# $Id$ # Author: David Goodger # Copyright: This module has been placed in the public domain. """ This is the Docutils (Python Documentation Utilities) package. Package Structure ================= Modules: - __init__.py: Contains component base classes, exception classes, and Docutils version information. - core.py: Contains the ``Publisher`` class and ``publish_*()`` convenience functions. - frontend.py: Runtime settings (command-line interface, configuration files) processing, for Docutils front-ends. - io.py: Provides a uniform API for low-level input and output. - nodes.py: Docutils document tree (doctree) node class library. - statemachine.py: A finite state machine specialized for regular-expression-based text filters. Subpackages: - languages: Language-specific mappings of terms. - parsers: Syntax-specific input parser modules or packages. - readers: Context-specific input handlers which understand the data source and manage a parser. - transforms: Modules used by readers and writers to modify DPS doctrees. - utils: Contains the ``Reporter`` system warning class and miscellaneous utilities used by readers, writers, and transforms. utils/urischemes.py: Contains a complete mapping of known URI addressing scheme names to descriptions. - utils/math: Contains functions for conversion of mathematical notation between different formats (LaTeX, MathML, text, ...). - writers: Format-specific output translators.

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.
