:Abstract: Docutils is a modular system for processing documentation into
|
||||
useful formats, such as HTML, XML, and LaTeX.
|
||||
For input Docutils supports reStructuredText, an easy-to-read,
|
||||
what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup syntax.

|
||||
Quick-Start
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
This is for those who want to get up & running quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Docutils requires **Python**, available from
|
||||
https://www.python.org/.
|
||||
See Dependencies_ below for details.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Install the latest stable release from PyPi with pip_::
|
||||
|
||||
pip install docutils
|
||||
|
||||
For alternatives and details, see section `Installation`_ below.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Use the `front-end scripts`_ to convert reStructuredText documents.
|
||||
Try for example::
|
||||
|
||||
docutils FAQ.rst FAQ.html
|
||||
|
||||
See Usage_ below for details.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Purpose
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of the Docutils project is to provide a set of tools for
|
||||
processing plaintext documentation into useful formats, such as HTML,
|
||||
LaTeX, troff (man pages), OpenOffice, and native XML. Support for the
|
||||
following sources has been implemented:
|
||||
|
||||
* Standalone files.
|
||||
|
||||
* `PEPs (Python Enhancement Proposals)`_.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for the following sources is planned or provided by
|
||||
`third party tools`_:
|
||||
|
||||
* Inline documentation from Python modules and packages, extracted
|
||||
with namespace context.
|
||||
|
||||
* Email (RFC-822 headers, quoted excerpts, signatures, MIME parts).
|
||||
|
||||
* Wikis, with global reference lookups of "wiki links".
|
||||
|
||||
* Compound documents, such as multiple chapter files merged into a
|
||||
book.
|
||||
|
||||
* And others as discovered.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _PEPs (Python Enhancement Proposals):
|
||||
https://peps.python.org/pep-0012
|
||||
.. _third party tools: docs/user/links.html#related-applications
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Dependencies
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
To run the code, Python_ must be installed.
|
||||
(Python is pre-installed with most Linux distributions.)
|
||||
|
||||
* Since version 0.21, Docutils requires Python 3.9 or later.
|
||||
* Docutils versions 0.19 to 0.20.1 require Python 3.7 or later.
|
||||
* Docutils versions 0.16 to 0.18 require Python 2.7 or 3.5+.
|
||||
|
||||
The **type hints** added in version 0.22 use Python 3.10 syntax.
|
||||
However, the Python interpreter treats them as annotations
|
||||
unless ``typing.TYPE_CHECKING`` is set to ``True``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _Python: https://www.python.org/.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Recommendations
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
Docutils uses the following packages for enhanced functionality, if they
|
||||
are installed:
|
||||
|
||||
* The recommended installer is pip_, setuptools_ works, too.
|
||||
|
||||
* The `Python Imaging Library`_ (PIL) is used for some image
|
||||
manipulation operations.
|
||||
|
||||
* The `Pygments`_ package provides syntax highlight of "code" directives
|
||||
and roles.
|
||||
|
||||
* The `myst`_, `pycmark`_, or `recommonmark`_ parsers can be used to
|
||||
parse input in "Markdown" (CommonMark_) format.
|
||||
|
||||
The `Docutils Link List <docs/user/links.html>`__ records projects that
|
||||
users of Docutils and reStructuredText may find useful.

Installation
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
The `Python Packaging User Guide`_ gives details how to
|
||||
`use pip for installing`_.
|
||||
|
||||
* The simplest way is to install the latest *stable release* from PyPi::
|
||||
|
||||
pip install docutils
|
||||
|
||||
* To install a *pre-relase*, append the option ``--pre``.
|
||||
|
||||
* To install a `development version`_ *from source*:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open a shell
|
||||
|
||||
2. Go to the directory containing the ``pyproject.toml`` file.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Install the package with **one** of the following commands::
|
||||
|
||||
pip install -e . # editable install
|
||||
pip install . # regular install
|
||||
|
||||
or do a `"manual" install`_.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Optional steps:
|
||||
|
||||
* `Running the test suite`_
|
||||
* `Converting the documentation`_
|
||||
|
||||
See also the OS-specific installation instructions below and
|
||||
the `Docutils version repository`_ documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
* To install for a *specific Python version*, use this version in the
|
||||
setup call, e.g. ::
|
||||
|
||||
python3.11 -m pip install docutils
|
||||
|
||||
If the python executable isn't on your path, you'll have to specify the
|
||||
complete path, such as ``/usr/local/bin/python3.11``.
|
||||
|
||||
To install for different Python versions, repeat step 3 for every
|
||||
required version. The last installed version will be used for the
|
||||
``docutils`` command line application.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _Python Packaging User Guide: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/
|
||||
.. _use pip for installing:
|
||||
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/installing-packages/
|
||||
#use-pip-for-installing
|
||||
.. _"editable" install:
|
||||
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/local-project-installs/
|
||||
#editable-installs
|
||||
.. _"manual" install: docs/dev/repository.html#manual-install
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
GNU/Linux, BSDs, Unix, Mac OS X, etc.
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Use ``su`` or ``sudo`` for a system-wide
|
||||
installation as ``root``, e.g.::
|
||||
|
||||
sudo pip install docutils
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
* The Python FAQ explains `how to run a Python program under Windows`__.
|
||||
|
||||
__ https://docs.python.org/3/faq/windows.html
|
||||
#how-do-i-run-a-python-program-under-windows
|
||||
|
||||
* Usually, pip_ is automatically installed if you are using Python
|
||||
downloaded from https://python.org. If not, see the
|
||||
`pip documentation <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/>`__.
|
||||
|
||||
* The command window should recognise the word ``py`` as an instruction to
|
||||
start the interpreter, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
py -m pip install docutils
|
||||
|
||||
If this does not work, you may have to specify the full path to the
|
||||
Python executable.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Usage
|
||||
=====
|
||||
|
||||
Start the "docutils" command line application with::
|
||||
|
||||
docutils [options] [<source> [<destination>]]
|
||||
|
||||
The default action is to convert a reStructuredText_ document to HTML5,
|
||||
for example::
|
||||
|
||||
docutils test.rst test.html
|
||||
|
||||
Read the ``--help`` option output for details on options and arguments and
|
||||
`Docutils Front-End Tools`_ for the full documentation of the various tools.
|
||||
|
||||
For programmatic use of the `docutils` Python package, read the
|
||||
`API Reference Material`_ and the source code.
|
||||
Remaining questions may be answered in the `Docutils Project
|
||||
Documentation`_ or the Docutils-users_ mailing list.

|
||||
Development version
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
While we are trying to follow a "release early & often" policy,
|
||||
features are added frequently.
|
||||
We recommend using a current snapshot or a working copy of the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Repository check-out:
|
||||
To keep up to date on the latest developments,
|
||||
use a `working copy`__ of the `Docutils version repository`_.
|
||||
|
||||
Snapshots:
|
||||
To get a repository _`snapshot`, go to
|
||||
https://sourceforge.net/p/docutils/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/docutils/
|
||||
and click the download snapshot button.
|
||||
|
||||
Unpack in a temporary directory,
|
||||
**not** directly in Python's ``site-packages``.
|
||||
|
||||
See the `Installation`_ instructions above.
|
||||
|
||||
__ docs/dev/repository.html#checking-out-the-repository
|
||||
.. _Docutils version repository: docs/dev/repository.html
|
||||
.. _sandbox: https://docutils.sourceforge.io/sandbox/README.html
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Converting the documentation
|
||||
============================
|
||||
|
||||
After unpacking and installing the Docutils package, the following
|
||||
shell commands will generate HTML for all included documentation::
|
||||
|
||||
cd <archive_directory_path>
|
||||
tools/buildhtml.py .
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows systems, type::
|
||||
|
||||
cd <archive_directory_path>
|
||||
py tools\buildhtml.py ..
|
||||
|
||||
The final directory name of the ``<archive_directory_path>`` is
|
||||
"docutils" for snapshots. For official releases, the directory may be
|
||||
called "docutils-X.Y.Z", where "X.Y.Z" is the release version.
|
||||
|
||||
Some files may generate system messages (warnings and errors). The
|
||||
``docs/user/rst/demo.rst`` file (under the archive directory) contains
|
||||
five intentional errors. (They test the error reporting mechanism!)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Running the Test Suite
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
The test suite is documented in `Docutils Testing`_ (docs/dev/testing.rst).
|
||||
|
||||
To run the entire test suite, open a shell and use the following
|
||||
commands::
|
||||
|
||||
cd <archive_directory_path>/test
|
||||
./alltests.py
|
||||
|
||||
Under Windows, type::
|
||||
|
||||
cd <archive_directory_path>\test
|
||||
python alltests.py
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You should see a long line of periods, one for each test, and then a
|
||||
summary like this::
|
||||
|
||||
Ran 1744 tests in 5.859s
|
||||
|
||||
OK (skipped=1)
|
||||
Elapsed time: 6.235 seconds
|
||||
|
||||
The number of tests will grow over time, and the times reported will
|
||||
depend on the computer running the tests.
|
||||
Some test are skipped, if optional dependencies (`recommendations`_)
|
||||
are missing.
|
||||
The difference between the two times represents the time required to set
|
||||
up the tests (import modules, create data structures, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
A copy of the test output is written to the file ``alltests.out``.
|
||||
|
||||
If any of the tests fail, please `open a bug report`_ or `send an email`_
|
||||
(see `Bugs <BUGS.html>`_).
|
||||
Please include all relevant output, information about your operating
|
||||
system, Python version, and Docutils version. To see the Docutils
|
||||
version, look at the test output or use ::
|
||||
|
||||
