For the web2py spanish documentation wiki (btw using web2py-wiki) we are working in several features, including wyswyg editing and pdf output, to organize and translate some kind of manual (and other minor updates to make the wiki more user friendly).
To convert html to reST, using html2rst.py seems to work (but some minor fixes are needed with preformated blocks). And, here in Argentina, rst2pdf was used to make the pdf from the translated official python tutorial (who is in reST): - http://docs.python.org.ar/tutorial/contenido.html - http://python.org.ar/pyar/Tutorial?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=TutorialPython.pdf Indeed, the spanish python tutorial was finally printed (in paper with a soft cover) as a nice and cheap book. IMHO, a user-friendly wiki is a good way to do this work, and fixing web2py-wiki is a must.
