Table of Contents
This documentation makes use of the following naming and formatting conventions.
fixed width
          font and is syntax-highlighted.
        italics.
        (), as in free_function().
        class_template<>;
          that is, it is in code font and its name is followed by <>
          to indicate that it is a class template.
        MACRO();
          that is, it is uppercase in code font and its name is followed by () to indicate that it is a function-like
          macro. Object-like macros appear without the trailing ().

| In addition, notes such as this one specify non-essential information that provides additional background or rationale. | 
Finally, you can mentally add the following to any code fragments in this document:
// Include all of Ratio files #include <boost/ratio.hpp> using namespace boost;
Boost.Ratio aims to implement the compile time ratio facility in C++0x, as proposed in N2661 - A Foundation to Sleep On. That document provides background and motivation for key design decisions and is the source of a good deal of information in this documentation.
The Boost.Ratio library provides:
ratio, for specifying compile
            time rational constants such as 1/3 of a nanosecond or the number of
            inches per meter. ratio represents a compile time
            ratio of compile time constants with support for compile time arithmetic
            with overflow and division by zero protection.
          boost::ratio<N, D> in the form of a std::basic_string
            which can be useful for I/O.
          ratio<> in the context
            of Boost.MPL numeric metafunctions.
