+[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:
+
+[:[@../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
+
+[endsect]
+
+[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   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.
+* 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.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[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]
+
+[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]
+
+[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]
+
+[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]
+[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]
+[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]
+[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]
+[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`.
+
+[table Supported Source Modes
+ [[Mode] [Source Mode Markup]]
+ [[C++] [[^\[c++\]]]]
+ [[Python] [[^\[python\]]]]
+]
+
+[note The source mode strings are lowercase.]
+
+[endsect]
+[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__.
+
+[endsect]
+[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/]
+
+[endsect]
+[section Anchor links]
+
+You can link within a document using:
+
+[pre'''
+[link section_id.normalized_header_text The link text]
+''']
+
+See sections __section__ and __heading__ for more info.
+
+[endsect]
+[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]
+[section:code_links Code Links]
+
+If you want to link to a function, class, member, enum, concept 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]
+''']
+
+Again, the link text is optional. If this is not present, the link text will
+automatically be the function, class, member, enum, macro, concept or header. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[classref boost::bar::baz]
+''']
+
+would have "boost::bar::baz" as the link text.
+
+[endsect]
+[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]
+[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]
+[section Images]
+
+[pre'''
+[$image.jpg]
+''']
+
+[endsect]
+[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].
+
+[section Macro Expansion]
+
+[pre'''
+__a_macro_identifier__
+''']
+
+See __macros__ for details.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section Template Expansion]
+
+[pre'''
+[a_template_identifier]
+''']
+
+See __templates__ for details.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[endsect]
+[endsect]
+[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 1.3]
+ [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 1.3 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.
+
+=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]
+[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 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]
+[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.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section Lists]
+[section Ordered lists]
+
+[pre
+# One
+# Two
+# Three
+]
+
+will generate:
+
+# One
+# Two
+# Three
+
+[endsect]
+[section List Hierarchies]
+
+List hierarchies are supported. Example:
+
+[pre
+# One

+
+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]]

+
+[endsect]
+[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]
+[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.

+[tip This is a tip]
+[important This is important]
+[caution This is a caution]

+These are the only admonitions supported by __docbook__. So,

+
+[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="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 section_id.normalized_header_text The link text]
+''']
+
+to link to them. See __anchor_links__ and __section__ for more info.
+
+[endsect]
+[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]
+[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]
+[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]
+[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.syntax.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.syntax.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.syntax.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 [^".."]. If there
+are less arguments passed than expected, QuickBook attempts to break the
+last argument into two or more 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".
+
+It should be obvious now that for simple arguments with no spaces, we can
+get by without separating the arguments with [^".."] separators. It is
+possible to combine [^".."] separators with the argument passing
+simplification presented above. Example:
+
+[pre'''
+[simple what do you think ..m a n?]
+''']
+
+will produce:
+
+[simple what do you think ..m a n?]
+
+[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.syntax.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>

+
+The table title is optional. The first row of the table is automatically
+treated as the table header; that is, it is wrapped in

+
+[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]]
+]
+
+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]
+[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]
+
+[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 [@../../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 [@../../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.
+
+[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]
+
+Checkout [@../../test/stub.cpp stub.cpp] to see the actual code.

+[section:install Installation and configuration]
+
+This section provides some guidelines on how to install and configure
+BoostBook and Quickbook under several operating systems.
+
+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:windows Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista]
+
+[python]
+
+[:['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. 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/docbook-xml"
+ ;
+
+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 --v2`.
+
+# Copy the resulting `quickbook.exe` binary (located under the
+ `BOOST_ROOT\bin.v2` hierarchy) to a safe place. Following our previous
+ example, you can install it into:
+ `C:\Users\example\Documents\boost\xml\bin`.
+
+# Add the following to your `user-config.jam` file:
+
+ using quickbook
+ : "C:/Users/example/Documents/boost/xml/bin/quickbook.exe"
+ ;
+
+[endsect]
+
+[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.
+
+First install the `bjam`, `xsltproc`, `docbook-xsl` and `docbook-xml` packages.
+For example, using `apt-get`:
+
+ sudo apt-get install xsltprc 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].
+
+ using xsltproc ;
+
+ using boostbook
+ : /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh
+ : /usr/share/xml/docbook/schema/dtd/4.2
+ ;
+
+ # Remove this line if you're not using doxygen
+ using doxygen ;
+
+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 --v2`.
+
+# Copy the resulting `quickbook` binary (located under the
+ `BOOST_ROOT/bin.v2` hierarchy) 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
+ ;

+[section:editors Editor Support]
+
+Editing quickbook files is usually done with text editors both simple and
+powerful. The following sections list the settings for some editors which can
+help make editing quickbook files a bit easier.
+
+[blurb __note__ You may submit your settings, tips, and suggestions to the
+authors, or through the [@https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/boost-

+[section:scite Scintilla Text Editor]
+
+[:['Section contributed by Dean Michael Berris]]
+
+The Scintilla Text Editor (SciTE) is a free source code editor for Win32 and X.
+It uses the SCIntilla source code editing component.
+
+[blurb __tip__ SciTE can be downloaded from [@http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html]]
+
+You can use the following settings to highlight quickbook tags when
+editing quickbook files.
+
+[pre'''
+qbk=*.qbk
+lexer.*.qbk=props
+use.tabs.$(qbk)=0
+tab.size.$(qbk)=4

+[section:faq Frequently Asked Questions]
+
+[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
