Thanks!  It was just what I was looking for.

(Some of my project's 'structured text' files really are just
fragments, like a bullet list.  The lack of a 'title' was a
problem for the astext method, so I added a default empty title
to HTTranslator's initializer... but perhaps using the original
filename as a default title would be a more general solution.)

I'm also new to ht2html and am having trouble getting relative
links the way I want them.  But ht2html combined with docutils
and your .ht writer look good for automating site builds from
some existing structured text files.
