    User Targets
    
 
     
    The Jam command line ends with an optional list of target names; if no
-    target names are supplied, the built-in pseudotarget all is built.
-    In a large project, naming targets can be dicey because of collisions. Jam
-    uses a mechanism called grist to distinguish targets
-    that would otherwise have the same name. Fortunately, you won't often have
-    to supply grist at the command-line. When you declare a main target, a Jam
-    pseudotarget of the same name is created which depends on all of the
-    subvariants requested for your invocation of the build system. For example,
-    if your subproject declares:
+    target names are supplied, the built-in pseudotarget all is

+    declare a main target, a Jam pseudotarget of the same name is created
+    which depends on all of the subvariants requested for your
+    invocation of the build system. For example, if your subproject
+    declares:
    
 
     
    
-
    exe my_target : my_source1.cpp my_source2.c ;
+
    +exe my_target : my_source1.cpp my_source2.c ;
 
    
     
    
-    and you invoke Jam with -sBUILD="debug release" my_target, you
-    will build both the debug and release versions of my_target. 
-
+    and you invoke Jam with -sBUILD="debug release" my_target,
+    you will build both the debug and release versions of my_target.
     
-
    These simple, ungristed names are called user targets, and are only 
-    available for the subproject where Jam is invoked. That way, builds from the 
-    top level (which may include many Jamfiles through the subinclude rule) and 
-    builds of library dependencies (which may live in other subprojects), don't 
-    collide. If it is necessary to refer more explicitly to a particular target 
-    from the command-line, you will have to add ``grist''. Please see this 
-    section for a more complete description of how to name particular targets 
-    in a build.

-    They have the same form as main targets but do not
-    initiate build requests. A target that lists a template as a dependency inherits
-    all the settings from the template, i.e. the templates sources, requirements and

-    template definition are always relative to the subdirectory of the Jamfile
-    containing the templates definition, regardless of the subdirectory of the dependent
-    main target. Typically a project will have at least one template target that handles
-    defines, include paths and additional compiler flags common to all targets in the project.

    Target Binding Detection
    
 
-      
    Whenever a target is bound to a location in the
-      filesystem, Boost Jam will look for a variable called BINDRULE (first
-      ``on'' the target being bound, then in the global module). If
-      non-empty, $(BINDRULE[1]) names a rule which is called with the
-      name of the target and the path it is being bound to. The signature of the
-      rule named by $(BINDRULE[1]) should match the following:
-
-
    rule bind-rule ( target : path )

       This facility is useful for correct header file scanning, since many

    Initiating a Build
    
 
-    
    Boost.Build responds to several global variable settings. The
-    easiest way to get going is usually to use environment variables,
-    though you can also set them on the command-line, using
-    -sVARIABLE_NAME=value.  In
-    addition to the toolset
-    configuration variables, you can use the TOOLS
-    variable to indicate which toolset(s) to build with, and the
-    BUILD variable to describe how you want things built. In
-    many cases it should be sufficient to invoke bjam
-    with no variable settings.

    Global Variables

    These simple, ungristed names are called user targets, and are
+    only available for the subproject where Jam is invoked. That way, builds
+    from the top level (which may include many Jamfiles through the
+    subinclude rule) and builds of library dependencies (which may live in
+    other subprojects), don't collide. If it is necessary to refer more

    This is a partial list of global variables that can be set on the
     command-line. Of course you are free to write your own Jam rules which
     interpret other variables from the command-line. This list just details
     some of the variables used by the build system itself. Note also that if
     you don't like the default values you can override them in your project's

-    all the settings from the template, i.e. the templates sources, requirements and

-    template definition are always relative to the subdirectory of the Jamfile
-    containing the templates definition, regardless of the subdirectory of the dependent
-    main target. Typically a project will have at least one template target that handles
-    defines, include paths and additional compiler flags common to all targets in the project.

    This artificially complex example shows how two executables called
+    "foo" and "fop" might be described in a Jamfile. All common settings are
+    factored out in the templates "base" and "executable". Foo is composed of

    Target Binding Detection
    
 
-      
    Whenever a target is bound to a location in the
-      filesystem, Boost Jam will look for a variable called BINDRULE (first
-      ``on'' the target being bound, then in the global module). If
-      non-empty, $(BINDRULE[1]) names a rule which is called with the
-      name of the target and the path it is being bound to. The signature of the
-      rule named by $(BINDRULE[1]) should match the following:
-
-
    rule bind-rule ( target : path )

       This facility is useful for correct header file scanning, since many
