Here is a [http://l10n.kde.org/docs/doc-primer comprehensive manual] about KDE DocBooks creating.
=== EBN ===
EBN, or the [http://www.englishbreakfastnetwork.org English Breakfast Network], is a utility that both developers and documentation writers use to make sure they have created perfection for KDE. For documentation, there is are 2 utilities which will make your work easier:
# [http://www.englishbreakfastnetwork.org/sanitizer/?component=kde-4.x Documentation Sanitizer] - this utility within the EBN scours the trunk of the subversion repository checking the format of the documentation, discovering typos, grammar, markup, and more. This is a perfect utility for beginners looking to contribute as this tool pretty much tells you how to fix the issues.
# [http://www.englishbreakfastnetwork.org/sanitizer/just-in-time.php Just In Time] - this utility allows you to check your code/documentation and it will provide the same information that the sanitizer above produces. Use this before committing your patches or committing to subversion.
