| <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> |
