In response to my colleague's question (since he still doesn't enable comments on his posts and his forum requires registration and I don't want to sign up
): (re) Structured-Text is used with Python DocUtils. This is also used in the Python Desktop Server so that I don't have to write content in HTML. The Python Desktop Server also includes a module StructuredText.py that can be used for standalone deployment - it does have minimal dependencies on the Python Desktop Server, but these are automatically disabled when used standalone (it's mainly about enrichment and automatic linking to content from the weblog tool - so it could also be used in other projects). In general, I can only recommend (re) StructuredText, it's very convenient - in my opinion the most advanced text-to-HTML converter currently available for Python. There is a released version 0.2 and a CVS version 0.3 - the Python Desktop Server is based on the 0.2 version, so when trying out the module, make sure to use the correct version!
For the Python Desktop Server, on the other hand, the CVS version of the StructuredText.py module should be used because it contains massive changes from Garth T. Kidd that significantly expand the functionality - the previous release version of the Python Desktop Server still has an HTML converter I built myself with reduced functionality.
