I'd like to insert a custom node into a doctree and save these changes to file.
I'm reading the following RST file...
Hello World!
############
:date: 2010-10-03 10:20

This is a test.
like this:
doctree = docutils.core.publish_doctree(open('test.rst').read())
I'd now like to insert a new node :id: 234123 to the docinfo and save it as test.rst. But how?
There is no reStructuredText writer.
See the answer here: Is there a reST Writer?
if it's a trivial change you're better off writing a simple function that reads the file as lines of text, which it writes out to a new text file, inserting the new line at some point during parsing/writing.
