Research direction

Start by locating the documentation's introduction and the current explanation of QuickBook. Clarify what QuickBook converts, whether it can be used without BoostBook, and make the introductory documentation answer those questions directly; the documentation should let a new reader understand the tool and its standalone use.

Description

From the docs I cannot figure out what QuickBook is. The introduction tells me about the history but not what it is. It is a tool that converts qbk files to something else, right? But what?
Can I use QuickBook without a BoostBook? The docs do not tell me this in a straight way.
