reStructuredText linter
Project description
This was created out of frustration with PyPI; it sucks finding out your reST is invalid after uploading it. It is being developed in junction with a Sublime Text linter.
Getting Started
Install the module with: pip install restructuredtext_lint
import restructuredtext_lint
errors = restructuredtext_lint.lint("""
Hello World
=======
""")
# `errors` will be list of system messages
# [<system_message: <paragraph...><literal_block...>>]
errors[0].message # Title underline too short.CLI Utility
For your convenience, we present a CLI utility rst-lint (also available as restructuredtext-lint).
$ rst-lint --help
usage: rst-lint [-h] [--format FORMAT] [--encoding ENCODING] filepath
Lint a reStructuredText file
positional arguments:
filepath File to lint
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--format FORMAT Format of output (e.g. text, json)
--encoding ENCODING Encoding of the source file (e.g. utf-8)
$ rst-lint README.rst
WARNING README.rst:2 Title underline too short.Documentation
restructuredtext-lint exposes a lint and lint_file function
restructuredtext_lint.lint(content, filepath=None)
Lint reStructuredText and return errors
content String - reStructuredText to be linted
filepath String - Optional path to file, this will be returned as the source
Returns:
- errors List - List of errors
- Each error is a class from docutils with the following attrs
line Integer - Line where the error occurred
source String - filepath provided in parameters
- level Integer - Level of the warning
Levels represent ‘info’: 1, ‘warning’: 2, ‘error’: 3, ‘severe’: 4
- type String - Noun describing the error level
Levels can be ‘INFO’, ‘WARNING’, ‘ERROR’, or ‘SEVERE’
message String - Error message
full_message String - Error message and source lines where the error occurred
It should be noted that level, type, message, and full_message are custom attrs added onto the original system_message
restructuredtext_lint.lint_file(filepath, encoding=None)
Lint a reStructuredText file and return errors
filepath String - Path to file for linting
- encoding String - Encoding to read file in as
When None is provided, it will use OS default as provided by locale.getpreferredencoding
The list of supported encodings can be found at http://docs.python.org/2/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings
Returns: Same structure as restructuredtext_lint.lint
Examples
Here is an example of all invalid properties
rst = """
Some content.
Hello World
=======
Some more content!
"""
errors = restructuredtext_lint.lint(rst, 'myfile.py')
errors[0].line # 5
errors[0].source # myfile.py
errors[0].level # 2
errors[0].type # WARNING
errors[0].message # Title underline too short.
errors[0].full_message # Title underline too short.
#
# Hello World
