43When you want content that may or must be replaced by the user, use the syntax:
44
45```
46[~replacement]
47```
48
49This will generate:

64["A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?]--Einstein
65
66Note the proper left and right quote marks. Also, while you can simply use
67ordinary quote marks like "quoted", our quotation, above, will generate correct
68DocBook quotations (e.g. <quote>quoted</quote>).
69
70Like all phrase elements, quotations may be nested. Example:
71
72```
73["Here's the rule for bargains: ["Do other men, for they would do you.] That's
74the true business precept.]
75```
76
77will generate:

84[#quickbook.ref.simple_formatting]
85[section:simple_formatting Simple formatting]
86
87Simple markup for formatting text, common in many applications, is now supported:
88
89```
90/italic/, *bold*, _underline_, =teletype=
91```
92
93will generate:
94
95/italic/, *bold*, _underline_, =teletype=
96
97Unlike QuickBook's standard formatting scheme, the rules for simpler
98alternatives are much stricter[footnote Thanks to David Barrett, author of
99[@http://quinthar.com/qwikiwiki/index.php?page=Home Qwiki], for sharing
100these samples and teaching me these obscure formatting rules. I wasn't sure
101at all if __spirit__, being more or less a formal EBNF parser, can handle
102the context sensitivity and ambiguity.].
103
104* Simple markups cannot nest. You can combine a simple markup with a nestable markup.
105* Simple markups cannot contain any other form of quickbook markup.
106* A non-space character must follow the leading markup
107* A non-space character must precede the trailing markup
108* A space or a punctuation must follow the trailing markup
109* If the matching markup cannot be found within a block, the formatting
110 will not be applied. This is to ensure that un-matched formatting markups,
111 which can be a common mistake, does not corrupt anything past a single block.
112 We do not want the rest of the document to be rendered bold just because we
113 forgot a trailing '*'. A single block is terminated by two end of lines or
114 the close bracket: '\]'.
115* A line starting with the star will be interpreted as an unordered list.
116 See __unordered_lists__.
117
118[table More Formatting Samples

122 [[`* Not bold* *Not bold * * Not bold *`] [* Not bold* *Not bold * * Not bold *]]

133 [[`*side-by*/-side/`] [*side-by*/-side/]]
134]
135
136As mentioned, simple markups cannot go past a single block. The text
137from "have" to "full" in the following paragraph will be rendered as
138bold:
139
140```
141Baa baa black sheep, *have you any wool?
142Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!*
143One for the master, one for the dame,
144And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
145```
146
147Baa baa black sheep, *have you any wool?
148Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!*
149One for the master, one for the dame,
150And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
151
152But in the following paragraph, bold is not applied:
153
154```
155Baa baa black sheep, *have you any wool?
156Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!
157One for the master, one for the dame,
158And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
159```
160
161Baa baa black sheep, *have you any wool?
162Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!
163One for the master, one for the dame,
164And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

168[#quickbook.ref.role]
169[section:role Role]
170
171This generates a docbook phrase with a `role` attribute, which can be used
172to classify the phrase. This can be used to mark text for a use that isn't
173covered elsewhere. The docbook `role` will generate a html class, which can
174be used to style text. And the xsl stylesheets can be customized to treat
175certain roles specially when generating pdfs.
176
177The boostbook css stylesheets, and xsl stylesheets
178contain support for a limited number of colours that can be used with
179`role`. For example if you write:
180
181 [role red Text content]
182
183You'll get red text if you're using the boostbook css (for html) or
184the boostbook xsl for generating pdfs.
185
186The full list of colours that will be available is:
187
188* [role red red]
189* [role green green]
190* [role lime lime]
191* [role blue blue]
192* [role navy navy]
193* [role yellow yellow]
194* [role magenta magenta]
195* [role indigo indigo]
196* [role cyan cyan]
197* [role purple purple]

204[#quickbook.ref.inline_code]
205[section:inline_code Inline code]
206
207Inlining code in paragraphs is quite common when writing C++ documentation. We
208provide a very simple markup for this. For example, this:
209
210```
211This text has inlined code `int main() { return 0; }` in it.
212```
213
214will generate:
215
216This text has inlined code `int main() { return 0; }` in it. The code will be
217syntax highlighted.
218
219[note We simply enclose the code with the tick: [^"\`"], not the
220single quote: `"'"`. Note too that [^\`some code\`] is preferred over
221`[^some code]`. ]
222
223[endsect] [/inline_code]
224
225[#quickbook.ref.code_blocks]
226[section:code_blocks Code blocks]
227
228Preformatted code simply starts with a space or a tab (See __code__).
229However, such a simple syntax cannot be used as phrase elements in lists
230(See __ordered_lists__ and __unordered_lists__), tables (See __tables__),
231etc. Inline code (see above) can. The problem is, inline code does not
232allow formatting with newlines, spaces, and tabs. These are lost.
233
234We provide a phrase level markup that is a mix between the two. By using the
235double-tick or triple-tick, instead of the single-tick, we are telling QuickBook
236to use preformatted blocks of code. Example:
237
238```
239``\`\` ``
240 #include <iostream>
241
242 int main()
243 {
244 std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
245 return 0;
246 }
247``\`\`\ ``
248```
249
250or:
251
252```
253``\`\`\` ``
254 #include <iostream>
255
256 int main()
257 {
258 std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
259 return 0;
260 }
261``\`\`\` ``
262```
263
264will generate:
265
266[c++]
267
268``
269 #include <iostream>
270
271 int main()
272 {
273 std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
274 return 0;
275 }
276``

281
282[#quickbook.ref.source_mode]
283[section:source_mode Source Mode]
284
285If a document contains more than one type of source code then the source
286mode may be changed dynamically as the document is processed. All QuickBook
287documents are initially in C++ mode by default, though an alternative
288initial value may be set in the __document__ section.
289
290To change the source mode, use the [^\[source-mode\]] markup, where
291=source-mode= is one of the supported modes. For example, this:
292
293```
294Python's [python] `import` is rather like C++'s [c++] `#include`. A
295C++ comment `// looks like this` whereas a Python comment [python]
296`# looks like this`.
297```
298
299will generate:

324
325[warning `[br]` generates invalid docbook. It seems to mostly work okay but
326there might be problems, especially when using an alternative docbook
327processor.]

331[#quickbook.ref.anchors]
332[section:anchors Anchors]
333
334```
335[#named_anchor]
336```
337
338A named anchor is a hook that can be referenced by a link elsewhere in the
339document. You can then reference an anchor with `[link named_anchor
340Some link text]`. See __anchor_links__, __section__ and __heading__.
341
342These anchors are global and can be accessed from anywhere in the
343quickbook documentation. Be careful to avoid clashes with anchors in
344other sections.
345
346[endsect] [/anchors]
347
348[#quickbook.ref.links]
349[section:links Links]
350
351```
352[@http://www.boost.org this is [*boost's] website....]
353```
354
355will generate:
356
357[@http://www.boost.org this is [*boost's] website....]
358
359URL links where the link text is the link itself is common. Example:
360
361```
362see http://spirit.sourceforge.net/
363```
364
365so, when the text is absent in a link markup, the URL is assumed. Example:
366
367```
368see [@http://spirit.sourceforge.net/]
369```
370
371will generate:
372
373see [@http://spirit.sourceforge.net/]
374
375Boostbook also support a custom url schema for linking to files within
376the boost distribution:
377
378```
379[@boost:/libs/spirit/index.html the Boost.Spirit documentation]
380```
381
382will generate: [@boost:/libs/spirit/index.html the Boost.Spirit documentation]
383
384Note that this is only available when using BoostBook, and only for links
385- it can't be used for images.
386
387[endsect] [/links]
388
389[#quickbook.ref.anchor_links]
390[section:anchor_links Anchor links]
391
392You can link within a document using:
393
394```
395[link document_id.section_id.normalized_header_text The link text]
396```
397
398See sections __section__ and __heading__ for more info.
399
400[endsect] [/anchor_links]
401
402[#quickbook.ref.refentry_links]
403[section:refentry_links refentry links]
404
405In addition, you can link internally to an XML refentry like:
406
407```
408[link xml.refentry The link text]
409```
410
411This gets converted into [^<link linkend="xml.refentry">The link text</link>].
412
413Like URLs, the link text is optional. If this is not present, the link text will
414automatically be the refentry. Example:
415
416```
417[link xml.refentry]
418```
419
420This gets converted into [^<link linkend="xml.refentry">xml.refentry</link>].
421
422[endsect] [/refentry_links]
423
424[#quickbook.ref.code_links]
425[section:code_links Code Links]
426
427If you want to link to a function, class, member, enum, concept, global, or header in
428the reference section, you can use:
429
430```
431[funcref fully::qualified::function_name The link text]
432[classref fully::qualified::class_name The link text]
433[memberref fully::qualified::member_name The link text]
434[enumref fully::qualified::enum_name The link text]
435[macroref MACRO_NAME The link text]
436[conceptref ConceptName The link text]
437[headerref path/to/header.hpp The link text]
438[globalref fully::qualified::global The link text]
439```
440
441Again, the link text is optional. If this is not present, the link text will
442automatically be the function, class, member, enum, macro, concept, global, or header name.
443Example:
444
445```
446[classref boost::bar::baz]
447```
448
449would have "boost::bar::baz" as the link text.
450
451[endsect] [/code_links]
452
453[#quickbook.ref.escape]
454[section:escape Escape]
455
456The escape mark-up is used when we don't want to do any processing.
457
458```
459'''
460escape (no processing/formatting)
461'''
462```
463
464Escaping allows us to pass XML markup to __boostbook__ or __docbook__. For example:
465
466```
467'''
468<emphasis role="bold">This is direct XML markup</emphasis>
469'''
470```
471
472'''
473<emphasis role="bold">This is direct XML markup</emphasis>
474'''
475
476[important Be careful when using the escape. The text must conform to
477__boostbook__/__docbook__ syntax.]
478
479[endsect] [/escape]
480
481[#quickbook.ref.single_char_escape]
482[section:single_char_escape Single char escape]
483
484The backslash may be used to escape a single punctuation character. The
485punctuation immediately after the backslash is passed without any processing.
486This is useful when we need to escape QuickBook punctuations such as `[` and `]`.
487For example, how do you escape the triple quote? Simple: [^\\'\\'\\']
488
489
490`\n` has a special meaning. It is used to generate line breaks.
491
492[warning `\n` is now deprecated, use [link quickbook.ref.line_break `[br]`]
493instead. Although, use it sparingly as it can generated invalid docbook]
494
495The escaped space: `\ ` also has a special meaning. The escaped space is removed
496from the output.
497
498[endsect] [/single_char_escape]
499
500[#quickbook.ref.unicode_escape]
501[section:unicode_escape Unicode escape]
502
503You can enter any 16-bit unicode character by using `\u` followed by its 4 digit
504hexadecimal code, or a 32-bit character by using `\U` followed by an 8 digit
505hexadecimal code. eg.
506
507```
508\u03B1 + \u03B2
509```
510
511will generate:
512
513[:

528DocBook imagedata attributes]:
529
530```

536[#quickbook.ref.footnotes]
537[section:footnotes Footnotes]
538
539As of version 1.3, QuickBook supports footnotes. Just put the text of the
540footnote in a `[footnote]` block, and the text will be put at the bottom
541of the current page. For example, this:
542
543```
544[footnote A sample footnote]
545```
546
547will generate this[footnote A sample footnote].

572
573[#quickbook.ref.cond]
574[section:cond Conditional Generation]
575
576Like C++ `#ifdef`, you can generate phrases depending on the presence of
577a macro. Example:
578
579```
580[? __to_be__ To be or not to be]
581```
582
583[? __to_be__ To be or not to be]
584
585Here, the phrase "To be or not to be" will only be generated if the
586macro symbol `__to_be__` has been previously defined. The phrase
587above will not do anything since we haven't defined `__to_be__`.
588Now, let's define the symbol:
589
590```
591[def __to_be__]
592```
593
594[def __to_be__]
595
596And try again:
597
598[? __to_be__ To be or not to be]
599
600Yes!
