======================== Docutils Configuration ======================== :Author: David Goodger :Contact: docutils-develop@lists.sourceforge.net :Revision: $Revision: 7828 $ :Date: $Date: 2015-03-13 14:38:56 +0100 (Fr, 13. Mär 2015) $ :Copyright: This document has been placed in the public domain. .. sidebar:: Docutils Security for Web Applications For details about securing web applications, please see `Deploying Docutils Securely <../howto/security.html>`_. .. contents:: ------------------- Configuration Files ------------------- Configuration files are used for persistent customization; they can be set once and take effect every time you use a front-end tool. Configuration file settings override the built-in defaults, and command-line options override all. By default, Docutils checks the following places for configuration files, in the following order: 1. ``/etc/docutils.conf``: This is a system-wide configuration file, applicable to all Docutils processing on the system. 2. ``./docutils.conf``: This is a project-specific configuration file, located in the current directory. The Docutils front end has to be executed from the directory containing this configuration file for it to take effect (note that this may have nothing to do with the location of the source files). Settings in the project-specific configuration file will override corresponding settings in the system-wide file. 3. ``~/.docutils``: This is a user-specific configuration file, located in the user's home directory. Settings in this file will override corresponding settings in both the system-wide and project-specific configuration files. If more than one configuration file is found, all will be read but later entries will override earlier ones. For example, a "stylesheet" entry in a user-specific configuration file will override a "stylesheet" entry in the system-wide file. The default implicit config file paths can be overridden by the ``DOCUTILSCONFIG`` environment variable. ``DOCUTILSCONFIG`` should contain a colon-separated (semicolon-separated on Windows) sequence of config file paths to search for; leave it empty to disable implicit config files altogether. Tilde-expansion is performed on paths. Paths are interpreted relative to the current working directory. Empty path items are ignored. In addition, a configuration file may be explicitly specified with the "--config" command-line option. This configuration file is read after the three implicit ones listed above (or the ones defined by the ``DOCUTILSCONFIG`` environment variable), and its entries will have priority. ------------------------- Configuration File Syntax ------------------------- Configuration files are UTF-8-encoded text files. The ConfigParser.py_ module from Python_'s standard library is used to read them. From its documentation: The configuration file consists of sections, lead by a "[section]" header and followed by "name: value" entries, with continuations in the style of `RFC 822`_; "name=value" is also accepted. Note that leading whitespace is removed from values. ... Lines beginning with "#" or ";" are ignored and may be used to provide comments. .. Note:: No format string interpolation is done. Configuration file entry names correspond to internal runtime settings. Underscores ("_") and hyphens ("-") can be used interchangably in entry names; hyphens are automatically converted to underscores. For on/off switch settings (_`booleans`), the following values are recognized: :On: "true", "yes", "on", "1" :Off: "false", "no", "off", "0", "" (no value) .. _list: List values can be comma- or colon-delimited. strip_classes_, strip_elements_with_classes_, stylesheet, and stylesheet_path use the comma as delimiter, whitespace around list values is stripped. :: strip-classes: ham,eggs, strip-elements-with-classes: sugar, salt, flour stylesheet: html4css1.css, math.css, style with spaces.css stylesheet-path: ../styles/my.css, ../styles/funny.css expose_internals_, ignore_ and prune_ use the colon as delimiter and do not strip whitespace:: expose_internals: b:c:d Example ======= This is the contents of the ``tools/docutils.conf`` configuration file supplied with Docutils:: # These entries affect all processing: [general] source-link: yes datestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M UTC generator: on # These entries affect HTML output: [html4css1 writer] # Required for docutils-update, the website build system: stylesheet-path: ../docutils/writers/html4css1/html4css1.css embed-stylesheet: no field-name-limit: 20 Individual configuration sections and settings are described in the following section. ------------------------------------- Configuration File Sections & Entries ------------------------------------- Below are the Docutils runtime settings, listed by config file section. Any setting may be specified in any section, but only settings from active sections will be used. Sections correspond to Docutils components (module name or alias; section names are always in lowercase letters). Each `Docutils application`_ uses a specific set of components; corresponding configuration file sections are applied when the application is used. Configuration sections are applied in general-to-specific order, as follows: 1. `[general]`_ 2. `[parsers]`_, parser dependencies, and the section specific to the Parser used ("[... parser]"). Currently, only `[restructuredtext parser]`_ is applicable. 3. `[readers]`_, reader dependencies, and the section specific to the Reader used ("[... reader]"). For example, `[pep reader]`_ depends on `[standalone reader]`_. 4. `[writers]`_, writer dependencies, and the section specific to the Writer used ("[... writer]"). For example, `[pep_html writer]`_ depends on `[html4css1 writer]`_. 5. `[applications]`_, application dependencies, and the section specific to the Application (front-end tool) in use ("[... application]"). Since any setting may be specified in any section, this ordering allows component- or application-specific overrides of earlier settings. For example, there may be Reader-specific overrides of general settings; Writer-specific overrides of Parser settings; Application-specific overrides of Writer settings; and so on. If multiple configuration files are applicable, the process is completed (all sections are applied in the order given) for each one before going on to the next. For example, a "[pep_html writer] stylesheet" setting in an earlier configuration file would be overridden by an "[html4css1 writer] stylesheet" setting in a later file. Some knowledge of Python_ is assumed for some attributes. .. _ConfigParser.py: http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-ConfigParser.html .. _Python: http://www.python.org/ .. _RFC 822: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc822.txt .. _Docutils application: tools.html [general] ========= Settings in the "[general]" section are always applied. auto_id_prefix -------------- Prefix prepended to all auto-generated IDs generated within the document, after id_prefix_.

See output_encoding_error_handler_ for acceptable values. Default: "backslashreplace" Options: ``--error-encoding-error-handler, --error-encoding, -e``. exit_status_level ----------------- A system message level threshold; non-halting system messages at or above this level will produce a non-zero exit status at normal exit. Exit status is the maximum system message level plus 10 (11 for INFO, etc.). Default: disabled (5). Options: ``--exit-status``. expose_internals ---------------- List_ of internal attribues to expose as external attributes (with "internal:" namespace prefix). To specify multiple attributes in configuration files, use colons to separate names; on the command line, the option may be used more than once. Default: don't (None).

Default: enabled (1). Options: ``--footnote-backlinks, --no-footnote-backlinks``. generator --------- Include a "Generated by Docutils" credit and link in the document footer. Default: off (None). Options: ``--generator, -g, --no-generator``. halt_level ---------- The threshold at or above which system messages are converted to exceptions, halting execution immediately. If `traceback`_ is set, the exception will propagate; otherwise, Docutils will exit. Default: severe (4). Options: ``--halt, --strict``. id_prefix --------- Prefix prepended to all IDs generated within the document. See also auto_id_prefix_. Default: "" (empty). Options: ``--id-prefix`` (hidden, intended mainly for programmatic use). input_encoding -------------- The text encoding for input. Default: auto-detect (None). Options: ``--input-encoding, -i``. input_encoding_error_handler ---------------------------- The error handler for undecodable characters in the input. Acceptable values include: strict Raise an exception in case of an encoding error. replace Replace malformed data with the official Unicode replacement character, U+FFFD. ignore Ignore malformed data and continue without further notice. Acceptable values are the same as for the "error" parameter of Python's ``unicode`` function; other values may be defined in applications or in future versions of Python. Default: "strict". Options: ``--input-encoding-error-handler, --input-encoding, -i``. language_code ------------- Case-insensitive `language tag`_ as defined in `BCP 47`_. Sets the document language, also used for localized directive and role names as well as Docutils-generated text. A typical language identifier consists of a 2-letter language code from `ISO 639`_ (3-letter codes can be used if no 2-letter code exists). The language identifier can have an optional subtag, typically for variations based on country (from `ISO 3166`_ 2-letter country codes). Avoid subtags except where they add useful distinguishing information. Examples of language tags include "fr", "en-GB", "pt-br" (the same as "pt-BR"), and "de-1901" (German with pre-1996 spelling). The language of document parts can be specified with a "language-" `class attribute`_, e.g. ``.. class:: language-el-polyton`` for a quote in polytonic Greek. Default: English ("en").

Acceptable values are the same as for the "error" parameter of Python's ``encode`` string method; other values may be defined in applications or in future versions of Python. Default: "strict". Options: ``--output-encoding-error-handler, --output-encoding, -o``. record_dependencies ------------------- Path to a file where Docutils will write a list of files that were required to generate the output, e.g. included files or embedded stylesheets [#dependencies]_. [#pwd]_ The format is one path per line with forward slashes as separator, the encoding is ``utf8``. Set to ``-`` in order to write dependencies to stdout. This option is particularly useful in conjunction with programs like ``make`` using ``Makefile`` rules like:: ham.html: ham.txt $(shell cat hamdeps.txt) rst2html.py --record-dependencies=hamdeps.txt ham.txt ham.html If the filesystem encoding differs from utf8, replace the ``cat`` command with a call to a converter, e.g.:: $(shell iconv -f utf8 -t latin1 hamdeps.txt) Default: None. Option: ``--record-dependencies``. report_level ------------ Report system messages at or higher than : 1 info 2 warning 3 error 4 severe 5 none Default: warning (2). Options: ``--report, -r, --verbose, -v, --quiet, -q``. sectnum_xform ------------- Enable or disable automatic section numbering by Docutils (docutils.transforms.parts.SectNum) associated with the `sectnum directive`_. If disabled, section numbers might be added to the output by the renderer (e.g. LaTeX or via a CSS style definition). Default: enabled (1). Options: ``--section-numbering``, ``--no-section-numbering``. .. _sectnum directive: ../ref/rst/directives.html#sectnum source_link ----------- Include a "View document source" link in the document footer. URL will be relative to the destination. Default: don't (None).

Options: ``--source-url, --no-source-link``. strict_visitor -------------- When processing a document tree with the Visitor pattern, raise an error if a writer does not support a node type listed as optional. For transitional development use. Default: disabled (None). Option: ``--strict-visitor`` (hidden, for development use only). strip_classes ------------- Comma-separated list_ of "classes" attribute values to remove from all elements in the document tree. The command line option may be used more than once. .. WARNING:: Potentially dangerous; use with caution. Default: disabled (None). Option: ``--strip-class``. strip_comments -------------- Enable the removal of comment elements from the document tree. Default: disabled (None). Options: ``--strip-comments``, ``--leave-comments``. strip_elements_with_classes --------------------------- Comma-separated list_ of "classes" attribute values; matching elements are removed from the document tree. The command line option may be used more than once. .. WARNING:: Potentially dangerous; use with caution. Default: disabled (None). Option: ``--strip-element-with-class``. title ----- The document title as metadata, which does not become part of the document body. It overrides a document-supplied title. For example, in HTML output the metadata document title appears in the title bar of the browser window. Default: none. Option: ``--title``. toc_backlinks ------------- Enable backlinks from section titles to table of contents entries ("entry"), to the top of the TOC ("top"), or disable ("none"). Default: "entry". Options: ``--toc-entry-backlinks, --toc-top-backlinks, --no-toc-backlinks``. traceback --------- Enable Python tracebacks when halt-level system messages and other exceptions occur. Useful for debugging, and essential for issue reports. Exceptions are allowed to propagate, instead of being caught and reported (in a user-friendly way) by Docutils. Default: disabled (None) unless Docutils is run programmatically using the `Publisher Interface`_. Options: ``--traceback, --no-traceback``. .. _Publisher Interface: ../api/publisher.html warning_stream -------------- Path to a file for the output of system messages (warnings) [#pwd]_.

Supported values: booleans_ (yes/no) Use smart quotes? alt (or "alternative") Use alternative quote set (if defined for the language). Default: "no". Option: ``--smart-quotes``. New in Docutils 0.10. .. _quote characters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-English_usage_of_quotation_marks syntax_highlight ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Token type names used by Pygments_ when parsing contents of the code_ directive and role. Supported values: long Use hierarchy of long token type names. short Use short token type names. (For use with `Pygments-generated stylesheets`_.) none No code parsing. Use this to avoid the "Pygments not found" warning when Pygments is not installed. Default: "long". Option: ``--syntax-highlight``.

[pep reader] ------------ The `pep_references`_ and `rfc_references`_ settings (`[restructuredtext parser]`_) are set on by default. [python reader] --------------- Not implemented. [writers] ========= [docutils_xml writer] --------------------- .. Caution:: * In Python versions older than 2.7.3 and 3.2.3, the newlines_ and indents_ options may adversely affect whitespace; use them only for reading convenience (see http://bugs.python.org/issue4147). * The XML declaration carries text encoding information, without which standard tools may be unable to read the generated XML. doctype_declaration ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Generate XML with a DOCTYPE declaration. Default: do (1). Options: ``--no-doctype``. indents ~~~~~~~ Generate XML with indents and newlines. Default: don't (None).

Also defined for the `LaTeX Writer `__. Default: "dash". Options: ``--attribution``. cloak_email_addresses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scramble email addresses to confuse harvesters. In the reference URI, the "@" will be replaced by %-escapes (as of RFC 1738). In the visible text (link text) of an email reference, the "@" and all periods (".") will be surrounded by ```` tags. Furthermore, HTML entities are used to encode these characters in order to further complicate decoding the email address. For example, "abc@example.org" will be output as:: abc@example.org .. Note:: While cloaking email addresses will have little to no impact on the rendering and usability of email links in most browsers, some browsers (e.g. the ``links`` browser) may decode cloaked email addresses incorrectly. Default: don't cloak (None). Option: ``--cloak-email-addresses``. compact_lists ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remove extra vertical whitespace between items of bullet lists and enumerated lists, when list items are all "simple" (i.e., items each contain one paragraph and/or one "simple" sublist only).

Options: ``--compact-lists, --no-compact-lists``. compact_field_lists ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remove extra vertical whitespace between items of field lists that are "simple" (i.e., all field bodies each contain at most one paragraph). The behaviour can be specified directly via "class" attributes (values "compact" and "open") in the document. Default: enabled (1). Options: ``--compact-field-lists, --no-compact-field-lists``. .. _embed_stylesheet [html4css1 writer]: embed_stylesheet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Embed the stylesheet in the output HTML file.

Option: ``--field-name-limit``. .. _footnote_references [html4css1 writer]: footnote_references ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Format for footnote references, one of "superscript" or "brackets". Also defined for the `LaTeX Writer `__. Overrides [#override]_ trim_footnote_reference_space_, if applicable. [#footnote_space]_ Default: "brackets". Option: ``--footnote-references``. initial_header_level ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The initial level for header elements. This does not affect the document title & subtitle; see doctitle_xform_. Default: 1 (for "

"). Option: ``--initial-header-level``. math_output ~~~~~~~~~~~ The format of mathematical content (`math directive`_ and role) in the output document. Supported values are (case insensitive): :HTML: Format math in standard HTML enhanced by CSS rules.

Pro: Works 'out of the box' across multiple browsers and platforms. Supports a large subset of LaTeX math commands and constructs (see http://www.mathjax.org/docs/1.1/tex.html). Con: Requires an Internet connection (or a local MathJax installation and configuration). Downloads JavaScript code from a third-party site. A custom URI can be appended after whitespace, for example a local installation :: math-output: MathJax file:/usr/share/javascript/mathjax/MathJax.js or a URI to `access the MathJax CDN using a https secure connection`__. __ http://www.mathjax.org/resources/faqs/#problem-https :MathML: Embed math content as presentational MathML_. Pro: The W3C recommendation for math on the web. Self-contained documents (no JavaScript, no external downloads). Con: Docutil's latex2mathml converter supports only a small subset of LaTeX syntax. With the "html4css1" writer, the resulting HTML document does not validate, as there is no DTD for MathML + XHTML Transitional. However, MathML-enabled browsers will render it fine. :LaTeX: Include literal LaTeX code. The failsave fallback. Default: "HTML math.css". Option: ``--math-output``. New in Docutils 0.8. .. _math directive: ../ref/rst/directives.html#math .. _MathJax: http://www.mathjax.org/ .. _MathPlayer: http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/ .. _MathML: http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML/ option_limit ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The maximum width (in characters) for options in option lists.

Used by the stylesheet_path__ setting when expanding relative path arguments. Note: This setting defines a "search path" (similar to the PATH variable for executables). However, the term "path" is already used in the stylesheet_path__ setting with the meaning of a file location. __ __ `stylesheet_path [html4css1 writer]`_ Default: the working directory of the process at launch and the directory with default stylesheet files (writer and installation specific). Use the ``--help`` option to get the exact value. Option: ``--stylesheet-directories``. .. _stylesheet_path [html4css1 writer]: stylesheet_path ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A comma-separated list of paths to CSS stylesheets. Relative paths are expanded if a matching file is found in the stylesheet_dirs__. If embed_stylesheet__ is False, paths are rewritten relative to the output HTML file. Also defined for the `LaTeX Writer`__. Also overrides "stylesheet". [#override]_ Pass an empty string (to either "stylesheet" or "stylesheet_path") to deactivate stylesheet inclusion. Default: "html4css1.css".

Also defined for the `Docutils XML Writer`__. .. Caution:: The XML declaration carries text encoding information, without which standard tools may be unable to read the generated XML. Default: do (1). Options: ``--no-xml-declaration``. __ `xml_declaration [docutils_xml writer]`_ [html-base writer] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The `html-base` writer uses the settings described in the `[html4css1 writer]`_ section with the following exceptions: Removed options: `field_name_limit`_, `option_limit`_. Different default for: `stylesheet_path `_: Default: "html-base.css" `stylesheet_dirs `_: Default: Installation-dependent. Use the --help option to get the exact value. [xhtml11 writer] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The XHTML1.1 Writer derives from the `html-base` writer and uses the same setings. The "[html-base writer]" section of configuration files is processed before the "[xhtml11 writer]" section. Different default for: `stylesheet_path `_: Default: "html-base.css,xhtml11.css" `stylesheet_dirs `_: Default: Installation-dependent. Use the --help option to get the exact value. math_output_: Default: "MathML" [pep_html writer] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The PEP/HTML Writer derives from the standard HTML Writer, and shares all settings defined in the `[html4css1 writer]`_ section. The "[html4css1 writer]" section of configuration files is processed before the "[pep_html writer]" section. The PEP/HTML Writer's default for the following settings differ from those of the standard HTML Writer: `stylesheet_path `_: Default: "pep.css" `template
