You don't need to use substitutions or entities for accented
characters.  Just tell Docutils the encoding of the input file (and
the desired encoding of the output; default UTF-8).  Use the
"--input-encoding" command-line option, or set it up permanently in a
configuration file.  See <http://docutils.sf.net/docs/tools.html> for
details.
