This is ``docutils.parsers.rst`` package. It exports a single class, `Parser`,
the reStructuredText parser.
Usage
=====
1. Create a parser::
parser = docutils.parsers.rst.Parser()
Several optional arguments may be passed to modify the parser's behavior.
Please see `Customizing the Parser`_ below for details.
2. Gather input (a multi-line string), by reading a file or the standard
input::
input = sys.stdin.read()
3. Create a new empty `docutils.nodes.document` tree::
document = docutils.utils.new_document(source, settings)
See `docutils.utils.new_document()` for parameter details.
4. Run the parser, populating the document tree::
parser.parse(input, document)
Parser Overview
===============
The reStructuredText parser is implemented as a state machine, examining its
input one line at a time. To understand how the parser works, please first
become familiar with the `docutils.statemachine` module, then see the
`states` module.
Customizing the Parser
----------------------
Anything that isn't already customizable is that way simply because that type
of customizability hasn't been implemented yet. Patches welcome!
When instantiating an object of the `Parser` class, two parameters may be
passed: ``rfc2822`` and ``inliner``. Pass ``rfc2822=True`` to enable an
initial RFC-2822 style header block, parsed as a "field_list" element (with
"class" attribute set to "rfc2822"). Currently this is the only body-level
element which is customizable without subclassing. (Tip: subclass `Parser`
and change its "state_classes" and "initial_state" attributes to refer to new
classes. Contact the author if you need more details.)
The ``inliner`` parameter takes an instance of `states.Inliner` or a subclass.
It handles inline markup recognition. A common extension is the addition of
further implicit hyperlinks, like "RFC 2822". This can be done by subclassing
`states.Inliner`, adding a new method for the implicit markup, and adding a
``(pattern, method)`` pair to the "implicit_dispatch" attribute of the
subclass. See `states.Inliner.implicit_inline()` for details. Explicit
inline markup can be customized in a `states.Inliner` subclass via the
``patterns.initial`` and ``dispatch`` attributes (and new methods as
appropriate).

"""
Base class for reStructuredText directives.
The following attributes may be set by subclasses. They are
interpreted by the directive parser (which runs the directive
class):
- `required_arguments`: The number of required arguments (default:
0).
- `optional_arguments`: The number of optional arguments (default:
0).
- `final_argument_whitespace`: A boolean, indicating if the final
argument may contain whitespace (default: False).
- `option_spec`: A dictionary, mapping known option names to
conversion functions such as `int` or `float` (default: {}, no
options). Several conversion functions are defined in the
directives/__init__.py module.
Option conversion functions take a single parameter, the option
argument (a string or ``None``), validate it and/or convert it
to the appropriate form. Conversion functions may raise
`ValueError` and `TypeError` exceptions.
- `has_content`: A boolean; True if content is allowed. Client
code must handle the case where content is required but not
supplied (an empty content list will be supplied).
Arguments are normally single whitespace-separated words. The
final argument may contain whitespace and/or newlines if
`final_argument_whitespace` is True.
If the form of the arguments is more complex, specify only one
argument (either required or optional) and set
`final_argument_whitespace` to True; the client code must do any
context-sensitive parsing.
When a directive implementation is being run, the directive class
is instantiated, and the `run()` method is executed. During
instantiation, the following instance variables are set:
- ``name`` is the directive type or name (string).
- ``arguments`` is the list of positional arguments (strings).
- ``options`` is a dictionary mapping option names (strings) to
values (type depends on option conversion functions; see
`option_spec` above).
- ``content`` is a list of strings, the directive content line by line.
- ``lineno`` is the absolute line number of the first line
of the directive.
- ``content_offset`` is the line offset of the first line of the content from
the beginning of the current input. Used when initiating a nested parse.
- ``block_text`` is a string containing the entire directive.
- ``state`` is the state which called the directive function.
- ``state_machine`` is the state machine which controls the state which called
the directive function.
Directive functions return a list of nodes which will be inserted
into the document tree at the point where the directive was
encountered. This can be an empty list if there is nothing to
insert.
For ordinary directives, the list must contain body elements or
structural elements. Some directives are intended specifically
for substitution definitions, and must return a list of `Text`
nodes and/or inline elements (suitable for inline insertion, in
place of the substitution reference). Such directives must verify
substitution definition context, typically using code like this::
if not isinstance(state, states.SubstitutionDef):
error = state_machine.reporter.error(
'Invalid context: the "%s" directive can only be used '
'within a substitution definition.' % (name),
nodes.literal_block(block_text, block_text), line=lineno)
return [error]
