[Docutils-develop] Writer for .ht (HTML Template?) files

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

Hi David,

I've written a Writer for .ht (HTML Template?) files used by ht2html_.

.. _ht2html: http://ht2html.sourceforge.net/

Basically it writes the body of an HTML page with some optional RFC-2822
headers at the top. The writer, as you can see, is a very thin wrapper of
html4css1.

As this is kind of a specialized writer, I didn't know whether you or anyone
would have any interest in it for Docutils, so I figured I'd check and see.
If you don't want it for Docutils proper, I can just plunk it into the
sandbox.

On an unrelated note, what do you think of adding the front end scripts in
"tools" as scripts in docutils setup.py file?  That way when someone
installed docutils they had scripts to do conversions ready to go. However,
if they were installed by default, it might be more intuitive if they were
named something like rest2html, rest2xml, etc... I've done that with the
attached front end script, so I didn't have 2 files with the same name
attached.

Lastly, I'm hoping the get the DocBook writer a little more polished before
long. I got caught up with a move, new job, etc... and haven't gotten around
to getting the last few bits going and remaining kinks worked out.

Regards,
-Ollie
