<h1>Welcome</h1> | |
<p>Welcome to the Boost libraries! By the time you've completed this | |
tutorial, you'll be at least somewhat comfortable with the contents | |
of a Boost distribution and how to go about using it.</p> | |
</div> | |
<div class="section" id="what-s-here"> | |
<h1>What's Here</h1> | |
<p>This document is designed to be an <em>extremely</em> gentle introduction, | |
so we included a fair amount of material that may already be very | |
familiar to you. To keep things simple, we also left out some | |
information intermediate and advanced users will probably want. At | |
the end of this document, we'll refer you on to resources that can | |
help you pursue these topics further.</p> | |
</div> | |
<div class="section" id="preliminaries"> | |
<h1>Preliminaries</h1> | |
<p>We use one typographic convention that might not be immediately | |
obvious: <em>italic</em> text in examples is meant as a descriptive | |
placeholder for something else, usually information that you'll | |
provide. For example:</p> | |
<pre class="literal-block"> | |
<strong>$</strong> echo "My name is <em>your name</em>" | |
</pre> | |
<p>Here you're expected to imagine replacing the text “your name” with | |
your actual name.</p> | |
