How's your plain HTML?  Lore's pretty simple: It's mostly a small
subset of HTML.  You run the lore document through the lore processor
which comes as part of the Python Twisted Matrix stuff (see the
python-twisted and twisted-doc packages) and it produces either better-
looking HTML or LaTeX output, with a nice table of contents, and a few
other goodies.  There's a lore add-on for having it produce an index.
The whole of lore's function is described in about four printed pages.
See:

But, I have a general question for Doc Team folks: Since we seem
to be changing what we're writing weekly, does it make sense to
start translating in parallel or wait until the dust settles a bit
on the version we're working on?
