    Docutils-develop mailing list
    <http://docutils.sf.net/docs/user/mailing-lists.html#docutils-develop>.

    Parameters:

    * `source_class` **required**: The class for dynamically created source
      objects.  Typically `io.FileInput` or `io.StringInput`.

    * `source`: Type depends on `source_class`:

      - If `source_class` is `io.FileInput`: Either a file-like object
        (must have 'read' and 'close' methods), or ``None``
        (`source_path` is opened).  If neither `source` nor
        `source_path` are supplied, `sys.stdin` is used.

      - If `source_class` is `io.StringInput` **required**: The input
        string, either an encoded 8-bit string (set the
        'input_encoding' setting to the correct encoding) or a Unicode
        string (set the 'input_encoding' setting to 'unicode').

    * `source_path`: Type depends on `source_class`:

      - `io.FileInput`: Path to the input file, opened if no `source`
        supplied.

      - `io.StringInput`: Optional.  Path to the file or object that produced
        `source`.  Only used for diagnostic output.

    * `destination_class` **required**: The class for dynamically created
      destination objects.  Typically `io.FileOutput` or `io.StringOutput`.

    * `destination`: Type depends on `destination_class`:

      - `io.FileOutput`: Either a file-like object (must have 'write' and
        'close' methods), or ``None`` (`destination_path` is opened).  If
        neither `destination` nor `destination_path` are supplied,
        `sys.stdout` is used.

      - `io.StringOutput`: Not used; pass ``None``.

    * `destination_path`: Type depends on `destination_class`:

      - `io.FileOutput`: Path to the output file.  Opened if no `destination`
        supplied.

      - `io.StringOutput`: Path to the file or object which will receive the
        output; optional.  Used for determining relative paths (stylesheets,
        source links, etc.).

    * `reader`: A `docutils.readers.Reader` object.

    * `reader_name`: Name or alias of the Reader class to be instantiated if
      no `reader` supplied.

    * `parser`: A `docutils.parsers.Parser` object.

    * `parser_name`: Name or alias of the Parser class to be instantiated if
      no `parser` supplied.

    * `writer`: A `docutils.writers.Writer` object.

    * `writer_name`: Name or alias of the Writer class to be instantiated if
      no `writer` supplied.

    * `settings`: A runtime settings (`docutils.frontend.Values`) object, for
      dotted-attribute access to runtime settings.  It's the end result of the
      `SettingsSpec`, config file, and option processing.  If `settings` is
      passed, it's assumed to be complete and no further setting/config/option
      processing is done.

    * `settings_spec`: A `docutils.SettingsSpec` subclass or object.  Provides
      extra application-specific settings definitions independently of
      components.  In other words, the application becomes a component, and
      its settings data is processed along with that of the other components.
      Used only if no `settings` specified.

    * `settings_overrides`: A dictionary containing application-specific
      settings defaults that override the defaults of other components.
      Used only if no `settings` specified.

    * `config_section`: A string, the name of the configuration file section
      for this application.  Overrides the ``config_section`` attribute
      defined by `settings_spec`.  Used only if no `settings` specified.

    * `enable_exit_status`: Boolean; enable exit status at end of processing?
