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

What about the 'library' type?  This should all be explained in the quickbook documentation, along with a look to the proper docbook page for the other types perhaps?

That's an old bug report:

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1483

As I implied in a previous mail, I'm only getting to grips with that part of boostbook at the moment.

Heh, well fop is what quickbook recommends and uses

No it isn't.

never heard of xep, will it pick it up if I aptitude install it?

No, it's not open source.

But RendeX helpfully gave permission for it to be used free to generate Boost docs. Otherwise you probably should buy it :-( (Unlike fop, it actually works ;-) (I found specifying the line in my user-config was picky # XSLT-FO processor from RenderX.com using fop : # XEP batch filename # Note you may need to increase the Java heap size.
