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.
