[Docutils-develop] Minimal writer?

[Bill B. <bb...@co...>]

Is there a minimal writer example available?

I want to write a minimal HTML writer that can produce non-stylesheet 
documents that are conformant to the O'Reilly devcenter article 
specification.

This seems like a *really* easy writer to create and would make a very 
good example of how to write a minimal, relatively stupid, writer.   I 
just have no freakin' clue how to get the basic writer up and running 
in a fashion to get to this point.  The jump from pseudoxml to 
html2css1 is to large for me to efficiently figure out where I fall in 
between.

Specifically, the requirements are as follows.

---
- comply with XHTML;  <br/> for break, close all tags, lower case, 
etc...

<h2></h2>:  Headline
<h3></h3>:  Subheading
ul, li, ol: for unordered and ordered lists
<p></p>: for all paragraphs

Standard <a..> and <img..> for all hyperlinking and images, 
respectively.

<pre> and <code> are used for examples and code.   CODE should be 50 
characters wide or less.   Images no larger than 450 pixels wide.
---

Obviously, if such a writer were to exist, a bunch of free publicity in 
the form of an O'Reilly article discussing authoring O'Reilly articles 
using DocUtils is a possibility... :-)

thanks,
