Re: [Docutils-develop] [PATCH] Optionally disable docinfo section

[In private correspondence, I asked Adam to describe the process he's
using to generate his website pages, each a collection of
subdocuments.]

This is important for the following reasons:

- If you're using Docutils to process multiple source text documents,
  then you combine the resulting HTML, you must be stripping off the
  <html>, <head>, etc. parts.  So it should be easy to also remove the
  <table class="docinfo"> too, and a "--no-docinfo" option isn't
  necessary.

- If you're combining multiple text sources first and then using
  Docutils to process that all at once, there's a different issue.
  Only the first subdocument's bibliographic field list will be
  interpreted as "docinfo", so the others will have to be removed
  somehow (they're just ordinary field_list elements now), and a
  "--no-docinfo" option wouldn't work.

Either way, it looks like you'll need a custom solution, probably a
"Reader" that understands the context of your site (the process behind
it), and definitely a custom front end.
