[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#350640: libboost-doc: html documentation leaves out name of library, difficult to read

[Kevin Dalley]

Package: libboost-doc
Version: 1.33.0-6
Severity: normal

For example,
/usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/HTML/doc/html/threads/concepts.html
contains the phrase:

<p> does not currently provide any mutex
				objects that use this strategy.  For ReadWriteMutexes on

which misses the subject of the sentence.

In the source code, the file libs/thread/doc/concepts.xml contains the
phrase:

				<para>&Boost.Threads; does not currently provide any mutex
				objects that use this strategy.  For ReadWriteMutexes on


"&Boost.Threads;" does not get substituted.  This problems occurs
repeatedly in the documentation.
