[Vimoutliner] vorst

[David J Patrick]

In my ongoing quest to use vimoutliner for EVERYTHING I have been working
hard at getting (for starters) a really good, LaTeX book output. At my
urging, a rather brilliant friend has hacked together a perl script
(otl2latex; to be shared once stable) that does quite a reasonable job. 
In researching that, we stumble upon Vim reStructured Text
(http://skawina.eu.org/mikolaj/vst.html#l9696toc9696) that looks like it
should offer a fairly wide range reStructured output, to html or latex,
with all the sectiony, formaty goodness. The trouble is, that the
differences between a valid .otl and a valid .vst are considerable, and that
would make it an either/or (vimoutliner/vst) proposition UNLESS some genius
finds a way to fuse the two. It's in python, and (to my feeble mind) I
imagine that it /should/ be possible rewrite the VimReStructuredText plug
in to harmonize with VO format (ignore, or USE leading whitespace as
section definition, drop requirement for blank spaces, and way more)
presuming said python genius/ VO hacker found it an itch worth scratching.   

It would mean (to selfish ol' me) that I could slam things together in VO
and blatt out rich and finely formatted web pages and hardcopy. 

Not expecting anything, but I just wanted to put these bugs in your ears.

thanks for humouring the idea,
