+# docca
+
+Docca is a set of XSLT transformations which converts Doxygen
+XML extracted from Javadoc comments in C++ source code, into
+Boost.Quickbook output
+
+These scripts are used by
+[Boost.Beast](https://github.com/boostorg/beast/)
+to generate the reference.
+For example, this
+[Javadoc comment](https://github.com/boostorg/beast/blob/b7230f12f16fe7a9f7a1ece5be1f607c8552448a/include/boost/beast/core/buffers_cat.hpp#L68])
+is extracted by Doxygen into an intermediate XML representation,
+then processed by the XSLT script via Saxon-HE to produce this
+[Boost.Quickbook page](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_71_0/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/ref/boost__beast__buffers_cat.html).
