Yes. I did some browsing, and that's exactly what it does. I've stayed
away from LaTeX for many years. I think my last brush was installing Tom
Rokicki's version on my Amiga!. A bit too "heavyweight" for me, I guess.
Might be worth playing again.
There is also compile-time option to use rst2pdf instead of LaTeX, whichI found that too this afternoon. Unfortunately my attempt to install it
uses the open source version of ReportLab to generate PDF files directly.

-- unlike with DocUtils -- was not at all smooth (:-() First of all, although
the docs didn't mention it, setup.py immediately wanted setuputils.
Fortunately that is on HaikuDepot, but -- again unmentioned -- running
setup.py spent ages dowloading other packages, and finally failed
becaus it "couldn't find" zlib and freetype! I guess some configuration
in missing, but at the moment I'm not motivated to track it down.
