StructuredText -> HTML module??

I need to take a piece of structured text as a string into a method and get
html out in the other end. As described on the page on Zope.org under
StructuredText. My hacking with PyWiki gave me a list where each element had
a '<pre>' in front of it etc. I might be using it the wrong way, but ....

I was under the impression that StructuredText as described on the site
mentioned earlier was sort of a standard, that the parser etc. would produce
the same output.

All I'm actually after is to be able to write stuff like :

**Header**

List:
1. Foo
2. Bar
3. Python

    Heres an indented section of text.

And turn this into

<h1>Header</h1>

List:
<ol>
   <li>foo</li>
  <li>bar</li>
  <li>Python</li>
</ol>

<P>
<blockquote>
    Heres an indented section of text.
<blockquote>
</P>

Or something similar. Since there's allready something that I believed was
standardized it would be easier to use modules allready available than doing
it all from scratch.

Hope that makes it clearer.

Best regards,
Thomas
