Generates (X)HTML5 documents from standalone reStructuredText sources
Project description
rst2html5
rst2html5 generates (X)HTML5 documents from standalone reStructuredText sources.
It is a complete rewrite of the docutils’ rst2html and uses new HTML5 constructs such as
<section> and <aside>.
Installation
$ pip install rst2html5
Usage
$ rst2html5 [options] SOURCE
Options:
| --no-indent | Don’t indent output |
| --stylesheet=<URL or path> | |
| Specify a stylesheet URL to be included. (This option can be used multiple times) | |
| --script=<URL or path> | |
| Specify a script URL to be included. (This option can be used multiple times) | |
| --script-defer=<URL or path> | |
| Specify a script URL with a defer attribute to be included in the output HTML file. (This option can be used multiple times) | |
| --script-async=<URL or path> | |
| Specify a script URL with a async attribute to be included in the output HTML file. (This option can be used multiple times) | |
| --html-tag-attr=<attribute> | |
| Specify a html tag attribute. (This option can be used multiple times) | |
| --template=<filename or text> | |
| Specify a filename or text to be used as the HTML5 output template. The template must have the {head} and {body} placeholders. The “<html{html_attr}>” placeholder is recommended. | |
| --define=<identifier> | |
| Define a case insensitive identifier to be used with ifdef and ifndef directives. There is no value associated with an identifier. (This option can be used multiple times) |
Example
Consider the following rst snippet:
Title ===== Some text and a target to `Title 2`_. **strong emphasis**: * item 1 * item 2 Title 2 ======= .. parsed-literal:: Inline markup is supported, e.g. *emphasis*, **strong**, ``literal text``, _`hyperlink targets`, and `references <http://www.python.org/>`_
The html5 produced is clean and tidy:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> </head> <body> <section id="title"> <h1>Title</h1> <p>Some text and a target to <a href="#title-2">Title 2</a>. <strong>strong emphasis</strong>:</p> <ul> <li>item 1</li> <li>item 2</li> </ul> </section> <section id="title-2"> <h1>Title 2</h1> <pre>Inline markup is supported, e.g. <em>emphasis</em>, <strong>strong</strong>, <code>literal text</code>, <a id="hyperlink-targets">hyperlink targets</a>, and <a href="http://www.python.org/">references</a></pre> </section> </body> </html>
Stylesheets and Scripts
No stylesheets or scripts are spread over the html5 by default. However stylesheets and javascripts URLs or paths can be included through stylesheet and script options:
$ rst2html5 example.rst \ --stylesheet https://example.com/css/default.css \ --stylesheet-inline css/simple.css \ --script https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js --script-defer js/test1.js --script-async js/test2.js
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://example.com/css/default.css" /> <style>h1 {font-size: 20em} img.icon { width: 48px; height: 48px; } h2 {color: red} </style> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="js/test1.js" defer="defer"></script> <script src="js/test2.js" async="async"></script> </head> ...
Alternatively, you could specify stylesheets and scripts using directives in the rst:
.. stylesheet:: https://example.com/css/default.css .. stylesheet:: css/simple.css :inline: .. script:: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js .. script:: js/test1.js :defer: .. script:: js/test2.js :async: Title ===== ...
Html tag attributes can be included through html-tag-attr option:
$ rst2html5 --html-tag-attr 'lang="pt-BR"' example.rst
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="pt-BR"> ...
Templates
Custom html5 template via the --template option. Example:
$ template='<!DOCTYPE html>
<html{html_attr}>
<head>{head} <!-- custom links and scripts -->
<link href="css/default.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="css/pygments.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>{body}</body>
</html>'
$ echo 'one line' > example.rst
$ rst2html5 --template "$template" example.rst
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <!-- custom links and scripts --> <link href="css/default.css" rel="stylesheet" /> <link href="css/pygments.css" rel="stylesheet" /> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <p>one line</p> </body> </html>
New Directives
rst2html5 provides some new directives: define, undef, ifdef and ifndef,
similar to those used in C++.
They allow to conditionally include (or not) some rst snippets:
.. ifdef:: x this line will be included if 'x' was previously defined
In case of you check two or more identifiers, there must be an operator ([and | or]) defined:
.. ifdef:: x y z :operator: or This line will be included only if 'x', 'y' or 'z' is defined.
From rst2html5 1.9, you can include stylesheets and scripts via directives inside a reStructuredText text:
Just an ordinary paragraph. .. stylesheet:: css/default.css .. stylesheet:: https://pronus.io/css/standard.css .. script:: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js .. script:: slide.js :defer: .. script:: test/animations.js :async: Another paragraph
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <link href="css/default.css" rel="stylesheet" /> <link href="https://pronus.io/css/standard.css" rel="stylesheet" /> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script> <script src="slide.js" defer="defer"></script> <script src="test/animations.js" async="async"></script> </head> <body> <p>Just an ordinary paragraph.</p> <p>Another paragraph</p> </body> </html>
There also is a template directive. The usage is:
.. template:: filename or .. template:: template content here.
