+ <p>Boost does not have any requirements on how you write your
+ documentation. If you are submitting a library that already has written
+ documentation in HTML format, there is no reason to change it to follow any
+ of the guidelines presented here. However, if you have documentation that's
+ not in HTML format and can't be easily converted to HTML, or if you're
+ starting on a library from scratch or have a library with no documentation
+ then these guidelines can make writing the documentation much easier.</p>
+
+ <p>The section on <a href="structure.html">Documentation Structure</a>
+ describes how to go about structuring the documentation's content. This
+ section may be helpful even for libraries that already have documentation.
+ If there's a desire to present the library for possible inclusion by the
+ C++ Standards Committee then there may be a need to restructure the
+ documentation's content in order to insure the content meets explicit
+ requirements for library components (Section 17.3).</p>
+
+ <p>The section on <a href="design.html">HTML Design</a> gives general rules
+ to follow when writing HTML documentation in order to give a professional
+ and consistent look. This section also contains some template files that
+ can be used to rapidly create documentation pages.</p>
