Class ParsedJavadocDocstring

ParsedDocstring --+
                  |
                 ParsedJavadocDocstring


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.
Method Summary
  __init__(self, docstring, errors)
Create a new ParsedJavadocDocstring.
  concatenate(self, other)
Return a new parsed docstring containing the concatination of this docstring and other.
ParsedDocstring summary(self)
Return a short summary of this docstring.
string to_plaintext(self, docstring_linker, **options)
Translate this docstring to plaintext.
  _check_links(self, errors)
Make sure that all @{link}s are valid.
Inherited from ParsedDocstring: __add__, index_terms, to_latex
    Field Splitting
(ParsedDocstring, list of Field) split_fields(self, errors)
Split this docstring into its body and its fields.
    HTML Output
string to_html(self, docstring_linker, **options)
Translate this docstring to HTML.

Class Variable Summary

Method Details

split_fields(self, errors=None)

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.
           (type=list of ParseError)
Returns:
A tuple (body, fields), where body is the main body of this docstring, and fields is a list of its fields.
           (type=(ParsedDocstring, list of Field))
Overrides:
epydoc.markup.ParsedDocstring.split_fields (inherited documentation)

to_html(self, docstring_linker, **options)

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

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

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

concatenate(self, other)

Returns:
A new parsed docstring containing the concatination of this docstring and other.
Raises:
ValueError - If the two parsed docstrings are incompatible.
Overrides:
epydoc.markup.ParsedDocstring.concatenate (inherited documentation)

summary(self)

Returns:
A short summary of this docstring. Typically, the summary consists of the first sentence of the docstring.
           (type=ParsedDocstring)
Overrides:
epydoc.markup.ParsedDocstring.summary (inherited documentation)

to_plaintext(self, docstring_linker, **options)

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

_check_links(self, errors)

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.

Class Variable Details

_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.
Type:
list
Value:
['group',
 'variable',
 'var',
 'type',
 'cvariable',
 'cvar',
 'ivariable',
 'ivar',
...                                                                    

_FIELD_RE

A regular expression used to search for Javadoc block tags.
Type:
SRE_Pattern
Value:
(^\s*@\w+[\s\$])                                                       

_LINK_SPLIT_RE

A regular expression used to search for Javadoc inline tags.
Type:
SRE_Pattern
Value:
(\{@link(?:plain)?\s[^\}]+\})                                          

_LINK_RE

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