Oh, and there was no book given. now do i need to also make the quest in the book as well?

that error is because of the way in which special html chars are handled in the XML .npc file.
The < char is turned into &lt; and the > char is turned into &gt;
You need to use the special html codes (&lt; or &gt;) if you are directly editing the .npc files with a text editor.
If you are entering the strings into the [xlmedit gump, then use the actual <> chars.
So just use [xmledit to edit the Action string and replace the &lt; with < and &gt; with >

I think I got it.
Did you put this: ADD/&lt;questholder/name/Kill Bobo/notestring/Bobo must go. Find him and kill him/objective1/KILLNAMED,Bobo,1/autoreward/true/rewardstring/@bag/ADD/gold,200
Instead of this: GIVE/<questholder/name/Kill Bobo/notestring/Bobo must go. Find him and kill him/objective1/KILLNAMED,Bobo,1/autoreward/true/rewardstring/@bag/ADD/gold,200
The second one is the correct one. I think you just mixed up the ADD and GIVE commands.
Edit: It could also be what Arte said

Image Shack seems to have shrunk it down, I can't read any of the text. If it's under 500k you can add it to your post as an attachment.

kk now take a peek

Have you tried removing the comma before questholder?
Your line starts:
GIVE/<,questholder/name
and I think it should be:
GIVE/<questholder/name
edit: or it might be a period you've got there, I can't tell Either way, try ditching it

You should save your npc the way it says to on page 6 and attach it to your next post so i can look at that one. (If Zyle's suggestion doesn't fix it. Good eye zyle ). I just tried to recreate your quest and it worked fine.
