you need to get sensible output :)

XML errors are sort of exponential.  If the first one is "I can't find the 
DTD" then pretty much every tag you use will cause another error.  Fix that 
first one, and all the others go away - because they really aren't errors.

What version of libxml2 do you have installed? 2.4.24 through 2.4.28 have bugs 
that prevent any KDE docs building, so that's the first thing to check.

The second thing to check is that you have that version of the DTD installed - 
that would require you have CVS HEAD kdelibs/kdoctools/customization/ 
installed (you should be able to simply copy that into place without having 
to build all of kdelibs, if you don't want to install HEAD.)  If you've an 
earlier version of KDE installed, find the 
kdelibs/kdoctools/template.docbook, and use the version from that instead.
