Inherited from Writer:

Method __init__ Undocumented
Method write Process a document into its final form.
Class Variable component​_type 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.

def assemble_parts(self):

def translate(self):

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.

config_section: str =
overrides docutils.writers.Writer.config_section
overridden in docutils.writers.html4css1.Writer, docutils.writers.html5_polyglot.Writer
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.writers.html4css1.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.
settings_defaults: dict[str, str] =
overrides 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.
settings_spec =
overrides docutils.SettingsSpec.settings_spec
overridden in docutils.writers.html4css1.Writer, docutils.writers.html5_polyglot.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.
