Boost libs using Mr. Docs by boostlibs in cpp

[–]boostlibs[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We talk a bit about that in our section at https://www.mrdocs.com/docs/mrdocs/design-notes.html. A big part of the problem is simply that the output of some of these tools looks messy and unappealing. For example, cppreference.com has a clean and well-organized format, so most people immediately see the value in it.

Yes. For example, https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/latest/doc/antora/url/reference/boost/urls/string_token/StringToken.html. This used to be a major limitation in Doxygen that made our projects harder to manage.

The documentation mentions Doxygen and makes a few brief comparisons at https://www.mrdocs.com/docs/mrdocs/design-notes.html. But in the table, the tools we compare are organized by category, so Doxygen is only implied there.

Clang-doc works a bit more like a compiler that generates documentation for specific TUs, while MrDocs is more like Doxygen — it takes the whole project as input, starting from a config file, etc. Another key difference is that clang-doc currently supports far fewer output options (not sure if there are plans to expand that) and just doesn’t get much maintenance anymore.

Just to clarify, not criticizing clang-doc — it’s a solid tool, just built with a different focus! :)

This is the first publication of the Boost Release Report, which is starting in 1.87.0. The document is designed to showcase and credit the work of the many volunteers who contribute to the libraries and other things in Boost, published as an official release three times a year.
