Thanks, I will do that.

 

I used to be a heavy user of VST, but I switched over to the real reStructuredText (http://docutils.sourceforge.net/) a few years ago. VST is essentially a hack. A clever hack, but fragile and unmaintained.

I've successfully used docutils and the Sphinx wrapper (http://sphinx.pocoo.org/) on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Sphinx is under active development. If all you're trying to do is generate good looking printed output, you don't even need to convert to LaTeX: rst2pdf (http://code.google.com/p/rst2pdf/) will convert straight from reST to PDF.
