[ALUG] apache/CGI sort of ish question

[Chris G]

I'm fishing around for knowledge and ideas about things that I'm not
very knowledgeable about here so be gentle!  :-)

I'm looking for a simple direct way of dynamically converting
reStructured text to HTML.  I.e. I want to create text files in rst
format (so they're reasonably readable "as is") and point my web
browser at them and see them in HTML.

I can already do this using pyBlosxom and one of its plugins but it's
a rather roundabout way of achieving something simple and all the blog
type extras are a nuisance.

The pyBlosxom plugin uses Docutils' /usr/bin/rst2html to translate the
reStructured Text to HTML, what I'm looking for is some way to tell
apache that when it sees a file xxxxx.rst it should run it through
/usr/bin/rst2html and display the resulting HTML.

Is there a standard apache way of doing things like this?  Or am I
talking CGI?  Or what?
