0. Notes
- For more info contact Jaroslaw Staniek, js at iidea.pl (project maintainer)
- Original html content is strored temporary in html.tmp/ subdirectory.
- For now let's LEAVE <img> and <a href..> tags untouched - enclose them with 
  <!-- --> comments. We will prepare english screenshots later; for now only polish version exists.
  Do not remove any existing <!-- --> comments.
- Development version of this handbook generated out of the docbook sources:
  http://docs.kde.org/development/en/koffice/kexi/index.html
- For steps (e.g. in tutorial) rather use <procedure> tag instead of <itemizedlist>.
  <title> subtag is available as well for <procedure>. Details:
