[Docutils-users] HTML to reStructuredText

[Aleksandr S. <al...@go...>]

Hello!

I have a script that converts XHTML files produced by Sphinx epub 
builder back to reStructuredText.  If anyone is interested, I can 
publish the source.

The problem I had to solve is this: we have some documents in rST, and 
we've got to make a translation.  Unfortunately, CAT (Computer-assisted 
translation) tools do not play well with plain text files.  So I gave 
XHTML files to my translators, and I got back HTML files with most of 
the markup preserved.

The script parses an (X)HTML input to build a Docutils AST, and then 
runs a NodeVisitor to build rST text.  The script does not cover all of 
the Docutils nodes, but it works for me.

Best wishes,
alex.
