ClassType ParsedJavadocDocstring

source code


An encoded version of a Javadoc docstring. Since Javadoc is a fairly simple markup language, we don't do any processing in advance; instead, we wait to split fields or resolve crossreference links until we need to.

__init__(self, docstring, errors=None)

Method Details [hide private]

__init__(self, docstring, errors=None)
(Constructor)

source code 

Create a new ParsedJavadocDocstring.

Parameters:
  • docstring (string) - The docstring that should be used to construct this ParsedJavadocDocstring.
  • errors (list of ParseError) - A list where any errors generated during parsing will be stored. If no list is given, then all errors are ignored.

split_fields(self, errors=None)

source code 

Split this docstring into its body and its fields.

Parameters:
  • errors - A list where any errors generated during splitting will be stored. If no list is specified, then errors will be ignored.
Returns: (ParsedDocstring, list of Field)
A tuple (body, fields), where body is the main body of this docstring, and fields is a list of its fields. If the resulting body is empty, return None for the body.
Overrides: ParsedDocstring.split_fields
(inherited documentation)

to_html(self, docstring_linker, **options)

source code 

Translate this docstring to HTML.

Parameters:
  • docstring_linker - An HTML translator for crossreference links into and out of the docstring.
  • options - Any extra options for the output. Unknown options are ignored.
Returns: string
An HTML fragment that encodes this docstring.
Overrides: ParsedDocstring.to_html
(inherited documentation)

_check_links(self, errors)

source code 

Make sure that all @{link}s are valid. We need a separate method for ths because we want to do this at parse time, not html output time. Any errors found are appended to errors.

to_plaintext(self, docstring_linker, **options)

source code 

Translate this docstring to plaintext.

Parameters:
  • docstring_linker - A plaintext translator for crossreference links into and out of the docstring.
  • options - Any extra options for the output. Unknown options are ignored.
Returns: string
A plaintext fragment that encodes this docstring.
Overrides: ParsedDocstring.to_plaintext
(inherited documentation)

summary(self)

source code 
Returns: (ParsedDocstring, bool)
A pair consisting of a short summary of this docstring and a boolean value indicating whether there is further documentation in addition to the summary. Typically, the summary consists of the first sentence of the docstring.
Overrides: ParsedDocstring.summary
(inherited documentation)

Class Variable Details [hide private]

_ARG_FIELDS

A list of the fields that take arguments. Since Javadoc doesn't mark arguments in any special way, we must consult this list to decide whether the first word of a field is an argument or not.
Value:
['group',
 'variable',
 'var',
 'type',
 'cvariable',
 'cvar',
 'ivariable',
 'ivar',
...

_LINK_RE

A regular expression used to process Javadoc inline tags.
Value:
re.compile(r'\{@link(?:plain)?\s+([\w#\.]+)(?:\([^\)]*\))?(\s+.*)?\}')
