mistletoe.base_renderer.BaseRenderer

Base class for renderers.

All renderers should ... * ... define all render functions specified in self.render_map; * ... be a context manager (by inheriting __enter__ and __exit__);

Custom renderers could ... * ... add additional tokens into the parsing process by passing custom

tokens to super().__init__();

• ... add additional render functions by appending to self.render_map;

Usage:

Suppose SomeRenderer inherits BaseRenderer, and fin is the input file. The syntax looks something like this:

>>> from mistletoe import Document
>>> from some_renderer import SomeRenderer
>>> with SomeRenderer() as renderer:
...     rendered = renderer.render(Document(fin))

See mistletoe.html_renderer for an implementation example.

Naming conventions:

• The keys of self.render_map should exactly match the class name of tokens;
• Render function names should be of form: "render_" + the "snake-case" form of token's class name.
