Pat,

Thanks; I'll take a look.  I use asciidoc, which seems similar to
reStructuredText.  (I'd use asciidoc, but I'd have to learn enough CSS
or XSL to make DocBook create the one-page output I want.)

It sounds as if reStructuredText doesn't handle the generation of a
graph or the connection to a database, but I should be able to produce
the reStructuredText source from a language I do use.
