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 | 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 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 |

Inherited from Writer
:
Method | get |
Transforms required by this class. Override in subclasses. |
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 | settings |
A dictionary of auxiliary defaults, to override defaults for settings defined in other components. Override in subclasses. |

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. Extend 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
The name of the config file section specific to this component (lowercase, no brackets). Override in subclasses.
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.
Settings containing filesystem paths. Override in subclasses. Settings listed here are to be interpreted relative to the current working directory.
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
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.
