you need to build documentation that uses
+[@http://www.doxygen.org Doxygen], you will need to install it too:
+
+# Go to the [@http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html#latestsrc
+ downloads section] and get the disk image (`dmg` file) for Mac OS X.
+
+# Open the disk image and drag the Doxygen application to your
+ `Applications` folder to install it.

+# Add the following to your `user-config.jam` file:
+ ```
+ using doxygen
+ : /Applications/Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources/doxygen
+ ;
+ ```
+

+[:['Section contributed by Julio M. Merino Vidal]]
+
+The following instructions apply to any Windows system based on Windows
+2000, including Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server and Windows Vista. The
+paths shown below are taken from a Windows Vista machine; you will need to
+adjust them to match your system in case you are running an older version.
+
+# First of all you need to have a copy of `xsltproc` for Windows. There
+ are many ways to get this tool, but to keep things simple, use the
+ [@http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/ binary packages] made by Igor
+ Zlatkovic. At the very least, you need to download the following
+ packages: `iconv`, `zlib`, `libxml2` and `libxslt`.
+
+# Unpack all these packages in the same directory so that you get unique
+ `bin`, `include` and `lib` directories within the hierarchy. These
+ instructions use `C:\Users\example\Documents\boost\xml` as the root for
+ all files.
+
+# From the command line, go to the `bin` directory and launch
+ `xsltproc.exe` to ensure it works. You should get usage information on
+ screen.
+
+# Download [@http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.2/docbook-xml-4.2.zip Docbook XML
+ 4.2] and unpack it in the same directory used above. That is:
+ `C:\Users\example\Documents\boost\xml\docbook-xml`.
+
+# Download the latest
+ [@http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21935&package_id=16608
+ Docbook XSL] version and unpack it, again in the same directory
+ used before. Be careful that you download the correct
+ file, sometimes the 'looking for the latest version' link often links to
+ another file. The name should be of the form
+ '''<code>docbook-xsl-1.<emphasis>nn</emphasis>.<emphasis>n</emphasis>.tar.bz2</code>''',
+ with no suffix such as `-ns.tar.bz2` or `-doc.tar.bz2`.
+ To make things easier, rename the directory created
+ during the extraction to `docbook-xsl` (bypassing the version name):
+ `C:\Users\example\Documents\boost\xml\docbook-xsl`.
+
+# Add the following to your `user-config.jam` file, which should live in
+ your home directory (`%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%`). You must already have it
+ somewhere or otherwise you could not be building Boost (i.e. missing
+ tools configuration).
+
+ using xsltproc
+ : "C:/Users/example/Documents/boost/xml/bin/xsltproc.exe"
+ ;
+
+ using boostbook
+ : "C:/Users/example/Documents/boost/xml/docbook-xsl"

+ : "C:/Users/example/Documents/boost/xml/bin/quickbook.exe"
+ ;
+ ```
+
+[endsect] [/Windows]
+
+[section:linux Debian, Ubuntu]
+
+The following instructions apply to Debian and its derivatives. They are based
+on a Ubuntu Edgy install but should work on other Debian based systems. They
+assume you've already installed an appropriate version of `bjam` for your
+copy of boost.
+
+First install the `xsltproc`, `docbook-xsl` and `docbook-xml` packages.
+For example, using `apt-get`:
+
+ sudo apt-get install xsltproc docbook-xsl docbook-xml
+
+If you're planning on building boost's documentation, you'll also need to
+install the `doxygen` package as well.
+
+Next, we need to configure Boost Build to compile BoostBook files. Add the
+following to your `user-config.jam` file, which should be in your home
+directory. If you don't have one, create a file containing this text. For more
+information on setting up `user-config.jam`, see the
+[@http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html Boost
+Build documentation].

+[section:intro Introduction]
+
+[:[*['["Why program by hand in five days what you can spend five years of your
+life automating?]]]
+
+-- Terrence Parr, author ANTLR/PCCTS
+]
+
+Well, QuickBook started as a weekend hack. It was originally intended to be a
+sample application using __spirit__. What is it? What you are viewing now, this
+documentation, is autogenerated by QuickBook. These files were generated from
+one master:
+
+[:[@boost:/tools/quickbook/doc/quickbook.qbk quickbook.qbk]]
+
+Originally named QuickDoc, this funky tool that never dies, evolved into a
+funkier tool thanks to Eric Niebler who resurrected the project making it
+generate __boostbook__ instead of HTML. The __boostbook__ documentation format
+is an extension of __docbook__, an SGML or XML based format for describing
+documentation.
+
+QuickBook is a WikiWiki style documentation tool geared towards C++
+documentation using simple rules and markup for simple formatting tasks.
+QuickBook extends the WikiWiki concept. Like the WikiWiki, QuickBook documents are
+simple text files. A single QuickBook document can generate a fully linked set
+of nice HTML and PostScript/PDF documents complete with images and syntax-
+colorized source code.
+
+Features include:
+
+* generate __boostbook__ xml, to generate HTML, PostScript and PDF
+* simple markup to link to Doxygen-generated entities
+* macro system for simple text substitution
+* simple markup for italics, bold, preformatted, blurbs, code samples,
+ tables, URLs, anchors, images, etc.
+* automatic syntax coloring of code samples
+* CSS support

+[section:phrase Phrase Level Elements]
+
+[section Font Styles]
+
+[pre'''
+['italic], [*bold], [_underline], [^teletype], [-strikethrough]
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+['italic], [*bold], [_underline], [^teletype], [-strikethrough]
+
+Like all non-terminal phrase level elements, this can of course be nested:
+
+[pre'''
+[*['bold-italic]]
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+[*['bold-italic]]
+
+[endsect] [/Font Styles]
+
+[section Replaceable]
+
+When you want content that may or must be replaced by the user, use the syntax:
+
+[pre'''
+[~replacement]
+''']
+
+This will generate:
+
+[~replacement]
+
+[endsect] [/Replaceable]
+
+[section Quotations]
+
+[pre'''
+["A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?]--Einstein
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+["A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?]--Einstein
+
+Note the proper left and right quote marks. Also, while you can simply use
+ordinary quote marks like "quoted", our quotation, above, will generate correct
+DocBook quotations (e.g. <quote>quoted</quote>).
+
+Like all phrase elements, quotations may be nested. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+["Here's the rule for bargains: ["Do other men, for they would do you.] That's
+the true business precept.]
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+["Here's the rule for bargains: ["Do other men, for they would do you.]
+That's the true business precept.]
+
+[endsect] [/Quotations]
+
+[section Simple formatting]
+
+Simple markup for formatting text, common in many applications, is now supported:
+
+[pre'''
+/italic/, *bold*, _underline_, =teletype=
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+/italic/, *bold*, _underline_, =teletype=
+
+Unlike QuickBook's standard formatting scheme, the rules for simpler
+alternatives are much stricter[footnote Thanks to David Barrett, author of
+[@http://quinthar.com/qwikiwiki/index.php?page=Home Qwiki], for sharing
+these samples and teaching me these obscure formatting rules. I wasn't sure
+at all if __spirit__, being more or less a formal EBNF parser, can handle
+the context sensitivity and ambiguity.].
+
+* Simple markups cannot nest. You can combine a simple markup with a nestable markup.
+* Simple markups cannot contain any other form of quickbook markup.
+* A non-space character must follow the leading markup
+* A non-space character must precede the trailing markup
+* A space or a punctuation must follow the trailing markup
+* If the matching markup cannot be found within a block, the formatting
+ will not be applied. This is to ensure that un-matched formatting markups,
+ which can be a common mistake, does not corrupt anything past a single block.
+ We do not want the rest of the document to be rendered bold just because we
+ forgot a trailing '*'. A single block is terminated by two end of lines or
+ the close bracket: ']'.
+* A line starting with the star will be interpreted as an unordered list.
+ See __unordered_lists__.
+
+[table More Formatting Samples
+ [[Markup] [Result]]
+ [[[^'''*Bold*''']] [*Bold*]]
+ [[[^'''*Is bold*''']] [*Is bold*]]
+ [[[^'''* Not bold* *Not bold * * Not bold *''']] [* Not bold* *Not bold * * Not bold *]]
+ [[[^'''This*Isn't*Bold (no bold)''']] [This*Isn't*Bold (no bold)]]
+ [[[^'''(*Bold Inside*) (parenthesis not bold)''']] [(*Bold Inside*) (parenthesis not bold)]]
+ [[[^'''*(Bold Outside)* (parenthesis bold)''']] [*(Bold Outside)* (parenthesis bold)]]
+ [[[^'''3*4*5 = 60 (no bold)''']] [3*4*5 = 60 (no bold)]]
+ [[[^'''3 * 4 * 5 = 60 (no bold)''']] [3 * 4 * 5 = 60 (no bold)]]
+ [[[^'''3 *4* 5 = 60 (4 is bold)''']] [3 *4* 5 = 60 (4 is bold)]]
+ [[[^'''*This is bold* this is not *but this is*''']][*This is bold* this is not *but this is*]]
+ [[[^'''*This is bold*.''']] [*This is bold*.]]
+ [[[^'''*B*. (bold B)''']] [*B*. (bold B)]]
+ [[[^'''['*Bold-Italic*]''']] [['*Bold-Italic*]]]
+ [[[^'''*side-by*/-side/''']] [*side-by*/-side/]]
+]
+
+As mentioned, simple markups cannot go past a single block. The text
+from "have" to "full" in the following paragraph will be rendered as
+bold:
+
+[pre'''
+Baa baa black sheep, *have you any wool?
+Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!*
+One for the master, one for the dame,
+And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
+''']
+
+Baa baa black sheep, *have you any wool?
+Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!*
+One for the master, one for the dame,
+And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
+
+But in the following paragraph, bold is not applied:
+
+[pre'''
+Baa baa black sheep, *have you any wool?
+Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!
+One for the master, one for the dame,
+And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
+''']
+
+Baa baa black sheep, *have you any wool?
+Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!
+One for the master, one for the dame,
+And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
+
+[endsect] [/Simple Formatting]
+
+[section Inline code]
+
+Inlining code in paragraphs is quite common when writing C++ documentation. We
+provide a very simple markup for this. For example, this:
+
+[pre'''
+This text has inlined code `int main() { return 0; }` in it.
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+This text has inlined code `int main() { return 0; }` in it. The code will be
+syntax highlighted.
+
+[note We simply enclose the code with the tick: [^'''"`"'''], not the
+single quote: `"'"`. Note too that [^'''`some code`'''] is preferred over
+[^'''[^some code]''']. ]
+
+[endsect] [/Inline Code]
+
+[section Code blocks]
+
+Preformatted code simply starts with a space or a tab (See __code__).
+However, such a simple syntax cannot be used as phrase elements in lists
+(See __ordered_lists__ and __unordered_lists__), tables (See __tables__),
+etc. Inline code (see above) can. The problem is, inline code does not
+allow formatting with newlines, spaces, and tabs. These are lost.
+
+We provide a phrase level markup that is a mix between the two. By using the
+double-tick, instead of the single-tick, we are telling QuickBook to use
+preformatted blocks of code. Example:
+
+[pre
+\`\`
+ #include <iostream>
+
+ int main()
+ {
+ std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
+ return 0;
+ }
+\`\`
+]
+
+will generate:
+
+``
+ #include <iostream>
+
+ int main()
+ {
+ std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
+ return 0;
+ }
+``
+
+[endsect] [/Code blocks]
+
+[section Source Mode]
+
+If a document contains more than one type of source code then the source
+mode may be changed dynamically as the document is processed. All QuickBook
+documents are initially in C++ mode by default, though an alternative
+initial value may be set in the __document__ section.
+
+To change the source mode, use the [^\[source-mode\]] markup, where
+=source-mode= is one of the supported modes. For example, this:
+
+[pre'''
+Python's [python] `import` is rather like C++'s [c++] `#include`. A
+C++ comment `// looks like this` whereas a Python comment [python]
+`# looks like this`.
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+Python's [python] `import` is rather like C++'s [c++] `#include`. A
+C++ comment `// looks like this` whereas a Python comment [python]
+`#looks like this`.
+
+[teletype]
+
+[table Supported Source Modes
+ [[Mode] [Source Mode Markup]]
+ [[C++] [[^\[c++\]]]]
+ [[Python] [[^\[python\]]]]
+ [[Plain Text] [[^\[teletype\]]]]
+]
+
+[note The source mode strings are lowercase.]
+
+[endsect] [/Source Mode]
+
+[section line-break]
+
+[pre'''
+[br]
+''']
+
+[warning `[br]` is now deprecated. __blurbs__, __admonitions__ and
+table cells (see __tables__) may now contain paragraphs.]
+
+[endsect]
+[section Anchors]
+
+[pre'''
+[#named_anchor]
+''']
+
+A named anchor is a hook that can be referenced by a link elsewhere in the
+document. You can then reference an anchor with [^'''[link named_anchor
+Some link text]''']. See __anchor_links__, __section__ and __heading__.
+
+These anchors are global and can be accessed from anywhere in the
+quickbook documentation. Be careful to avoid clashes with anchors in
+other sections.
+
+[endsect] [/Line break]
+
+[section Links]
+
+[pre'''
+[@http://www.boost.org this is [*boost's] website....]
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+[@http://www.boost.org this is [*boost's] website....]
+
+URL links where the link text is the link itself is common. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+see http://spirit.sourceforge.net/
+''']
+
+so, when the text is absent in a link markup, the URL is assumed. Example:
+
+[pre
+see '''[@http://spirit.sourceforge.net/]'''
+]
+
+will generate:
+
+see [@http://spirit.sourceforge.net/]
+
+Boostbook also support a custom url schema for linking to files within
+the boost distribution:
+
+[pre
+'''[@boost:/libs/spirit/index.html the Boost.Spirit documentation]'''
+]
+
+will generate: [@boost:/libs/spirit/index.html the Boost.Spirit documentation]
+
+Note that this is only available when using BoostBook, and only for links
+- it can't be used for images.
+
+[endsect] [/Links]
+
+[section Anchor links]
+
+You can link within a document using:
+
+[pre'''
+[link document_id.section_id.normalized_header_text The link text]
+''']
+
+See sections __section__ and __heading__ for more info.
+
+[endsect] [/Anchor links]
+
+[section refentry links]
+
+In addition, you can link internally to an XML refentry like:
+
+[pre'''
+[link xml.refentry The link text]
+''']
+
+This gets converted into [^<link linkend="xml.refentry">The link text</link>].
+
+Like URLs, the link text is optional. If this is not present, the link text will
+automatically be the refentry. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[link xml.refentry]
+''']
+
+This gets converted into [^<link linkend="xml.refentry">xml.refentry</link>].
+
+[endsect] [/refentry links]
+
+[section:code_links Code Links]
+
+If you want to link to a function, class, member, enum, concept, global, or header in
+the reference section, you can use:
+
+[pre'''
+[funcref fully::qualified::function_name The link text]
+[classref fully::qualified::class_name The link text]
+[memberref fully::qualified::member_name The link text]
+[enumref fully::qualified::enum_name The link text]
+[macroref MACRO_NAME The link text]
+[conceptref ConceptName The link text]
+[headerref path/to/header.hpp The link text]
+[globalref fully::qualified::global The link text]
+''']
+
+Again, the link text is optional. If this is not present, the link text will
+automatically be the function, class, member, enum, macro, concept, global, or header name.
+Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[classref boost::bar::baz]
+''']
+
+would have "boost::bar::baz" as the link text.
+
+[endsect] [/Code Links]
+
+[section Escape]
+
+The escape mark-up is used when we don't want to do any processing.
+
+[pre
+\'\'\'
+escape (no processing/formatting)
+\'\'\'
+]
+
+Escaping allows us to pass XML markup to __boostbook__ or __docbook__. For example:
+
+[pre
+\'\'\'
+<emphasis role="bold">This is direct XML markup</emphasis>
+\'\'\'
+]
+
+'''
+<emphasis role="bold">This is direct XML markup</emphasis>
+'''
+
+[important Be careful when using the escape. The text must conform to
+__boostbook__/__docbook__ syntax.]
+
+[endsect] [/Escape]
+
+[section Single char escape]
+
+The backslash may be used to escape a single punctuation character. The
+punctuation immediately after the backslash is passed without any processing.
+This is useful when we need to escape QuickBook punctuations such as `[` and `]`.
+For example, how do you escape the triple quote? Simple: [^\\'\\'\\']
+
+
+`\n` has a special meaning. It is used to generate line breaks.
+
+[warning `\n` and `[br]` are now deprecated. __blurbs__, __admonitions__
+and table cells (see __tables__) may now contain paragraphs.]
+
+The escaped space: `\ ` also has a special meaning. The escaped space is removed
+from the output.
+
+[endsect] [/Single char escape]
+
+[section Unicode escape]
+
+You can enter any 16-bit unicode character by using `\u` followed by its 4 digit
+hexadecimal code, or a 32-bit character by using `\U` followed by an 8 digit
+hexadecimal code. eg.
+
+[pre'''
+\u03B1 + \u03B2
+''']
+
+will generate:
+
+[:
+\u03B1 + \u03B2
+]
+
+[endsect] [/Unicode escape]
+
+[section Images]
+
+[pre'''
+[$image.jpg]
+''']
+
+From version 1.5, you can also use
+[@http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/imagedata.html
+DocBook imagedata attributes]:
+
+[pre'''
+[$image.jpg [width 200in] [height 200in]]
+''']
+
+[endsect] [/Images]
+
+[section Footnotes]
+
+As of version 1.3, QuickBook supports footnotes. Just put the text of the
+footnote in a `[footnote]` block, and the text will be put at the bottom
+of the current page. For example, this:
+
+[pre'''
+[footnote A sample footnote]
+''']
+
+will generate this[footnote A sample footnote].
+
+[endsect] [/Footnotes]
+
+[section Macro Expansion]
+
+[pre'''
+__a_macro_identifier__
+''']
+
+See __macros__ for details.
+
+[endsect] [/Macro Expansion]
+
+[section Template Expansion]
+
+[pre'''
+[a_template_identifier]
+''']
+
+See __templates__ for details.
+
+[endsect] [/Template Expansion]
+
+[section:cond Conditional Generation]
+
+Like C++ `#ifdef`, you can generate phrases depending on the presence of
+a macro. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[? __to_be__ To be or not to be]
+''']
+
+[? __to_be__ To be or not to be]
+
+Here, the phrase "To be or not to be" will only be generated if the
+macro symbol '''__to_be__''' has been previously defined. The phrase
+above will not do anything since we haven't defined '''__to_be__'''.
+Now, let's define the symbol:
+
+[pre'''
+[def __to_be__]
+''']
+
+[def __to_be__]
+

-[:[*['["Why program by hand in five days what you can spend five years of your
-life automating?]]]
-
--- Terrence Parr, author ANTLR/PCCTS
-]
-
-Well, QuickBook started as a weekend hack. It was originally intended to be a
-sample application using __spirit__. What is it? What you are viewing now, this
-documentation, is autogenerated by QuickBook. These files were generated from
-one master:
-
-[:[@boost:/tools/quickbook/doc/quickbook.qbk quickbook.qbk]]
-
-Originally named QuickDoc, this funky tool that never dies, evolved into a
-funkier tool thanks to Eric Niebler who resurrected the project making it
-generate __boostbook__ instead of HTML. The __boostbook__ documentation format
-is an extension of __docbook__, an SGML or XML based format for describing
-documentation.
-
-QuickBook is a WikiWiki style documentation tool geared towards C++
-documentation using simple rules and markup for simple formatting tasks.
-QuickBook extends the WikiWiki concept. Like the WikiWiki, QuickBook documents are
-simple text files. A single QuickBook document can generate a fully linked set
-of nice HTML and PostScript/PDF documents complete with images and syntax-
-colorized source code.
-
-Features include:
-
-* generate __boostbook__ xml, to generate HTML, PostScript and PDF
-* simple markup to link to Doxygen-generated entities
-* macro system for simple text substitution
-* simple markup for italics, bold, preformatted, blurbs, code samples,
- tables, URLs, anchors, images, etc.
-* automatic syntax coloring of code samples
-* CSS support

-
-[section:change_log Change Log]
-
-[h3 Version 1.3]
-
-* Quickbook file inclusion \[include\].
-* Better xml output (pretty layout). Check out the generated XML.
-* Regression testing facility: to make sure your document will always be
- compatible (full backward compatibility) regardless of changes to
- QuickBook.
-* Code cleanup and refactoring.
-* Allow phrase markup in the doc-info.
-* Preformatted code blocks via \`\`code\`\` (double ticks) allows code in tables
- and lists, for example.
-* Quickbook versioning; allows full backward compatibility. You have to add
- \[quickbook 1.3\] to the doc-info header to enable the new features. Without
- this, QuickBook will assume that the document is a pre-1.3 document.
-* Better (intuitive) paragraph termination. Some markups may terminate a paragraph.
- Example:``
- [section x]
- blah...
- [endsect]``
-* Fully qualified section and headers. Subsection names are concatenated to the
- ID to avoid clashing. Example: `doc_name.sect_name.sub_sect_name.sub_sub_sect_name`
-* Better &nbsp; and whitespace handling in code snippets.
-* \[xinclude\] fixes up the relative path to the target XML file when
- input_directory is not the same as the output_directory.
-* Allow untitled tables.
-* Allow phrase markups in section titles.
-* Allow escaping back to QuickBook from code, code blocks and inline code.
-* Footnotes, with the \[footnote This is the footnote\] syntax.
-* Post-processor bug fix for escaped XML code that it does not recognize.
-* Replaceable, with the \[~replacement\] syntax.
-
-[h3 Version 1.4]
-
-* Generic Headers
-* Code changes to allow full recursion (i.e. Collectors and push/pop functions)
-* Various code cleanup/maintenance
-* Templates!

-* Allow escape of spaces. The escaped space is removed from the output. Syntax:
- `\ `.
-* Nested comments are now allowed.
-* Quickbook blocks can nest inside comments.
-* __import__ facility.
-* Callouts on imported code
-* Simple markups can now span a whole block.
-* __blurbs__, __admonitions__ and table cells (see __tables__) may now
- contain paragraphs.
-* `\n` and `[br]` are now deprecated.
-* __cond__. Ala C++ #ifdef.
-* Searching of included and imported files in an extensible search path with
- `--include-path` (`-I`) option.
-
-[h3 Version 1.5]
-
-* Support multiple copyright entrys in document info.

-* Improved handling of unexpected characters in code blocks.
-* Improved handling of unmatched escape in code blocks.
-* Support for python snippets.
-* `teletype` source mode.
-* Use static scoping in templates, should be a lot more intuitive.
-* Accept a space between `section:` and the section id.
-* Support table ids.
-
-[h3 Version 1.5.1 - Boost 1.43.0]
-
-* Improve the post processor's list of block elements. `table`, `entry` and
- `varlistentry` are treated as blocks. `replaceable` is treated as an inline
- element.
-* Check that `[section]` and `[endsect]` tags are balanced in templates.
-* Add unicode escape characters, eg. `\u03B1` for \u03B1.
-* Support UTF-8 files with a unicode byte order mark.
-* Disallow `[` in simple markup. Fixes some errors with mismatched punctuation.
-* Add command line flag to define macros at the command line,
- e.g. `quickbook "-D__italic_foo__=/foo/"`.
-
-[h3 Version 1.5.2 - Boost 1.44.0]
-
-* Use the cygwin 1.7 API for better path handling.
-* Improved boostbook generation:
- * XML encode the documentation info correctly.
- * Avoid generating empty paragraphs.
- * No longer wraps block templates in paragraphs.
- * Warns if you use invalid doc_info members for docbook document types.
- * Fixes some other causes of invalid boostbook, although it still
- generates invalid boostbook in places.
-* Improved grammar:
- * Supports multiple categories in library doc_info.
- * No longer requires commas between authors in docinfo.
- * Allows empty document bodies.
- * A line containing only a comment is no longer interpreted as a
- paragraph break.
- * If a line starts with a comment, interpret it as a paragraph even if it's
- followed by whitespace or a list character.
- * Doesn't treat several consecutive blank lines as multiple paragraph breaks.
-* Fixes duplicate image attribute detection.
-* Fixes using code snippets more than once.
-* Early work on quickbook 1.6, available using the `[quickbook 1.6]` version switch,
- but liable to change in future versions.
- * When automatically generating ids for headers, use the quickbook
- source, rather than the generated docbook.
- * Fix id generation in included files. It wasn't correctly using the
- main document's documentation id.
- * Correctly restore the quickbook version switch after including a file
- with a different version.
-
-[h3 Version 1.5.3 - Boost 1.45.0]
-
-* Fix command line flag for defining macros.
-* Fix a couple of issues with the code block parser:
- * A comment with no indentation will now end a code block.
- * Code blocks no longer have to be followed by a blank line.
-* Improved tracking of file position in templates and imported code blocks.
-* Better generated markup for callout lists.
-* In docbook, variable list entries can only have one `listitem`, so if an
- entry has multiple values, merge them into one `listitem`.
-* Support nested code snippets.
-* Support nested blocks in document info comments.
-* Revert xml escaping document info, it broke some documentation files
- (now a 1.6 feature).
-* Further work on quickbook 1.6, still not stable.
- * Allow heading to have ids, using the syntax: `[heading:id title]`.
- * XML escape documentation fields, with escapes to allow encoding unicode
- in ASCII.
-
-[heading Version 1.5.4 - Boost 1.46.0]
-
-* Add support for `lang` attribute in documentation info.
-* Improved anchor implementation. Especially for using an anchor
- before a section or heading.
-* Fixed some more issues where lines containing comments were treated
- as blank lines.
-* Allow import, include and xinclude in conditional phrases. Will
- allow more block elements in a future version.
-* Rearrange the structure of the grammar.
-* Use filesystem 3. Remove cygwin support.

-
-[section:syntax Syntax Summary]
-
-A QuickBook document is composed of one or more blocks. An example of
-a block is the paragraph or a C++ code snippet. Some blocks have
-special mark-ups. Blocks, except code snippets which have their own
-grammar (C++ or Python), are composed of one or more phrases. A phrase
-can be a simple contiguous run of characters. Phrases can have special
-mark-ups. Marked up phrases can recursively contain other phrases, but
-cannot contain blocks. A terminal is a self contained block-level or
-phrase-level element that does not nest anything.
-
-Blocks, in general, are delimited by two end-of-lines (the block terminator).
-Phrases in each block cannot contain a block terminator. This way, syntax errors
-such as un-matched closing brackets do not go haywire and corrupt anything past
-a single block.
-
-[section Comments]
-
-Can be placed anywhere.
-
-[pre
-'''[/ comment (no output generated) ]'''
-]
-
-[/ for testing only... ]
-
-[pre
-'''[/ comments can be nested [/ some more here] ]'''
-]
-
-[/ for testing [/ only ] ]
-
-[pre
-'''[/ Quickbook blocks can nest inside comments. [*Comment this out too!] ]'''
-]
-
-[/ for testing [*only ] ]
-
-[endsect] [/Comments]
-
-[endsect] [/Syntax Summary]
-
-[section:phrase Phrase Level Elements]
-
-[section Font Styles]
-
-[pre'''
-['italic], [*bold], [_underline], [^teletype], [-strikethrough]
-''']
-
-will generate:
-
-['italic], [*bold], [_underline], [^teletype], [-strikethrough]
-
-Like all non-terminal phrase level elements, this can of course be nested:
-
-[pre'''
-[*['bold-italic]]
-''']
-
-will generate:
-
-[*['bold-italic]]
-
-[endsect] [/Font Styles]
-
-[section Replaceable]
-
-When you want content that may or must be replaced by the user, use the syntax:
-
-[pre'''
-[~replacement]
-''']
-
-This will generate:
-
-[~replacement]
-
-[endsect] [/Replaceable]
-
-[section Quotations]
-
-[pre'''
-["A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?]--Einstein
-''']
-
-will generate:
-
-["A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?]--Einstein
-
-Note the proper left and right quote marks. Also, while you can simply use
-ordinary quote marks like "quoted", our quotation, above, will generate correct
-DocBook quotations (e.g. <quote>quoted</quote>).
-
-Like all phrase elements, quotations may be nested. Example:
-
-[pre'''
-["Here's the rule for bargains: ["Do other men, for they would do you.] That's
-the true business precept.]
-''']
-
-will generate:
-
-["Here's the rule for bargains: ["Do other men, for they would do you.]
-That's the true business precept.]
-
-[endsect] [/Quotations]
-
-[section Simple formatting]
-
-Simple markup for formatting text, common in many applications, is now supported:
-
-[pre'''
-/italic/, *bold*, _underline_, =teletype=
-''']
-
-will generate:
-
-/italic/, *bold*, _underline_, =teletype=
-
-Unlike QuickBook's standard formatting scheme, the rules for simpler
-alternatives are much stricter[footnote Thanks to David Barrett, author of
-[@http://quinthar.com/qwikiwiki/index.php?page=Home Qwiki], for sharing
-these samples and teaching me these obscure formatting rules. I wasn't sure
-at all if __spirit__, being more or less a formal EBNF parser, can handle
-the context sensitivity and ambiguity.].
-
-* Simple markups cannot nest. You can combine a simple markup with a nestable markup.
-* Simple markups cannot contain any other form of quickbook markup.
-* A non-space character must follow the leading markup
-* A non-space character must precede the trailing markup
-* A space or a punctuation must follow the trailing markup
-* If the matching markup cannot be found within a block, the formatting
- will not be applied. This is to ensure that un-matched formatting markups,
- which can be a common mistake, does not corrupt anything past a single block.
- We do not want the rest of the document to be rendered bold just because we
- forgot a trailing '*'. A single block is terminated by two end of lines or
- the close bracket: ']'.
-* A line starting with the star will be interpreted as an unordered list.
- See __unordered_lists__.
-
-[table More Formatting Samples
- [[Markup] [Result]]
- [[[^'''*Bold*''']] [*Bold*]]
- [[[^'''*Is bold*''']] [*Is bold*]]
- [[[^'''* Not bold* *Not bold * * Not bold *''']] [* Not bold* *Not bold * * Not bold *]]
- [[[^'''This*Isn't*Bold (no bold)''']] [This*Isn't*Bold (no bold)]]
- [[[^'''(*Bold Inside*) (parenthesis not bold)''']] [(*Bold Inside*) (parenthesis not bold)]]
- [[[^'''*(Bold Outside)* (parenthesis bold)''']] [*(Bold Outside)* (parenthesis bold)]]
- [[[^'''3*4*5 = 60 (no bold)''']] [3*4*5 = 60 (no bold)]]
- [[[^'''3 * 4 * 5 = 60 (no bold)''']] [3 * 4 * 5 = 60 (no bold)]]
- [[[^'''3 *4* 5 = 60 (4 is bold)''']] [3 *4* 5 = 60 (4 is bold)]]
- [[[^'''*This is bold* this is not *but this is*''']][*This is bold* this is not *but this is*]]
- [[[^'''*This is bold*.''']] [*This is bold*.]]
- [[[^'''*B*. (bold B)''']] [*B*. (bold B)]]
- [[[^'''['*Bold-Italic*]''']] [['*Bold-Italic*]]]
- [[[^'''*side-by*/-side/''']] [*side-by*/-side/]]
-]
-
-As mentioned, simple markups cannot go past a single block. The text
-from "have" to "full" in the following paragraph will be rendered as
-bold:
-
-[pre'''
-Baa baa black sheep, *have you any wool?
-Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!*
-One for the master, one for the dame,
-And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
-''']
-
-Baa baa black sheep, *have you any wool?
-Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!*
-One for the master, one for the dame,
-And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
-
-But in the following paragraph, bold is not applied:
-
-[pre'''
-Baa baa black sheep, *have you any wool?
-Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!
-One for the master, one for the dame,
-And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
-''']
-
-Baa baa black sheep, *have you any wool?
-Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!
-One for the master, one for the dame,
-And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
-
-[endsect] [/Simple Formatting]
-
-[section Inline code]
-
-Inlining code in paragraphs is quite common when writing C++ documentation. We
-provide a very simple markup for this. For example, this:
-
-[pre'''
-This text has inlined code `int main() { return 0; }` in it.
-''']
-
-will generate:
-
-This text has inlined code `int main() { return 0; }` in it. The code will be
-syntax highlighted.
-
-[note We simply enclose the code with the tick: [^'''"`"'''], not the
-single quote: `"'"`. Note too that [^'''`some code`'''] is preferred over
-[^'''[^some code]''']. ]
-
-[endsect] [/Inline Code]
-
-[section Code blocks]
-
-Preformatted code simply starts with a space or a tab (See __code__).
-However, such a simple syntax cannot be used as phrase elements in lists
-(See __ordered_lists__ and __unordered_lists__), tables (See __tables__),
-etc. Inline code (see above) can. The problem is, inline code does not
-allow formatting with newlines, spaces, and tabs. These are lost.
-
-We provide a phrase level markup that is a mix between the two. By using the
-double-tick, instead of the single-tick, we are telling QuickBook to use
-preformatted blocks of code. Example:
-
-[pre
-\`\`
- #include <iostream>
-
- int main()
- {
- std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
- return 0;
- }
-\`\`
-]
-
-will generate:
-
-``
- #include <iostream>
-
- int main()
- {
- std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
- return 0;
- }
-``
-
-[endsect] [/Code blocks]
-
-[section Source Mode]
-
-If a document contains more than one type of source code then the source
-mode may be changed dynamically as the document is processed. All QuickBook
-documents are initially in C++ mode by default, though an alternative
-initial value may be set in the __document__ section.
-
-To change the source mode, use the [^\[source-mode\]] markup, where
-=source-mode= is one of the supported modes. For example, this:
-
-[pre'''
-Python's [python] `import` is rather like C++'s [c++] `#include`. A
-C++ comment `// looks like this` whereas a Python comment [python]
-`# looks like this`.
-''']
-
-will generate:
-
-Python's [python] `import` is rather like C++'s [c++] `#include`. A
-C++ comment `// looks like this` whereas a Python comment [python]
-`#looks like this`.
-
-[teletype]
-
-[table Supported Source Modes
- [[Mode] [Source Mode Markup]]
- [[C++] [[^\[c++\]]]]
- [[Python] [[^\[python\]]]]
- [[Plain Text] [[^\[teletype\]]]]
-]
-
-[note The source mode strings are lowercase.]
-
-[endsect] [/Source Mode]
-
-[section line-break]
-
-[pre'''
-[br]
-''']
-
-[warning `[br]` is now deprecated. __blurbs__, __admonitions__ and
-table cells (see __tables__) may now contain paragraphs.]
-
-[endsect]
-[section Anchors]
-
-[pre'''
-[#named_anchor]
-''']
-
-A named anchor is a hook that can be referenced by a link elsewhere in the
-document. You can then reference an anchor with [^'''[link named_anchor
-Some link text]''']. See __anchor_links__, __section__ and __heading__.
-
-These anchors are global and can be accessed from anywhere in the
-quickbook documentation. Be careful to avoid clashes with anchors in
-other sections.
-
-[endsect] [/Line break]
-
-[section Links]
-
-[pre'''
-[@http://www.boost.org this is [*boost's] website....]
-''']
-
-will generate:
-
-[@http://www.boost.org this is [*boost's] website....]
-
-URL links where the link text is the link itself is common. Example:
-
-[pre'''
-see http://spirit.sourceforge.net/
-''']
-
-so, when the text is absent in a link markup, the URL is assumed. Example:
-
-[pre
-see '''[@http://spirit.sourceforge.net/]'''
-]
-
-will generate:
-
-see [@http://spirit.sourceforge.net/]
-
-Boostbook also support a custom url schema for linking to files within
-the boost distribution:
-
-[pre
-'''[@boost:/libs/spirit/index.html the Boost.Spirit documentation]'''
-]
-
-will generate: [@boost:/libs/spirit/index.html the Boost.Spirit documentation]
-
-Note that this is only available when using BoostBook, and only for links
-- it can't be used for images.
-
-[endsect] [/Links]
-
-[section Anchor links]
-
-You can link within a document using:
-
-[pre'''
-[link document_id.section_id.normalized_header_text The link text]
-''']
-
-See sections __section__ and __heading__ for more info.
-
-[endsect] [/Anchor links]
-
-[section refentry links]
-
-In addition, you can link internally to an XML refentry like:
-
-[pre'''
-[link xml.refentry The link text]
-''']
-
-This gets converted into [^<link linkend="xml.refentry">The link text</link>].
-
-Like URLs, the link text is optional. If this is not present, the link text will
-automatically be the refentry. Example:
-
-[pre'''
-[link xml.refentry]
-''']
-
-This gets converted into [^<link linkend="xml.refentry">xml.refentry</link>].
-
-[endsect] [/refentry links]
-
-[section:code_links Code Links]
-
-If you want to link to a function, class, member, enum, concept, global, or header in
-the reference section, you can use:
-
-[pre'''
-[funcref fully::qualified::function_name The link text]
-[classref fully::qualified::class_name The link text]
-[memberref fully::qualified::member_name The link text]
-[enumref fully::qualified::enum_name The link text]
-[macroref MACRO_NAME The link text]
-[conceptref ConceptName The link text]
-[headerref path/to/header.hpp The link text]
-[globalref fully::qualified::global The link text]
-''']
-
-Again, the link text is optional. If this is not present, the link text will
-automatically be the function, class, member, enum, macro, concept, global, or header name.
-Example:
-
-[pre'''
-[classref boost::bar::baz]
-''']
-
-would have "boost::bar::baz" as the link text.
-
-[endsect] [/Code Links]
-
-[section Escape]
-
-The escape mark-up is used when we don't want to do any processing.
-
-[pre
-\'\'\'
-escape (no processing/formatting)
-\'\'\'
-]
-
-Escaping allows us to pass XML markup to __boostbook__ or __docbook__. For example:
-
-[pre
-\'\'\'
-<emphasis role="bold">This is direct XML markup</emphasis>
-\'\'\'
-]
-
-'''
-<emphasis role="bold">This is direct XML markup</emphasis>
-'''
-
-[important Be careful when using the escape. The text must conform to
-__boostbook__/__docbook__ syntax.]
-
-[endsect] [/Escape]
-
-[section Single char escape]
-
-The backslash may be used to escape a single punctuation character. The
-punctuation immediately after the backslash is passed without any processing.
-This is useful when we need to escape QuickBook punctuations such as `[` and `]`.
-For example, how do you escape the triple quote? Simple: [^\\'\\'\\']
-
-
-`\n` has a special meaning. It is used to generate line breaks.
-
-[warning `\n` and `[br]` are now deprecated. __blurbs__, __admonitions__
-and table cells (see __tables__) may now contain paragraphs.]
-
-The escaped space: `\ ` also has a special meaning. The escaped space is removed
-from the output.
-
-[endsect] [/Single char escape]
-
-[section Unicode escape]
-
-You can enter any 16-bit unicode character by using `\u` followed by its 4 digit
-hexadecimal code, or a 32-bit character by using `\U` followed by an 8 digit
-hexadecimal code. eg.
-
-[pre'''
-\u03B1 + \u03B2
-''']
-
-will generate:
-
-[:
-\u03B1 + \u03B2
-]
-
-[endsect] [/Unicode escape]
-
-[section Images]
-
-[pre'''
-[$image.jpg]
-''']
-
-From version 1.5, you can also use
-[@http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/imagedata.html
-DocBook imagedata attributes]:
-
-[pre'''
-[$image.jpg [width 200in] [height 200in]]
-''']
-
-[endsect] [/Images]
-
-[section Footnotes]
-
-As of version 1.3, QuickBook supports footnotes. Just put the text of the
-footnote in a `[footnote]` block, and the text will be put at the bottom
-of the current page. For example, this:
-
-[pre'''
-[footnote A sample footnote]
-''']
-
-will generate this[footnote A sample footnote].
-
-[endsect] [/Footnotes]
-
-[section Macro Expansion]
-
-[pre'''
-__a_macro_identifier__
-''']
-
-See __macros__ for details.
-
-[endsect] [/Macro Expansion]
-
-[section Template Expansion]
-
-[pre'''
-[a_template_identifier]
-''']
-
-See __templates__ for details.
-
-[endsect] [/Template Expansion]
-
-[section:cond Conditional Generation]
-
-Like C++ `#ifdef`, you can generate phrases depending on the presence of
-a macro. Example:
-
-[pre'''
-[? __to_be__ To be or not to be]
-''']
-
-[? __to_be__ To be or not to be]
-
-Here, the phrase "To be or not to be" will only be generated if the
-macro symbol '''__to_be__''' has been previously defined. The phrase
-above will not do anything since we haven't defined '''__to_be__'''.
-Now, let's define the symbol:
-
-[pre'''
-[def __to_be__]
-''']
-
-[def __to_be__]
-
-And try again:
-
-[? __to_be__ To be or not to be]
-
-Yes![footnote Conditional Generation makes quickbook turing complete.]
-
-[endsect] [/Condition Generation]
-
-[endsect] [/Phrase Level Elements]
-
-[section:block Block Level Elements]
-
-[section Document]
-
-Every document must begin with a Document Info section, which should look
-like this:
-
-[pre'''
-[document-type The Document Title
- [quickbook 1.5]
- [version 1.0]
- [id the_document_name]
- [dirname the_document_dir]
- [copyright 2000 2002 2003 Joe Blow, Jane Doe]
- [purpose The document's reason for being]
- [category The document's category]
- [authors [Blow, Joe] [Doe, Jane]]
- [license The document's license]
- [source-mode source-type]
-]
-''']
-
-Where document-type is one of:
-
-* book

-quickbook 1.5 declares the version of quickbook the document is written for.
-In its absence, version 1.1 is assumed.
-
-=version=, =id=, =dirname=, =copyright=, =purpose=, =category=, =authors=,
-=license=, =last-revision= and =source-mode= are optional information.
-
-=dirname=, =purpose= and =category= are boostbook attributes which are only
-valid for =library= documents. If you use them for other document types,
-quickbook will warn about them, but still use them, generating invalid markup,
-that's just ignored by the style sheets.
-
-=source-type= is a lowercase string setting the initial __source_mode__. If
-the =source-mode= field is omitted, a default value of =c++= will be used.
-
-[endsect] [/Document]
-
-[section Section]
-
-Starting a new section is accomplished with:
-
-[pre'''
-[section:id The Section Title]
-''']
-
-where /id/ is optional. id will be the filename of the generated section.
-If it is not present, "The Section Title" will be normalized and become the id.
-Valid characters are =a-Z=, =A-Z=, =0-9= and =_=. All non-valid characters are
-converted to underscore and all upper-case are converted to lower case.
-Thus: "The Section Title" will be normalized to "the_section_title".
-
-End a section with:
-
-[pre'''
-[endsect]
-''']
-
-Sections can nest, and that results in a hierarchy in the table of contents.
-
-[endsect] [/Section]
-
-[section xinclude]
-
-You can include another XML file with:
-
-[pre'''
-[xinclude file.xml]
-''']
-
-This is useful when file.xml has been generated by Doxygen and contains your
-reference section.
-
-[endsect] [/xinclude]
-
-[section Paragraphs]
-
-Paragraphs start left-flushed and are terminated by two or more newlines. No
-markup is needed for paragraphs. QuickBook automatically detects paragraphs from
-the context. Block markups \[section, endsect, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, blurb,
-(block-quote) ':', pre, def, table and include \] may also terminate a paragraph.
- [/ <-- There's a space here. Don't remove. this is intentianal, for testing]

-[section Code]
-
-Preformatted code starts with a space or a tab. The code will be
-syntax highlighted according to the current __source_mode__:
-
-[c++]
-
- #include <iostream>
-
- int main()
- {
- // Sample code
- std::cout << "Hello, World\n";
- return 0;
- }
-
-[python]
-
- import cgi
-
- def cookForHtml(text):
- '''"Cooks" the input text for HTML.'''
-
- return cgi.escape(text)
-
-[teletype]
-
-Macros that are already defined are expanded in source code. Example:
-
-[pre'''
-[def __array__ [@http://www.boost.org/doc/html/array/reference.html array]]
-[def __boost__ [@http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm boost]]
-
- using __boost__::__array__;
-''']
-
-Generates:
-
-[def __array__ [@http://www.boost.org/doc/html/array/reference.html array]]
-[def __boost__ [@http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm boost]]
-
- using __boost__::__array__;
-
-[endsect] [/Code]
-
-[section:escape_back Escaping Back To QuickBook]
-
-Inside code, code blocks and inline code, QuickBook does not allow any
-markup to avoid conflicts with the target syntax (e.g. c++). In case you
-need to switch back to QuickBook markup inside code, you can do so using a
-language specific /escape-back/ delimiter. In C++ and Python, the delimiter
-is the double tick (back-quote): "\`\`" and "\`\`". Example:
-
-[pre'''
-void ``[@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo#Foo.2C_Bar_and_Baz foo]``()
-{
-}
-''']
-
-Will generate:
-
- void ``[@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo#Foo.2C_Bar_and_Baz foo]``()
- {
- }
-
-When escaping from code to QuickBook, only phrase level markups are
-allowed. Block level markups like lists, tables etc. are not allowed.
-
-[endsect] [/Escaping back to quickbook]
-
-[section Preformatted]
-
-Sometimes, you don't want some preformatted text to be parsed as C++. In such
-cases, use the [^[pre ... \]] markup block.
-
-[pre'''
-[pre
-
- Some *preformatted* text Some *preformatted* text
-
- Some *preformatted* text Some *preformatted* text
-
- Some *preformatted* text Some *preformatted* text
-
-]
-''']
-
-Spaces, tabs and newlines are rendered as-is. Unlike all quickbook block level
-markup, pre (and Code) are the only ones that allow multiple newlines. The
-markup above will generate:
-
-[pre
-
-Some *preformatted* text Some *preformatted* text
-
- Some *preformatted* text Some *preformatted* text
-
- Some *preformatted* text Some *preformatted* text
-
-]
-
-Notice that unlike Code, phrase markup such as font style is still permitted
-inside =pre= blocks.
-
-[endsect] [/Preformatted]
-
-[section Blockquote]

-[pre
-'''[:sometext...]'''

-
-[:Indents the paragraph. This applies to one paragraph only.]
-

-[section Admonitions]
-
-[pre'''
-[note This is a note]
-[tip This is a tip]
-[important This is important]
-[caution This is a caution]
-[warning This is a warning]

-
-generates __docbook__ admonitions:
-
-[note This is a note]
-[tip This is a tip]
-[important This is important]
-[caution This is a caution]
-[warning This is a warning]
-
-These are the only admonitions supported by __docbook__. So,
-for example [^\[information This is some information\]] is unlikely
-to produce the desired effect.
-
-[endsect] [/Admonitions]

-[section Headings]
-
-[pre'''
-[h1 Heading 1]
-[h2 Heading 2]
-[h3 Heading 3]
-[h4 Heading 4]
-[h5 Heading 5]
-[h6 Heading 6]
-''']
-
-[h1 Heading 1]
-[h2 Heading 2]
-[h3 Heading 3]
-[h4 Heading 4]
-[h5 Heading 5]
-[h6 Heading 6]
-
-Headings 1-3 \[h1 h2 and h3\] will automatically have anchors with
-normalized names with
-[^name="document_id.section_id.normalized_header_text"] (i.e. valid
-characters are =a-z=, =A-Z=, =0-9= and =_=. All non-valid characters are
-converted to underscore and all upper-case are converted to lower-case.
-For example: Heading 1 in section Section 2 will be normalized to
-[^section_2.heading_1]). You can use:
-
-[pre'''
-[link document_id.section_id.normalized_header_text The link text]
-''']
-
-to link to them. See __anchor_links__ and __section__ for more info.
-
-[endsect] [/Headings]
-
-[section Generic Heading]
-
-In cases when you don't want to care about the heading level (1 to 6), you
-can use the /Generic Heading/:
-
-[pre'''
-[heading Heading]
-''']
-
-The /Generic Heading/ assumes the level, plus one, of the innermost section
-where it is placed. For example, if it is placed in the outermost section,
-then, it assumes /h2/.
-
-Headings are often used as an alternative to sections. It is used
-particularly if you do not want to start a new section. In many cases,
-however, headings in a particular section is just flat. Example:
-
-[pre'''
-[section A]
-[h2 X]
-[h2 Y]
-[h2 Z]
-[endsect]
-''']
-
-Here we use h2 assuming that section A is the outermost level. If it is
-placed in an inner level, you'll have to use h3, h4, etc. depending on
-where the section is. In general, it is the section level plus one. It is
-rather tedious, however, to scan the section level everytime. If you
-rewrite the example above as shown below, this will be automatic:
-
-[pre'''
-[section A]
-[heading X]
-[heading Y]
-[heading Z]
-[endsect]
-''']
-
-They work well regardless where you place them. You can rearrange sections
-at will without any extra work to ensure correct heading levels. In fact,
-with /section/ and /heading/, you have all you need. /h1/../h6/ becomes
-redundant. /h1/../h6/ might be deprecated in the future.
-
-[endsect] [/Generic Heading]
-
-[section Macros]
-
-[pre'''
-[def macro_identifier some text]
-''']
-
-When a macro is defined, the identifier replaces the text anywhere in the
-file, in paragraphs, in markups, etc. macro_identifier is a string of non-
-white space characters except '\]'. A macro may not follow an alphabetic
-character or the underscore. The replacement text can be any phrase (even
-marked up). Example:
-
-[pre'''
-[def sf_logo [$http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=28447&amp;type=1]]
-sf_logo
-''']
-
-Now everywhere the sf_logo is placed, the picture will be inlined.
-
-[def sf_logo [$http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=28447&type=1]]
-sf_logo
-
-[tip It's a good idea to use macro identifiers that are distinguishable.
-For instance, in this document, macro identifiers have two leading and
-trailing underscores (e.g. [^'''__spirit__''']). The reason is to avoid
-unwanted macro replacement.]
-
-Links (URLS) and images are good candidates for macros. *1*) They tend to
-change a lot. It is a good idea to place all links and images in one place near the top
-to make it easy to make changes. *2*) The syntax is not pretty. It's easier to read and
-write, e.g. [^'''__spirit__'''] than [^'''[@http://spirit.sourceforge.net Spirit]'''].
-
-Some more examples:
-
-[pre'''
-[def :-) [$theme/smiley.png]]
-[def __spirit__ [@http://spirit.sourceforge.net Spirit]]
-''']
-
-(See __images__ and __links__)
-
-Invoking these macros:
-
-[pre'''
-Hi __spirit__ :-)
-''']
-
-will generate this:
-
-Hi __spirit__ :-)
-
-[endsect] [/Macros]
-
-[section Predefined Macros]
-
-Quickbook has some predefined macros that you can already use.
-
-[table Predefined Macros
- [[Macro] [Meaning] [Example]]
- [['''__DATE__'''] [Today's date] [__DATE__]]
- [['''__TIME__'''] [The current time] [__TIME__]]
- [['''__FILENAME__'''] [Quickbook source filename] [__FILENAME__]]
-]
-
-[endsect] [/Predefined Macros]
-
-[section Templates]
-
-Templates provide a more versatile text substitution mechanism. Templates
-come in handy when you need to create parameterizable, multi-line,
-boilerplate text that you specify once and expand many times. Templates
-accept one or more arguments. These arguments act like place-holders for
-text replacement. Unlike simple macros, which are limited to phrase level
-markup, templates can contain block level markup (e.g. paragraphs, code
-blocks and tables).
-
-Example template:
-
-[pre'''
-[template person[name age what]
-
-Hi, my name is [name]. I am [age] years old. I am a [what].
-
-]
-''']
-
-[template person[name age what]
-
-Hi, my name is [name]. I am [age] years old. I am a [what].
-
-]
-
-[heading Template Identifier]
-
-Template identifiers can either consist of:
-
-* An initial alphabetic character or the underscore, followed by
- zero or more alphanumeric characters or the underscore. This is
- similar to your typical C/C++ identifier.
-* A single character punctuation (a non-alphanumeric printable character)
-
-[heading Formal Template Arguments]
-
-Template formal arguments are identifiers consisting of an initial
-alphabetic character or the underscore, followed by zero or more
-alphanumeric characters or the underscore. This is similar to your typical
-C/C++ identifier.
-
-A template formal argument temporarily hides a template of the same name at
-the point where the [link quickbook.block.templates.template_expansion
-template is expanded]. Note that the body of the [^person] template above
-refers to [^name] [^age] and [^what] as [^\[name\]] [^\[age\]] and
-[^\[what\]]. [^name] [^age] and [^what] are actually templates that exist
-in the duration of the template call.
-
-[heading Template Body]
-
-The template body can be just about any QuickBook block or phrase. There
-are actually two forms. Templates may be phrase or block level. Phrase
-templates are of the form:
-
-[pre'''
-[template sample[arg1 arg2...argN] replacement text... ]
-''']
-
-Block templates are of the form:
-
-[pre'''
-[template sample[arg1 arg2...argN]
-replacement text...
-]
-''']
-
-The basic rule is as follows: if a newline immediately follows the argument
-list, then it is a block template, otherwise, it is a phrase template.
-Phrase templates are typically expanded as part of phrases. Like macros,
-block level elements are not allowed in phrase templates.
-
-[heading Template Expansion]
-
-You expand a template this way:
-
-[pre'''
-[template_identifier arg1..arg2..arg3]
-''']
-
-At template expansion, you supply the actual arguments. The template will
-be expanded with your supplied arguments. Example:
-
-[pre'''
-[person James Bond..39..Spy]
-[person Santa Clause..87..Big Red Fatso]
-''']
-
-Which will expand to:
-
-[person James Bond..39..Spy]
-[person Santa Clause..87..Big Red Fatso]
-
-[caution A word of caution: Templates are recursive. A template can call
-another template or even itself, directly or indirectly. There are no
-control structures in QuickBook (yet) so this will always mean infinite
-recursion. QuickBook can detect this situation and report an error if
-recursion exceeds a certain limit.]
-
-Each actual argument can be a word, a text fragment or just about any [link
-quickbook.phrase QuickBook phrase]. Arguments are separated by the
-double dot [^".."] and terminated by the close parenthesis.
-
-[heading Nullary Templates]
-
-Nullary templates look and act like simple macros. Example:
-
-[pre'''
-[template alpha[]&apos;&apos;&apos;&amp;#945;&apos;&apos;&apos;]
-[template beta[]&apos;&apos;&apos;&amp;#946;&apos;&apos;&apos;]
-''']
-
-[template alpha[]'''&#945;''']
-[template beta[]'''&#946;''']
-
-Expanding:
-
-[pre'''Some squigles...[*[alpha][beta]]''']
-
-We have:
-
-Some squiggles...[*[alpha][beta]]
-
-The difference with macros are
-
-* The explicit [link quickbook.block.templates.template_expansion
- template expansion syntax]. This is an advantage because, now, we don't
- have to use obscure naming conventions like double underscores (e.g.
- \_\_alpha\_\_) to avoid unwanted
- macro replacement.
-* The template is expanded at the point where it is invoked. A macro is
- expanded immediately at its point of declaration. This is subtle and
- can cause a slight difference in behavior especially if you refer to
- other macros and templates in the body.
-
-The empty brackets after the template identifier ([^alpha\[\]]) indicates no
-arguments. If the template body does not look like a template argument list, we
-can elide the empty brackets. Example:
-
-[pre'''
-[template aristotle_quote Aristotle: [*['Education is the best provision
-for the journey to old age.]]]
-''']
-
-[template aristotle_quote\ Aristotle: [*['Education is the best provision
-for the journey to old age.]]]
-
-Expanding:
-
-[pre'''
-Here's a quote from [aristotle_quote].
-''']
-
-We have:
-
-Here's a quote from [aristotle_quote].
-
-The disadvantage is that you can't avoid the space between the template
-identifier, `aristotle_quote`, and the template body "Aristotle...". This space
-will be part of the template body. If that space is unwanted, use empty
-brackets or use the space escape: "`\ `". Example:
-
-[pre'''
-[template tag\ _tag]
-''']
-
-[template tag\ _tag]
-
-Then expanding:
-
-[pre'''
-`struct` x[tag];
-''']
-
-We have:
-
-`struct` x[tag];
-
-You have a couple of ways to do it. I personally prefer the explicit empty
-brackets, though.
-
-[heading Simple Arguments]
-
-As mentioned, arguments are separated by the double dot [^".."]. Alternatively,
-if the double dot isn't used and more than one argument is expected, QuickBook
-uses whitespace to separate the arguments, following this logic:
-
-* Break the last argument into two, at the first space found ([^'', '\\n',
- \\t' or '\\r']).
-* Repeat until there are enough arguments or if there are no more spaces
- found (in which case, an error is reported).
-
-For example:
-
-[pre'''
-[template simple[a b c d] [a][b][c][d]]
-[simple w x y z]
-''']
-
-will produce:
-
-[template simple[a b c d] [a][b][c][d]]
-[simple w x y z]
-
-"w x y z" is initially treated as a single argument because we didn't
-supply any [^".."] separators. However, since [^simple] expects 4
-arguments, "w x y z" is broken down iteratively (applying the logic above)
-until we have "w", "x", "y" and "z".
-
-QuickBook only tries to get the arguments it needs. For example:
-
-[pre'''
-[simple w x y z trail]
-''']
-
-will produce:
-
-[simple w x y z trail]
-
-The arguments being: "w", "x", "y" and "z trail".
-
-[caution The behavior described here is for QuickBook 1.5. In older versions you
-could use both the double dot and whitespace as separators in the same template
-call. If your document is marked up as an older version, it will use the old
-behavior, which is described in the
-[@http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/doc/html/quickbook/syntax.html#quickbook.block.templates.simple_arguments
-QuickBook 1.4 documentation].]
-
-[heading Punctuation Templates]
-
-With templates, one of our objectives is to allow us to rewrite QuickBook
-in QuickBook (as a qbk library). For that to happen, we need to accommodate
-single character punctuation templates which are fairly common in
-QuickBook. You might have noticed that single character punctuations are
-allowed as [link quickbook.block.templates.template_identifier
-template identifiers]. Example:
-
-[pre'''
-[template ![bar] '''<hey>'''[bar]'''</hey>''']
-''']
-
-Now, expanding this:
-
-[pre'''
-[!baz]
-''']
-
-We will have:
-
-[pre
-<hey>baz</hey>

- [[R2-C0] [R2-C1] [R2-C2]]
-]
-
-The table title is optional. The first row of the table is automatically
-treated as the table header; that is, it is wrapped in [^<thead>...</thead>]
-XML tags. Note that unlike the original QuickDoc, the columns are nested in
-[cells... ].
-
-Giving tables an id is a new feature for quickbook 1.5 onwards. As with
-sections, the id is optional. If the table has a title but no id, an id will
-be generated from the title. The table above can be linked to using:

- #include <iostream>

-

-[variablelist A Variable List
- [[term 1] [The definition of term 1]]
- [[term 2] [The definition of term 2]]
- [[term 3] [
- The definition of term 3.
-

- ]]
-]
-''']
-
-will generate:
-
-[variablelist A Variable List
- [[term 1] [The definition of term 1]]
- [[term 2] [The definition of term 2]]
- [[term 3] [
- The definition of term 3.
-
- Definitions may contain paragraphs.
- ]]
-]
-
-The rules for variable lists are the same as for tables, except that
-only 2 "columns" are allowed. The first column contains the terms, and
-the second column contains the definitions. Those familiar with HTML
-will recognize this as a "definition list".
-
-[endsect] [/Variable Lists]
-
-[section Include]
-
-You can include one QuickBook file from another. The syntax is simply:
-
-[pre'''
-[include someother.qbk]
-''']
-
-The included file will be processed as if it had been cut and pasted
-into the current document, with the following exceptions:
-
-* The '''__FILENAME__''' predefined macro will reflect the name of the
- file currently being processed.
-* Any macros defined in the included file are scoped to that file.
-
-The [^\[include\]] directive lets you specify a document id to use for the
-included file. When this id is not explicitly specified, the id defaults to
-the filename ("someother", in the example above). You can specify the id
-like this:
-
-[pre'''
-[include:someid someother.qbk]
-''']
-
-All auto-generated anchors will use the document id as a unique prefix. So
-for instance, if there is a top section in someother.qbk named "Intro", the
-named anchor for that section will be "someid.intro", and you can link to
-it with [^\[link someid.intro The Intro\]].
-
-[endsect] [/Include]
-
-[section Import]
-
-When documenting code, you'd surely need to present code from actual source
-files. While it is possible to copy some code and paste them in your QuickBook
-file, doing so is error prone and the extracted code in the documentation tends
-to get out of sync with the actual code as the code evolves. The problem, as
-always, is that once documentation is written, the tendency is for the docs to
-languish in the archives without maintenance.
-
-QuickBook's import facility provides a nice solution.
-
-[heading Example]
-
-You can effortlessly import code snippets from source code into your QuickBook.
-The following illustrates how this is done:
-
-[pre'''
-[import ../test/stub.cpp]
-[foo]
-[bar]
-''']
-
-The first line:
-
-[pre'''
-[import ../test/stub.cpp]
-''']
-
-collects specially marked-up code snippets from
-[@boost:/tools/quickbook/test/stub.cpp stub.cpp]
-and places them in your QuickBook file as virtual templates. Each of the
-specially marked-up code snippets has a name (e.g. `foo` and `bar` in the
-example above). This shall be the template identifier for that particular code
-snippet. The second and third line above does the actual template expansion:
-
-[pre'''
-[foo]
-[bar]
-''']
-
-And the result is:
-
-[import ../test/stub.cpp]
-[foo]
-[bar]
-
-[heading Code Snippet Markup]
-
-Note how the code snippets in [@boost:/tools/quickbook/test/stub.cpp stub.cpp]
-get marked up. We use distinguishable comments following the form:
-
- //[id
- some code here
- //]
-
-The first comment line above initiates a named code-snippet. This prefix will
-not be visible in quickbook. The entire code-snippet in between `//[id` and
-`//]` will be inserted as a template in quickbook with name ['/id/]. The comment
-`//]` ends a code-snippet This too will not be visible in quickbook.
-
-[heading Special Comments]
-
-Special comments of the form:
-
- //` some [*quickbook] markup here
-
-and:
-
- /*` some [*quickbook] markup here */
-
-will be parsed by QuickBook. This can contain quickbook /blocks/ (e.g. sections,
-paragraphs, tables, etc). In the first case, the initial slash-slash, tick and
-white-space shall be ignored. In the second, the initial slash-star-tick and the
-final star-slash shall be ignored.
-
-Special comments of the form:
-
- /*<- this C++ comment will be ignored ->*/
-
-or
-
- /*<-*/ "this c++ code will be ignored" /*->*/
-
-or
-
- //<-
- private:
- int some_member;
- //->
-
-can be used to inhibit code from passing through to quickbook. All text between
-the delimeters will simply be ignored.
-
-[heading Callouts]
-
-Special comments of the form:
-
- /*< some [*quickbook] markup here >*/
-
-will be regarded as callouts. These will be collected, numbered and
-rendered as a "callout bug" (a small icon with a number). After the
-whole snippet is parsed, the callout list is generated. See
-[@http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/callout.html Callouts] for details.
-Example:
-
-[foo_bar]
-
-This is the actual code:
-
- //[ foo_bar
- std::string foo_bar() /*< The /Mythical/ FooBar.
- See [@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foobar Foobar for details] >*/
- {
- return "foo-bar"; /*< return 'em, foo-bar man! >*/
- }
- //]
-
-The callouts bugs are placed exactly where the special callout comment
-is situated. It can be anywhere in the code. The bugs can be rather
-obtrusive, however. They get in the way of the clarity of the code.
-Another special callout comment style is available:
-
- /*<< some [*quickbook] markup here >>*/
-
-This is the line-oriented version of the callout. With this, the "bug"
-is placed at the very left of the code block, away from the actual code.
-By placing it at the far left, the code is rendered un-obscured.
-Example:
-
-[class_]
-
-See the actual code here: [@boost:/tools/quickbook/test/stub.cpp]

-[section:install Installation and configuration]
-
-This section provides some guidelines on how to install and configure
-BoostBook and Quickbook under several operating systems. Before installing
-you'll need a local copy of boost, and to install the version of `bjam`
-which comes with it (or a later version).
-
-[/ I don't think this is needed any more]
-[/
-Before continuing, it is very important that you keep this in mind: if you
-try to build some documents and the process breaks due to misconfiguration,
-be absolutely sure to delete any `bin` and `bin.v2` directories generated
-by the build before trying again. Otherwise your configuration fixes will
-not take any effect.
-]
-
-[section:macosx Mac OS X]
-
-The simplest way to install on OS X is to use macports.
-If you don't want to use macports and are using Snow Leopard or later,
-there are instructions [link quickbook.install.macosx.native later].
-Earlier versions of OS X need to use something like macports to install
-`xsltproc` because the version they come with is very old, and doesn't have
-good enough XSL support for boostbook's stylesheets.
-
-[section:macports Mac OS X, using macports]
-
-First install the `libxslt`, `docbook-xsl` and `docbook-xml-4.2`
-packages:
-
- sudo port install libxslt docbook-xsl docbook-xml-4.2
-
-Next, we need to configure Boost Build to compile BoostBook files. Add the
-following to your `user-config.jam` file, which should be in your home
-directory. If you don't have one, create a file containing this text. For more
-information on setting up `user-config.jam`, see the
-[@http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html Boost
-Build documentation].
-
- using xsltproc
- : /opt/local/bin/xsltproc
- ;
-
- using boostbook
- : /opt/local/share/xsl/docbook-xsl/
- : /opt/local/share/xml/docbook/4.2
- ;
-
-The above steps are enough to get a functional BoostBook setup. Quickbook
-will be automatically built when needed. If you want to avoid these
-rebuilds:
-
-# Go to Quickbook's source directory (`BOOST_ROOT/tools/quickbook`).
-
-# Build the utility by issuing `bjam`.
-
-# Copy the resulting `quickbook` binary (located at
- `BOOST_ROOT/dist/bin`) to a safe place. The traditional location is
- `/usr/local/bin`.
-
-# Add the following to your `user-config.jam` file, using the full path of the
- quickbook executable:
- ```
- using quickbook
- : /usr/local/bin/quickbook
- ;
- ```
-
-If you need to build documentation that uses Doxygen, you will need to install it as well:
-
- sudo port install doxygen
-
-And then add to your `user-config.jam`:
-
- using doxygen ;
-
-Alternatively, you can install from the official doxygen `dmg`.
-This is described at [link osx-prebuilt-doxygen the end of the next section].
-
-[endsect] [/ macports]
-
-[section:native Mac OS X, Snow Leopard (or later)]
-
-[:['Section contributed by Julio M. Merino Vidal]]
-
-The text below assumes you want to install all the necessary utilities in a
-system-wide location, allowing any user in the machine to have access to
-them. Therefore, all files will be put in the `/usr/local` hierarchy. If
-you do not want this, you can choose any other prefix such as
-`~/Applications` for a single-user installation.
-
-Snow Leopard comes with `xsltproc` and all related libraries preinstalled, so
-you do not need to take any extra steps to set them up. It is probable
-that future versions will include them too, but these instructions may not
-apply to older versions.
-
-To get started:
-
-# Download [@http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.2/docbook-xml-4.2.zip Docbook XML
- 4.2] and unpack it inside `/usr/local/share/xml/docbook/4.2`.
-
-# Download the latest
- [@http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21935&package_id=16608
- Docbook XSL] version and unpack it. Be careful that you download the correct
- file, sometimes the 'looking for the latest version' link often links to
- another file. The name should be of the form
- '''<code>docbook-xsl-1.<emphasis>nn</emphasis>.<emphasis>n</emphasis>.tar.bz2</code>''',
- with no suffix such as `-ns.tar.bz2` or `-doc.tar.bz2`.
- Put the results in
- `/usr/local/share/xsl/docbook`, thus effectively removing the version
- number from the directory name (for simplicity).
-
-# Add the following to your `user-config.jam` file, which should live in
- your home directory (`/Users/<your_username>`). You must already have it
- somewhere or otherwise you could not be building Boost (i.e. missing
- tools configuration).
- ```
- using xsltproc ;
-
- using boostbook
- : "/usr/local/share/xsl/docbook"
- : "/usr/local/share/xml/docbook/4.2"
- ;
- ```
-
-The above steps are enough to get a functional BoostBook setup. Quickbook
-will be automatically built when needed. If you want to avoid these
-rebuilds and install a system-wide Quickbook instead:
-
-# Go to Quickbook's source directory (`BOOST_ROOT/tools/quickbook`).
-
-# Build the utility by issuing `bjam`.
-
-# Copy the resulting `quickbook` binary (located at
- `BOOST_ROOT/dist/bin`) to a safe place. Following our previous

-
-# Add the following to your `user-config.jam` file:
- ```
- using quickbook
- : "/usr/local/bin/quickbook" ;
- ;
- ```
-
-[# osx-prebuilt-doxygen]
-Additionally, if you need to build documentation that uses
-[@http://www.doxygen.org Doxygen], you will need to install it too:
-
-# Go to the [@http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html#latestsrc
- downloads section] and get the disk image (`dmg` file) for Mac OS X.
-
-# Open the disk image and drag the Doxygen application to your
- `Applications` folder to install it.
-
-# Add the following to your `user-config.jam` file:
- ```
- using doxygen
- : /Applications/Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources/doxygen
- ;
- ```
-
-[/ Removed this, since there are macports based instructions earlier.

-paths shown below are taken from a Windows Vista machine; you will need to
-adjust them to match your system in case you are running an older version.
-
-# First of all you need to have a copy of `xsltproc` for Windows. There
- are many ways to get this tool, but to keep things simple, use the
- [@http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/ binary packages] made by Igor
- Zlatkovic. At the very least, you need to download the following
- packages: `iconv`, `zlib`, `libxml2` and `libxslt`.
-
-# Unpack all these packages in the same directory so that you get unique
- `bin`, `include` and `lib` directories within the hierarchy. These
- instructions use `C:\Users\example\Documents\boost\xml` as the root for
- all files.
-
-# From the command line, go to the `bin` directory and launch
- `xsltproc.exe` to ensure it works. You should get usage information on
- screen.
-
-# Download [@http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.2/docbook-xml-4.2.zip Docbook XML
- 4.2] and unpack it in the same directory used above. That is:
- `C:\Users\example\Documents\boost\xml\docbook-xml`.
-
-# Download the latest
- [@http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21935&package_id=16608

-
-[heading Can I use QuickBook for non-Boost documentation?]
-
-QuickBook can be used for non-Boost documentation with a little extra work.
-
-[:['Faq contributed by Michael Marcin]]
-
-When building HTML documentation with BoostBook a Boost C++ Libraries header
-is added to the files. When using QuickBook to document projects outside of
-Boost this is not desirable. This behavior can be overridden at the BoostBook
-level by specifying some XSLT options. When using Boost Build version 2 (BBv2)
-this can be achieved by adding parameters to the BoostBook target declaration.
-
-For example:
-[pre
-using quickbook ;
-
-xml my_doc : my_doc.qbk ;
-
-boostbook standalone
- :
- my_doc
- :
- <xsl:param>boost.image.src\=images/my_project_logo.png
- <xsl:param>boost.image.alt\="\\"My Project\\""
- <xsl:param>boost.image.w=100
- <xsl:param>boost.image.h=50
- <xsl:param>nav.layout=none
- ;
-]
-
-[heading Is there an easy way to convert BoostBook docs to QuickBook?]
-
-There's a stylesheet that allows Boostbook generated HTML to be viewed
-as quickbook source, see
-[@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/QuickbookSourceStylesheetProject],
-so it's then just a cut and paste job to convert the BoostBook to
-QuickBook (which IMO is a whole lot easier to edit and maintain).

+[section:syntax Syntax Summary]
+
+A QuickBook document is composed of one or more blocks. An example of
+a block is the paragraph or a C++ code snippet. Some blocks have
+special mark-ups. Blocks, except code snippets which have their own
+grammar (C++ or Python), are composed of one or more phrases. A phrase
+can be a simple contiguous run of characters. Phrases can have special
+mark-ups. Marked up phrases can recursively contain other phrases, but
+cannot contain blocks. A terminal is a self contained block-level or
+phrase-level element that does not nest anything.
+
+Blocks, in general, are delimited by two end-of-lines (the block terminator).
+Phrases in each block cannot contain a block terminator. This way, syntax errors
+such as un-matched closing brackets do not go haywire and corrupt anything past
+a single block.
+
+[section Comments]
+
+Can be placed anywhere.
