Description

Boost Tools are maintained in the tools/ directory of the superproject, in parallel to the libs/ (all the boost libraries).

The earlier website provided links in a few places, such as this page:
https://original.boost.org/doc/tools.html

or see screenshot below.

Ideas to include hyperlinks to tools/ on the new website. https://www.boost.org/libraries/latest/list/ at the end of the list, add a section:

"Boost Tools"

Below that heading, a list of the items, similar to the libraries list. An "Additional/Other/Internal Boost Tools" section could be added at the bottom of each of the three views

https://www.boost.org/libraries/latest/list/
https://www.boost.org/libraries/latest/grid/
https://www.boost.org/libraries/latest/categorized/

This may be the right method, or it may provide too much visibility to "internal developer tools" that end-users don't often need. At least, some method should be found to display the tools/ docs.
