I see these templates are defined in `website/feed/ext.qbk`. How or when is that source being pulled into the documentation ? (That's presumably what you are referring to as "release notes infrastructure" ?) There's an '[import ext.qbk]' at the top of the release notes, which imports all the templates and macros. When building the release notes quickbook is called with the appropriate include path (i.e. something

You can add an include path in Boost Build using '<include>':

path-constant include_path : path-to-include-dir ;

xml target : source.qbk : <include>$(include_path) ;

Thanks !

As I mentioned in a prior reply in this thread, I'd really like to be able to use such features in my projects' own documentation, i.e. as part of a regular documentation build, which has no notion of the above `website` code. But that would only work if such templates would become part of `quickbook` itself, rather than being integrated into a separate boost module such as `website`. I wouldn't want to make something so specific part of the language. We could make a template library available somewhere though.

Exactly, that's what I had in mind: some "runtime" that's part of the documentation module itself, rather than "website" or other mostly independent downstream project. Regards, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
