I've written a simple HTML writer, but I'm now working on other
components.  No definite plans for additional writers yet.

If you're volunteering to write one or both and are asking for help,
great!  I'll be happy to answer any questions you have.  As Richard
said, please take a look at the HTML writer for a start.

If you're asking when LaTeX and RTF writers will be ready, I couldn't
say.  I don't know of anyone working on them yet.  They're not a
priority on my list.  If they're important to you, please consider
writing one and contributing it back to the project!

The docutils.writers.html4css1 module should support all elements;
that's one if its goals.  If it doesn't, that's a bug.
