First of all, did you look at the tutorials on 
http://quanta.kdewebdev.org/docs.php ? Especially 
http://quanta.kdewebdev.org/tutorials/quanta-docbook/quanta.html and 
the two presentation. Also the "Extending Quanta Plus" and "Converting 
a DTD to a DTEP" sections of the handbook should be useful for you.

DTD->Load & Convert DTD: select the docbookx.dtd you need and it will 
create a new DTEP that can be used by Quanta.

It works with whatever DTEP you select (from the available ones). See 
Settings->Configure Quanta->Environment->Default DTD (this will be the 
default if no project is loaded) or  Project->Project 
Properties->Default DTD (this is the default for all newly created 
project files or for those which don't have a !DOCTYPE line).

You can create your own versions based on those and modify the 
description.rc so the right ones are loaded. Or save a Project View 
with the toolbars you want.

Sincerely I don't know, as that tool was not written by me. Did you 
selected the .dtd file in the Definition URI line?

Again, I'm not sure about this, but send me the xsl and some xml files 
and I can try. I think in order to remember the long URL, you should 
not close the dialog, but keep it running in the background.
