docutils.statemachine.StateWS

class documentation

class StateWS(State):

Known subclasses: docutils.parsers.rst.states.RSTState

State superclass specialized for whitespace (blank lines & indents).

Use this class with StateMachineWS. The transitions 'blank' (for blank lines) and 'indent' (for indented text blocks) are added automatically, before any other transitions. The transition method blank() handles blank lines and indent() handles nested indented blocks. Indented blocks trigger a new state machine to be created by indent() and run. The class of the state machine to be created is in indent_sm, and the constructor keyword arguments are in the dictionary indent_sm_kwargs.

The methods known_indent() and firstknown_indent() are provided for indented blocks where the indent (all lines' and first line's only, respectively) is known to the transition method, along with the attributes known_indent_sm and known_indent_sm_kwargs. Neither transition method is triggered automatically.

Method	`__init__`	Initialize a `StateSM` object; extends `State.__init__()`.
Method	`add_initial_transitions`	Add whitespace-specific transitions before those defined in subclass.
Method	`blank`	Handle blank lines. Does nothing. Override in subclasses.
Method	`first_known_indent`	Handle an indented text block (first line's indent known).
Method	`indent`	Handle an indented text block. Extend or override in subclasses.
Method	`known_indent`	Handle a known-indent text block. Extend or override in subclasses.
Class Variable	`ws_initial_transitions`	Default initial whitespace transitions, added before those listed in `State.initial_transitions`. May be overridden in subclasses.
Class Variable	`ws_patterns`	Patterns for default whitespace transitions. May be overridden in subclasses.
Instance Variable	`indent_sm`	The `StateMachine` class handling indented text blocks.
Instance Variable	`indent_sm_kwargs`	Keyword arguments dictionary, passed to the `indent_sm` constructor.
Instance Variable	`known_indent_sm`	The `StateMachine` class handling known-indented text blocks.
Instance Variable	`known_indent_sm_kwargs`	Keyword arguments dictionary, passed to the `known_indent_sm` constructor.
Instance Variable	`patterns`	{Name: pattern} mapping, used by `make_transition()`. Each pattern may be a string or a compiled `re` pattern. Override in subclasses.

Inherited from State:

Method	`add_transition`	Add a transition to the start of the transition list.
Method	`add_transitions`	Add a list of transitions to the start of the transition list.
Method	`bof`	Handle beginning-of-file. Return unchanged `context`, empty result.
Method	`eof`	Handle end-of-file. Return empty result.
Method	`make_transition`	Make & return a transition tuple based on `name`.
Method	`make_transitions`	Return a list of transition names and a transition mapping.
Method	`no_match`	Called when there is no match from `StateMachine.check_line()`.
Method	`nop`	A "do nothing" transition method.
Method	`remove_transition`	Remove a transition by `name`.
Method	`runtime_init`	Initialize this `State` before running the state machine; called from `self.state_machine.run()`.
Method	`unlink`	Remove circular references to objects no longer required.
Class Variable	`initial_transitions`	A list of transitions to initialize when a `State` is instantiated. Each entry is either a transition name string, or a (transition name, next state name) pair. See `make_transitions()`. Override in subclasses.
Instance Variable	`debug`	Debugging mode on/off.
Instance Variable	`nested_sm`	The `StateMachine` class for handling nested processing.
Instance Variable	`nested_sm_kwargs`	Keyword arguments dictionary, passed to the `nested_sm` constructor.
Instance Variable	`state_machine`	A reference to the controlling `StateMachine` object.
Instance Variable	`transition_order`	A list of transition names in search order.
Instance Variable	`transitions`	No summary

def __init__(self, state_machine, debug=False):

overrides docutils.statemachine.State.__init__

overridden in docutils.parsers.rst.states.RSTState

Initialize a StateSM object; extends State.__init__().

Check for indent state machine attributes, set defaults if not set.

def add_initial_transitions(self):

overrides docutils.statemachine.State.add_initial_transitions

Add whitespace-specific transitions before those defined in subclass.

Extends State.add_initial_transitions().

def blank(self, match, context, next_state):

overridden in docutils.parsers.rst.states.QuotedLiteralBlock, docutils.parsers.rst.states.Text

Handle blank lines. Does nothing. Override in subclasses.

def first_known_indent(self, match, context, next_state):

Handle an indented text block (first line's indent known).

Extend or override in subclasses.

Recursively run the registered state machine for known-indent indented blocks (self.known_indent_sm). The indent is the length of the match, match.end().

def indent(self, match, context, next_state):

overridden in docutils.parsers.rst.states.Body, docutils.parsers.rst.states.QuotedLiteralBlock, docutils.parsers.rst.states.Text

Handle an indented text block. Extend or override in subclasses.

Recursively run the registered state machine for indented blocks (self.indent_sm).

def known_indent(self, match, context, next_state):

Handle a known-indent text block. Extend or override in subclasses.

Recursively run the registered state machine for known-indent indented blocks (self.known_indent_sm). The indent is the length of the match, match.end().

ws_initial_transitions: tuple[str, ...] =

Default initial whitespace transitions, added before those listed in State.initial_transitions. May be overridden in subclasses.

ws_patterns =

Patterns for default whitespace transitions. May be overridden in subclasses.

indent_sm =

The StateMachine class handling indented text blocks.

If left as None, indent_sm defaults to the value of State.nested_sm. Override it in subclasses to avoid the default.

indent_sm_kwargs =

Keyword arguments dictionary, passed to the indent_sm constructor.

If left as None, indent_sm_kwargs defaults to the value of State.nested_sm_kwargs. Override it in subclasses to avoid the default.

known_indent_sm =

The StateMachine class handling known-indented text blocks.

If left as None, known_indent_sm defaults to the value of indent_sm. Override it in subclasses to avoid the default.

known_indent_sm_kwargs =

Keyword arguments dictionary, passed to the known_indent_sm constructor.

If left as None, known_indent_sm_kwargs defaults to the value of indent_sm_kwargs. Override it in subclasses to avoid the default.
