Re: [boost] [Boost-docs] [quickbook] Thank you Daniel James

It's been a wish of mine, with some work done long ago towards it, to bring back some form of direct HTML generation. In particular to make quickbook backend generation programmable.

It's worth pointing out that it would be *very* hard to simulate the flexibility of the Docbook->HTML or Docbook->FO->PDF generators. There are still many things you can do in Docbook that can't be done in quickbook, and yes, I use quickbook's "escape to docbook" feature quite a bit. So for me at least it's worth going through the intermediate format(s) even though I'd be the first to admit that the XSLT processors are very slow, and don't scale to big docs well. John.
