Thanks.  I will fix the documentation.

It is on my todo list to change the docs to Quickbook.  It will likely
be awhile yet, only 
because I haven't spent the (likely minimal) time to put it on my
machine and learn it.  It 
there a small sample that I could start with, instead of starting from
scratch?  I started 
with the sample html documentation from boost for what is currently
there for boost::uuids.

Thanks again,
