It can be used in KWrite, Kate, Konqueror and KDevelop, and supports all the
constructs of Quickbook 1.4 including tables, list, templates and macros.

[heading Code Folding ]

boost::hs goes far beyond simple coloring. One useful thing
you can get the editor to do is to mark regions. They appear in a small grey line
and each region can be folded or unfolded independently.

[heading Auto Comment / Uncomment ]

Another important feature is the possibility to auto-comment or uncomment some
piece of code (/Tools - Comment/).
Commented regions can be uncommented simple calling the /uncomment/ command
while being in it.

[heading About boost::hs]

[$../../tools/quickbook/doc/html/images/extra/katepart/boost.hs.logo.png]

boost::hs::quickbook is a component of boost::hs, a syntax highlighting
for C++, doxygen, Boost.Build jamfiles and QuickBook.
boost::hs has his own page [@http://tinyurl.com/2l7u33 here].

[note
boost::hs::cpp support QuickBook code import comments style!
]

[heading Installing boost::hs]

There exist an ongoing effort to push boost::hs upstream to the KatePart
project. In a few months KDE may have native Quickbook support!
For the moment you must download and install it.

You can download boost::hs from
[@http://matias.capeletto.googlepages.com/boost_hs.zip here].

[note
A copy of boost::hs::quickbook and boost::hs::cpp is available in `boost/tools/quickbook/extra/katepart`.
]

In order to install it you must copy the content in the folder
[*katepart\/syntax\/] to the appropriate katepart syntax folder in your
machine. In general this folder will be in
[*\/usr\/share\/apps\/katepart\/syntax]. A bash script named ['install.sh]
is included that copy the files to this folder.
