Subject: [Boost-docs] Navigation buttons

I'm guessing that the ugly "X" icons indicate a failed attempt to display arrows
for "Prev", "Up", and "Next", and a house shape for "Home". If you have a
solution that will display the arrows and house, then that would be great

 

They do indeed L

You can investigate the cause using the right click, View Source option.  The
home page shows <img src=" <view-source:http://quince-lib.com/images/next.png>
images/next.png" alt="Next">.

So you don't have next.png in the expected /images folder.

If you want a standalone document, then you need to provide a folder images with
the png files you use.  You can copy from modular-boost\doc\src\images

If you intend it to be a Boost library, then using the 'standard' modular-boost
file structure with the documentation in /yourlibrary/doc  then the
Boostbook.css provided will point to the main Boost images at

modular-boost\doc\src\images  and everything works nicely.

Success! Many thanks.

I've taken the standalone approach.  Much as I would like it to be a boost
library one day, the verb i would use today is "wish" rather than "intend".



I hope - it looks very useful - and already has good docs.

If you are not doing this already, You may like to look at code snippets 

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/quickbook/syntax/block.html#quickb
ook.syntax.block.include

this allows you to include the actual code of your examples and ensures that the
code actually compiles (and runs).

If you use the new modular-boost structure, you can avoid sort of the annoyance
you had (links that assume position in the modular-boost file tree), and make
your stuff visible on GitHub so people can try out making it *look* as if it is
a Boost library.

Good luck!

 

Paul
