Adding my boilerplate seems easy - [include my-stuff.qbk] - looks like
it will be sufficient.

The problem is getting rid of automatically generated stuff. Most of
it turned out to be navbar stuff that I was able to suppress via the
Jamfile.

What I haven't been able to suppress are these three lines of html:

<table cellpadding="2" width="100%"><tr><td valign="top"></td></tr></table>
<hr>
...
<div class="titlepage"><hr></div>

Is there currently a way to get rid of the empty table and the two
<hr> elements?

A document type that says, in effect, "Please generate no content
unless I explicitly ask for it" would have saved me hours of effort.

Thanks,
