[Geany] Using Geany to edit QuickBook/Boostbook files - has anyone done so?

Hi all -

I'm about to help out with doing some docs for Boost::Spirit (a parser 
lib that is part of Boost).

I'll be using a tool called "QuickBook" which I believe  is very similar 
to BoostBook.  Anyway, I found this section in the Boost docs     about 
using the Scintilla editing component (which Geany uses, iirc) to 
highlight Quickbook tags -
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/doc/html/quickbook/editors.html

It gives this snippet of code -

qbk=*.qbk
lexer.*.qbk=props
use.tabs.$(qbk)=0
tab.size.$(qbk)=4
indent.size.$(qbk)=4
style.props.32=$(font.base)
comment.stream.start.props=[/
comment.stream.end.props=]
comment.box.start.props=[/
comment.box.middle.props=
comment.box.end.props=]


 A question or two here -
a) Has anyone used Geany to edit QuickBook files? 
b) In Geany's dir structure, where would I put the above code snippet so 
that .qbk files are highlighted?  Is it in /geany-0.17/data (and do I 
name the file "filetypes.quickbook"? ) 

Many thanks in advance!  Bye for now -
- Andy
