You definitely wouldn't want to do that ;)

I've had some experience in converting documentation and I concluded that it was
easier to start from the displayed text and copy'n'paste into a Quickbook file,
adding layout as I went.

If the files have Doxygen-syntax comments , then these will form a reference
section with little or no effort.

But have you have to be 'fluent' in Quickbook, of course.
