It was not prematurely terminated, I had to comment out that one line or quickbooks would not compile, which is odd because the documentation says that line should be allowed.  The id line is also in the documentation, but it is seeming like it is not supported either, but it still lets it compile...

I found out recently that some of the document info attributes are only valid for the 'library' documentation type. So I put in an error if they were used, but then I realised that it broke some of the documentation, so I changed it to a warning (this was about a month ago). I suspect that you built quickbook between those changes. If you're using a prebuilt quickbook, you should build it from a released version, since that will be better tested.

Also, what is the difference between article and the other possible types, the documentation did not elaborate at all, just listed them...

Still curious.

Types other than library are docbook document types. You can read about them in the docbook documentation.

Also, what about the man not building issue, and the fop issue?  Why does the setup sh script try to download a non-existing fop version, and why does fop1.0 fail with what boostbook generates for it, although fop0.95 works?

I wouldn't bother with fop, it doesn't produce very good results. We've have better luck with xep, The setup script is problematic, it breaks quite frequently. I've been thinking about deleting it or cutting it down to something simpler. The instructions I linked to earlier would setup quickbook without using that script. Daniel
