3.6. Previewing Your Work

The GNOME Help browser, also known as yelp, and the KDE Khelp documentation browser can render DocBook XML information as needed. Use these applications to preview your work if you prefer reading your work in a browser-like environment. Run the following command:

yelp file:///path/to/parent-file.xml

Make sure to point the preferred help browser at the top parent file of your XML document. Once the document loads, you can add a bookmark for it for ease of use later.

[Tip] Using Bookmarks

Keeping your documents in the same place for every checkout session makes help browser bookmarks more effective.

Once you have a bookmark stored, it will appear in the help browser at every use. You can now hit F1 during any GUI session to launch the help browser. Then choose your bookmark from the menu to preview your document at any time.
