I really like a lot of the features of Sphinx, but I also require the final output to be docx. I've had great luck with .rst -> .odt -> .docx using rst2odt.py (docutils) and LibreOffice. I noticed that Sphinx can generate "Docutils XML". In my mind, I should be able to use that and then go to .odt through the same mechanism as rst2odt.py does. However, I'm not sure how I would go about that. I realize that there is a package sphinxcontrib-docxbuilder, but it uses python-docx internally which has rather limited table support based on my experiments. I am using rst specifically because of the ability to do column/row spanning in a very clean way.
The alternative that I'm currently considering is to use something like jinja2 to do all the stuff I would need Sphinx for and stick stick with rst2odt.py.
