<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>
