[Python-modules-team] Bug#611233: rst2xml can not create valid DocBook XML-code for Publican

[Juhapekka Tolvanen]

Package: python-docutils
Version: 0.7-2
Severity: important

Please check out files in this WWW-directory:

http://iki.fi/juhtolv/tmp/bugreports/python-docutils/01/harjoitukset/

When I run that script called compileall.sh almost everything works
like a charm. Even Tidy thinks XML-code that rst2xml created is valid.
But when Publican tries to validate (let alone convert) that XML-code,
it gives umpteen gazillion errors. They all can be seen in that file
publican_errors.txt .

Publican is in a Debian-package called publican.

Would you please do something, that makes it possible to convert
RST-code to XML suitable for Publican? And please document it well.
