# # epydoc package file # # A python documentation Module # Edward Loper # # $Id: __init__.py 1209 2006-04-10 13:23:24Z edloper $ # """ Markup language support for docstrings. Each submodule defines a parser for a single markup language. These parsers convert an object's docstring to a L{ParsedDocstring}, a standard intermediate representation that can be used to generate output. C{ParsedDocstring}s support the following operations: - output generation (L{to_plaintext()}, L{to_html()}, and L{to_latex()}). - Summarization (L{summary()}). - Field extraction (L{split_fields()}). - Index term extraction (L{index_terms()}. The L{parse()} function provides a single interface to the C{epydoc.markup} package: it takes a docstring and the name of a markup language; delegates to the appropriate parser; and returns the parsed docstring (along with any errors or warnings that were generated). The C{ParsedDocstring} output generation methods (C{to_M{format}()}) use a L{DocstringLinker} to link the docstring output with the rest of the documentation that epydoc generates. C{DocstringLinker}s are currently responsible for translating two kinds of crossreference: - index terms (L{translate_indexterm() }). - identifier crossreferences (L{translate_identifier_xref() }). A parsed docstring's fields can be extracted using the L{ParsedDocstring.split_fields()} method. This method divides a docstring into its main body and a list of L{Field}s, each of which encodes a single field. The field's bodies are encoded as C{ParsedDocstring}s. Markup errors are represented using L{ParseError}s. These exception classes record information about the cause, location, and severity of each error. @sort: parse, ParsedDocstring, Field, DocstringLinker @group Errors and Warnings: ParseError @group Utility Functions: parse_type_of @var SCRWIDTH: The default width with which text will be wrapped when formatting the output of the parser. @type SCRWIDTH: C{int} @var _parse_warnings: Used by L{_parse_warn}.
