> Does Sphinx support output to docbook? 

Not natively, but it should be possible to write a converter: https://github.com/HolgerPeters/sphinxcontrib-docbook

I think the basic process is to run sphinx with the XML builder and then transform that XML to docbook XML.

My question would be: why do this?

Is this for PDF support?

It looks like there is a builder that can be used to produce PDF output: https://github.com/brechtm/rinohtype

However, it requires Python3.3+

 

How important is PDF support? Just curious as I typically only use HTML for documentation.

 

> Does Sphinx support *configurable* HTML output? I.e. can I use my own HTML templates directly to change the output structure and style?

Yes. You can create your own theme and use that: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/theming.html

Some existing sphinx themes: http://www.writethedocs.org/guide/tools/sphinx-themes/
