Method | __init__ |
Undocumented |
Method | assemble |
Assemble the self.parts dictionary of output fragments. |
Method | get |
Transforms required by this class. Override in subclasses. |
Method | translate |
Do final translation of self.document into self.output . Called from write . Override in subclasses. |
Class Variable | config |
The name of the config file section specific to this component (lowercase, no brackets). Override in subclasses. |
Class Variable | config |
A list of names of config file sections that are to be applied before config_section , in order (from general to specific). In other words, the settings in config_section are to be overlaid on top of the settings from these sections... |

Class Variable | settings |
A dictionary of defaults for settings not in settings_spec (internal settings, intended to be inaccessible by command-line and config file). Override in subclasses. |
Class Variable | settings |
Runtime settings specification. Override in subclasses. |
Class Variable | supported |
Formats this writer supports. |

Instance Variable | output |
Final translated form of document . |

Undocumented |
Inherited from Writer
:
Method | write |
Process a document into its final form. |
Class Variable | component |
Name of the component type ('reader', 'parser', 'writer'). Override in subclasses. |
Instance Variable | destination |
docutils.io Output object; where to write the document. Set by write . |
Instance Variable | document |
The document to write (Docutils doctree); set by write . |
Instance Variable | language |
Language module for the document; set by write . |
Instance Variable | parts |
Mapping of document part names to fragments of self.output . Values are Unicode strings; encoding is up to the client. The 'whole' key should contain the entire document output. |
Inherited from Component
(via Writer
):
Method | supports |
Is format supported by this component? |
Inherited from SettingsSpec
(via Writer
, Component
):
Class Variable | relative |
Settings containing filesystem paths. Override in subclasses. Settings listed here are to be interpreted relative to the current working directory. |
Class Variable | settings |
A dictionary of auxiliary defaults, to override defaults for settings defined in other components. Override in subclasses. |
Inherited from TransformSpec

Class Variable | default |
Undocumented |
Class Variable | unknown |
List of functions to try to resolve unknown references. Unknown references have a 'refname' attribute which doesn't correspond to any target in the document. Called when the transforms in docutils.tranforms.references ... |
docutils.writers.Writer.assemble_parts
Assemble the self.parts
dictionary of output fragments.
docutils.writers.Writer.get_transforms
Transforms required by this class. Override in subclasses.
docutils.writers.Writer.translate
Do final translation of self.document
into self.output
. Called
from write
. Override in subclasses.
Usually done with a docutils.nodes.NodeVisitor
subclass, in
combination with a call to docutils.nodes.Node.walk()
or
docutils.nodes.Node.walkabout()
. The NodeVisitor subclass must
support all standard elements (listed in
docutils.nodes.node_class_names
) and possibly non-standard elements
used by the current Reader as well.
docutils.writers.Writer.config_section
docutils.writers.xetex.Writer
The name of the config file section specific to this component (lowercase, no brackets). Override in subclasses.
docutils.writers.xetex.Writer
A list of names of config file sections that are to be applied before
config_section
, in order (from general to specific). In other words,
the settings in config_section
are to be overlaid on top of the settings
from these sections. The "general" section is assumed implicitly.
Override in subclasses.
docutils.SettingsSpec.settings_defaults
A dictionary of defaults for settings not in settings_spec
(internal
settings, intended to be inaccessible by command-line and config file).
Override in subclasses.
docutils.SettingsSpec.settings_spec
docutils.writers.xetex.Writer
Runtime settings specification. Override in subclasses.
Defines runtime settings and associated command-line options, as used by
docutils.frontend.OptionParser
. This is a tuple of:
Option group title (string or
None
which implies no group, just a list of single options).Description (string or
None
).A sequence of option tuples. Each consists of:
Help text (string)
List of option strings (e.g. ['-Q', '--quux']).
Dictionary of keyword arguments sent to the OptionParser/OptionGroup add_option method.
Runtime setting names are derived implicitly from long option names ('--a-setting' becomes settings.a_setting) or explicitly from the 'dest' keyword argument.
Most settings will also have a 'validator' keyword & function. The validator function validates setting values (from configuration files and command-line option arguments) and converts them to appropriate types. For example, the docutils.frontend.validate_boolean function, required by all boolean settings, converts true values ('1', 'on', 'yes', and 'true') to 1 and false values ('0', 'off', 'no', 'false', and '') to 0. Validators need only be set once per setting. See the
docutils.frontend.validate_*
functions.See the optparse docs for more details.
More triples of group title, description, options, as many times as needed. Thus,
settings_spec
tuples can be simply concatenated.
