How to read DocBook file?

[Kent West <westk@acu.edu>]

I'm trying to find out how to set "noauth" globally in kppp (or at least 
let a normal user set it), but apparently KDE's documentation is in 
docbook format, and is quite unreadable in all the editors/word 
processors/browsers I've tried (gedit, kedit, nedit, vi, abiword, OOo, 
Mozilla, Konqueror).

I've both googled and dogpiled for this question, and it seems like 
maybe docbook files have to be converted to some other format first, 
like by using docbook2html or something similar. But surely there's a 
reader (or a browser plugin, etc) of some sort that would automatically 
make docbook files readable. To me, having to convert a file before 
being able to read it will be a major turn-off for the masses, because 
it is for me, and I'm more geeky than the masses.


Thanks for any hints.
