Well if you just want it "look" like QuickBook try saving the attached 
boost.css over an existing one, like the one at boost-root, and looking 
at a page that uses it, like the Boost.Regex docs. It's a gag only of 
course  [**] But sure if someone has an HTML renderer handy they can 
subvert to quickly translate into QuickBook that would be a huge start.

Upon a bit of trying it out... It looks like the newest Opera has just 
such a render. If you look at such pages, like the Boost.Regex docs in 
the latest Opera and then have it save the page as text it saves all 
that nice QuickBook content the CSS inserts. So how's that for a quick 
translation, pun intended 

[**] It will only work on modern browsers.
