Inherited from Reader:

Method __init__ Initialize the Reader instance.
Method new​_document Create and return a new empty document tree (root node).
Method parse Parse self.input into a document tree.
Method read Undocumented
Method set​_parser Set self.parser by name.
Class Variable component​_type Name of the component type ('reader', 'parser', 'writer'). Override in subclasses.
Instance Variable input Raw text input; either a single string or, for more complex cases, a collection of strings.
Instance Variable parser A parsers.Parser instance shared by all doctrees. May be left unspecified if the document source determines the parser.

Inherited from SettingsSpec (via Reader, Component):

Class Variable relative​_path​_settings Settings containing filesystem paths. Override in subclasses. Settings listed here are to be interpreted relative to the current working directory.
Class Variable settings​_default​_overrides A dictionary of auxiliary defaults, to override defaults for settings defined in other components. Override in subclasses.
Class Variable 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.

def get_transforms(self):
overrides docutils.readers.Reader.get_transforms
overridden in docutils.readers.pep.Reader, docutils.writers.odf_odt.Reader
Transforms required by this class. Override in subclasses.
config_section: str =
overrides docutils.readers.Reader.config_section
overridden in docutils.readers.pep.Reader
The name of the config file section specific to this component (lowercase, no brackets). Override in subclasses.
config_section_dependencies: tuple[str, ...] =
overrides docutils.SettingsSpec.config_section_dependencies
overridden in docutils.readers.pep.Reader
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.
document =
overrides docutils.readers.Reader.document
A single document tree.
settings_spec =
overrides docutils.SettingsSpec.settings_spec
overridden in docutils.readers.pep.Reader

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.
