[Docstring-develop] pydps - the starts of HTML output

[Tony J I. (Tibs) <to...@ls...>]

[Neal, Jeremy - do you still want me to CC you, or shall I drop back to
just the docstring-develops list? I'll take no answer as meaning make no
change...]

Had fun this weekend getting the quick-and-dirty HTML output started. In
the end, I've stopped faffing around with DOM trees (all say "yeah!")
and am using the dps/nodes.py tree (DPS nodes tree?) directly - it's
pleasantly simple to use.

As always, latest version is at:

    	http://www.tibsnjoan.co.uk/reST/pydps.tgz

As you might expect (!) the colours are garish - this is my oh-so-subtle
way of indicating that this is a PROTOTYPE.

Still to do:

* add some more functions to the html.py, so it can cope
  with more stuff

* expand nodes.py to transfer more of my initial data
  into the DPS nodes tree.

* expand visit.py to work properly (!) - various things
  need doing - see the file.

* deal with cross-references.

* add more documentation in various places.

* extract the command line stuff to its own file, make
  the directory a proper package, etc., etc.

* integrate as a basic DPS Formatter, plus extra subclass
  to handle the Python stuff.

As you can see, there's still plenty of fun in store (I estimate at
least another two major refactorings, for a start).

For what its worth, I'm finding the DPS (and also the compiler package)
good fun to play with - it's nice to leave someone else to handle the
parsing!
