A succesfully with meinproc4 generated documentation can be broken, please use 
checkXML and the EBN.

And xml2pot, which does the docmessage extraction for the translators, is 
really pedantic eg about the order of special entities in the docbook.
So it is possible (and happens every now and then) to break the i18n toolchain 
of kde completely with a valid xml file.

So I'd like to check it locally.

Well, it already is (I hope) docbook. It's just without CSS so it looks a bit 
flat, but still generated with meinproc4.

But now that you mention it, I sometimes read about reviewers that seem to be 
hanging around somewhere, that check the handbooks for markup problems and 
such, I believe I understand.

Do those reviewers read the markup before or after commiting? (not that I feel 
like committing any time too soon)

Hands up if you feel spoken to :-)

Hi Manfred :)

A list is fine I think as there is already a ToC at the beginning of the 
handbook. Nice start! Do you need help in converting it to docbook?

For linking to other handbooks, I think it is possible but I can't find the 
right tag. Perhaps someone else can confirm/infirm?

Best regards,

Hi,

I wrote the Autostart manager documentation and I don't understand fully what 
you mean.  Please can you suggest any sentences to add in the doc?

Thanks in advance for giving more precisions,

Anne-Marie
