hehe, well it certainly helps in that I don't have to stick my nose into a root directory anymore, so I can continue from the safety of my home folder. ^^ However, it does seem a bit awkward to have to keep converting this thing to an HTML file after each change. Not hard to do, but just awkward in that it's not already a feature somewhere. You would think given the importance of our documentation, there'd be more DocBook tools to help potential new contributors submit their work. Having worked with the format this evening, I actually don't find it that hard (in fact, it's even a little easier than HTML in some parts), and that's why I don't know for the life of me why there are so few WYSIWYG editors and even viewers that work exclusively with this format. I'd hope that creating a simple DocBook viewer for KDE4 wouldn't be any harder than taking KHelpCenter and adding on a few extra menu options and maybe Kate integration. Maybe an actual Dev can prove me wrong, but it's just something that's been on my mind. ;) --Arturo "C-quel" Silva
