Facing 'such a long toolchain', I was wandering why there's such a grey
corner in the boost
world. :-) And, meanwhile, I'm humble with lack of the experience of
doc-making.

Hearing what you've said, I feel now much more relaxed. :-)

I have experience of Doxygen, Ghostscript(a long time ago), am aware of that
MikTeX is an 
implementaion of the famous system LaTEX by Knuth (or I'm wrong?). But I'm
quite unfamilar
with other stuffs, such as XSL style sheete, DocBook DTD, Iconv, libXslt,
and so much.

Perhaps finally I want to make clear that what raw materials, say scripts in
code or elsewhere,
through what workflow, are rendered to become a pdf file.

Thanks for your help. And one more question: Is it possible to make _one_
pdf doc file for
all of the boost packages by one run? yes or no? :-)

B/Rgds
