If you want a different look and feel, then yes things could be a lot better. However, within boost the consistency is a good thing IMO.
BTW the look and feel is in 2 parts:
* Different stylesheet, fluorescent dancing C++ keywords etc.... this is actually trivial to do. * Different Docbook customisation layer (and yes there are some formatting options that can only be addressed in XSL, not in XSL params). This is the hard one - or at least its the hard one if we're using Jamfiles. From the command line it's trivial if you don't mind writing a... ahem... makefile ;)
BTW is there any reason to continue using the Boostbook customisation layer? Is anyone actually using it?
Yes. Nobody writes it directly, but there's a stylesheet that converts doxygen's XML output into BoostBook.
I'm fairly sure quickbook doesn't, and it would sure simplify the build process to leave out one level of XSL transformation. Sadly we would need an XSL expert to sort that mess out I suspect :(
