Hmm... the whole idea is that different formats are created automatically on the PG server, so that you don't have to.
Not exactly. The idea of the investigation is to find out under what conditions we can have conversion from a master format without human intervention, and get good results. I don't think anyone believes there is a single master format that will work for all situations (at least, with all the caveats and variations we've identified, not least of which is the DP and PG toolset & workflow). More likely, we'll end up with a continuing need for hand-crafted files in various formats, plus a variety of auto-conversions.
I've just taken a quick look on the discussion thread at DP to see if Marcello provided links to the software he is using, but I would not find any.
The current auto-converter software is out there somewhere, but I don't have the URL in front of me. I'm sure there will be new software at DP, for the WWers, and at gutenberg.org, assuming things keep moving forward as they have been. -- Greg
I have the impression that the implementation being used for PG is not finalized yet, and is still a work in progress.
But you might find some useful information here: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html
It looks like you may need to install Python to use it.

Al, sorry I didn't explain that well. I can open the rst files, and read them with all the markup, but I don't know what to use to convert them into something usable like html or mobi. Someone point me to a webpage that explains this. I'd like to learn more about it.
