Currently indents are calculated as we go, and the entire output is returned as a single string.

It makes sense to separate this into a couple distinct phases:

Convert parsed RST AST into a HTML Tag tree
Apply CSS to HTML Tag tree (or any other modifications)
Convert HTML Tag tree to a single string of output, with configurable indents amount

Expose access to renderer at all phases. Allow consumers of library to, for example, get a iterable tree of output tags, instead of a string.

Each node should include a copy of the parser's AST node it was generated from, as a reference.
