I'm the one who implemented and maintains the odf-odt writer for Docutils. I had a request to add support to Sphinx so that it can generate documentation in ODF .odt documents. That sounds like a good idea to me. I'm willing to do some work to make it happen.
So far, I've done the following: 1. Added options specific to the odf-odt writer in the QUICKSTART_CONF string in quickstart.py. 2. Created sphinx/builders/odf_odt.py 3. Created sphinx/writers/odf_odt.py -- Subclassed the Writer and Translator classes in docutils/writers/odf_odt/__init__.py. 4. Added new clauses etc to the MAKEFILE string in quickstart.py. 5. Registered the builder in sphinx/builders/__init__.py Am I on the right track? Now, I need to learn how to implement a builder. And, I have questions: 1. What other/additional files do I need to change? 2. Does anyone have any guidance? I've read the "Writing new builders" page in the Sphinx docs, but it's not particularly helpful to someone like me who does not understand Sphinx internals. Is there a list of "essentially things any Sphinx builder must do"? 3. I'm trying to reverse engineer, so to speak, what is implemented in builders/html.py and builders/latex.py. Are there any other places I can look for help, info, and guidance? Thanks for any help. - Dave -- Dave Kuhlman http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-dev" group.
