About:
kdoctools is a utility suite for generating documentation from DocBook XML sources. It provides tools like meinproc to convert DocBook files into HTML, KDE Help Center format, or other output formats. This enables developers to easily produce user-facing documentation for KDE applications and other projects using the standard DocBook format.
Key Features:
  • Converts DocBook XML to HTML and other formats
  • Integrates with KDE Help Center
  • Supports standard DocBook processing
  • Provides command-line utilities for document compilation
Use Cases:
  • Generating HTML documentation for KDE software projects
  • Converting DocBook XML manuals to web-friendly formats
  • Building offline help systems for desktop applications
Alternatives:
  • docbook-xsl – Provides the raw XSLT stylesheets; kdoctools offers a more integrated wrapper and tooling for KDE projects
  • asciidoctor – Uses a lighter AsciiDoc syntax instead of XML, focusing on modern web publishing
