I have not found any tool advertized on doc.kde.org. If thre is, I may 
try it.

LyX uses its own file format (which is text-based, suitable for CVS:-). 
LyX was originally designed for LaTeX, but as it can handle structural 
documents, DocBook and LinuxDoc are supported.
I had found a DocBook2LyX tool, but it comes with no doc, a set of about 
30 XSLT files, and it did not compile, no install thing, etc. Well, did 
not get it to run.
So for the moment, I am editing the LyX file, and exporting it from time 
to time.

www.lyx.org, I have RPMs for RH7.3 if you happen to use that.

If you have a clue about a markup language, you're almost there.
