Method __init__ Undocumented
Method get_transforms Transforms required by this class. Override in subclasses.
Method parse Parse `inputstring` and populate `document`, a document tree.
Class Variable config_section The name of the config file section specific to this component (lowercase, no brackets). Override in subclasses.
Class Variable config_section_dependencies 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...

Inherited from Parser:

Method finish_parse Finalize parse details. Call at end of `self.parse()`.
Method setup_parse Initial parse setup. Call at start of `self.parse()`.
Class Variable component_type Name of the component type ('reader', 'parser', 'writer'). Override in subclasses.
Instance Variable document Undocumented
Instance Variable inputstring Undocumented

Inherited from Component (via Parser):

Method supports Is `format` supported by this component?

Inherited from SettingsSpec (via Parser, Component):

Class Variable relative_path_settings Settings containing filesystem paths. Override in subclasses. Settings listed here are to be interpreted relative to the current working directory.
Class Variable settings_default_overrides A dictionary of auxiliary defaults, to override defaults for settings defined in other components' `setting_specs`. Override in subclasses.
Class Variable 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.

Inherited from TransformSpec (via Parser, Component):

Class Variable default_transforms Undocumented
Class Variable unknown_reference_resolvers List of functions to try to resolve unknown references. Unknown references have a 'refname' attribute which doesn't correspond to any target in the document. Called when the transforms in `docutils.transforms...

def get_transforms(self): (source)

Transforms required by this class. Override in subclasses.

def parse(self, inputstring, document): (source)

Parse `inputstring` and populate `document`, a document tree.

config_section: str = (source)

The name of the config file section specific to this component (lowercase, no brackets). Override in subclasses.

config_section_dependencies: tuple[str, ...] = (source)

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_spec = (source)

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.
