Now that I've started to use Quickbook for a major project, I am liking it more and more. Of course, with that comes visions of an even greater tool. :)
I've already run into a number of situations where I'd like to have some missing functionality. Here are a few items: - Chapters, _a_la_ LaTeX - Subsections, _a_la_ LaTeX - Inclusion of .qbk files - A way to specify HTML page breaks (i.e. put everything after this on a new page). These may or may not specify page breaks for other outputs. Perhaps multiple break types would be useful. - Superscript/subscript support - Footnote/bibliography/reference support (can fake it, but it's awkward) - A way to reference code snippits directly from source files. This seems complicated but would be really useful to keep documentation/code examples up-to-date with actual implmentations. Perhaps some special marker comment in the code could be referenced to import into a .qbk. Kind of like a literate programming system but without the awful code mangling it implies. I've read about systems like this called "Elucidative Programming:" http://www.cs.auc.dk/~odin/thesis/ If these features exist and I missed them in the documentation, let me know. I don't know how much of this is doable given the abilities of BoostBook but I wanted to give some feedback to make a great tool even better. -Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
