Thank you very much for responding.  I will try this.

I am interested in writing my own documentation in the style of
KDE Documentation.  I am assuming when you say "writing KDE Documention"
below that really just
represents a set of Stylesheets, DTDs, etc.  Is this correct?

Can you tell me how does meinproc differ from the other tools I have seen
mentioned, jw, docbook2html, etc.?

Is meinproc written explicilty for 'KDE documentation' using XML files and
the other tools (docbook2html) assumes an SGML DocBook file?

The reason I want to get docbook working is to document other programming
details I have figured out for Linux to save other programmers time (Details
related to creating and using I/O Slaves, Fixes to installation bugs, etc)

Thanks again,
Ben Schepens

*FOR KDE* XML has replaced SGML.  Are you writing KDE based
documentation?  If so, you have all the tools you need in kdelibs 2.2.1
or better.

Use the template in kdelibs/kdoctools/template.docbook to start your
document.

Use checkXML (installed from kdelibs) to check your document is valid.

Use meinproc (also from kdelibs) to generate html files for use in
khelpcenter.

These tools depend on libxml2, and libxslt, and nothing else.  If you
have working help in KHelpCenter, then you must have these already.
