+ <para>The GNOME <application>Help</application> browser, also known
+ as <command>yelp</command>, and the KDE
+ <application>Khelp</application> documentation browser can render
+ DocBook XML information as needed. Use these applications to
+ preview your work if you prefer reading your work in a

+ <screen><![CDATA[yelp file:///path/to/parent-file.xml]]></screen>
+ <para>Make sure to point the preferred help browser at the top
+ parent file of your XML document. Once the document loads, you
