BoostBook element namespace

namespace — Declares a namespace

Synopsis

namespace ::= (class| class-specialization| struct| struct-specialization| union| union-specialization| typedef| enum| free-function-group| function| overloaded-function| namespace)*

Description

BoostBook namespaces are declared via the <namespace> element. As in C++, namespaces can be nested and contain other C++ constructs, such as classes or functions. The name attribute of a <namespace> element gives the namespace name (e.g., "boost"). The Any library is defined entirely within namespace boost by:

<library-reference>
  <header name="boost/any.hpp">
    <namespace name="boost">  
      <!-- C++ constructs in the boost namespace -->
    </namespace>
  </header>
</library-reference>
