I think the simplest way would be to allow the definition of some kind
of post-processing filter that escapes LaTeX metacharacters with their
appropriate substitutions. It can be as easy as a ddoc macro (or list of
macros) that translates a given character into its LaTeX equivalent,
with the default of no-op. So to adapt ddoc output to a particular
format, you just have to override that particular set of metacharacters,
and leave everything else as pass-through.

Curious ears want to hear what that something is. :-)
