[Docutils-develop] DocBook writer in sandbox

[Ollie R. <ol...@ru...>]

Hi,

I just checked in an initial version of a DocBook writer for
docutils into the sandbox (in "oliverr").

It still needs some work as well as general polish and testing,
but I've been able to use it to generate html documents that
were fairly similar to what's generated by the docutils html writer.

I was generating html because I've not used docbook much, and it
was easier to figure out how to generate html than pdf. To get html
I generated DocBook output then used xsltproc and docbook-xslstylesheets
to generate the html output.

The main missing pieces are footnotes, citations, and all bibliography
elements. Some footnode elements are generated, but don't work
at all. Aside from that, most pieces should be in place -- whether
they work correctly is another issue ;-).

If anybody plays around with it, I'd appreciate any feedback or
suggestions.

Thanks to David for all his help and patience in answering all
of my reST and DocBook questions.
