Yes, that's all that's needed. QuickBook is a BoostBook authoring tool. 
It lets you write BoostBook documentation with simple mark-up syntax, 
and without having to read, write, or worry about XML. But it's really 
BoostBook under the covers, so you get the wholesome goodness of 
HTML/fo/PDF/man generation.
