[Vimoutliner] otl to headline numbering conversion program?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I've just contributed a program to the NoSQL project, and now need to document 
it. I'll author the doc as an outline with lots of body text. What I'd like 
to do is have a program convert something like this:

Updmerge documentation
	Philosophy
		: A horse is a horse of course of course
		: but noone can talk to a horse of course
		The Need for Speed
			: Users get nervous if an update
			: takes more than 1/2 second,  so
			: updates must be fast.

INTO THIS:

1: Updmerge documentation ********

1.1: Philosophy ******
A horse is a horse of course of course but noone can talk 
to a horse of course

1.1.1: The Need for Speed  ****
Users get nervous if an update takes more than 1/2 second,
so updates must be fast.

Has anyone written anything like that yet? If so, please let me know. I'm 
gonna write the docs now, and when I'm finished, if nobody's written this 
program already, I'll write it using Node.rb.

Thanks

SteveT
