This module implements a reStructuredText (RST) and Markdown parser. User’s manual on supported markup syntax and command line usage can be found in Nim-flavored Markdown and reStructuredText.
- See also Nim DocGen Tools Guide for handling of .nim files.
- See also packages/docutils/rstgen module to know how to generate HTML or Latex strings (for embedding them into custom documents).
Choice between Markdown and RST as well as optional additional features are turned on by passing options: RstParseOptions to proc rstParse.
Imports

Types
EParseError = object of ValueError
FindFileHandler = proc (filename: string): string {.closure, ...gcsafe.}
FindRefFileHandler = proc (targetRelPath: string): tuple[targetPath: string,
linkRelPath: string] {.closure, ...gcsafe.}
returns where .html or .idx file should be found by its relative path; linkRelPath is a prefix to be added before a link anchor from such file Source Edit
MsgClass = enum
mcHint = "Hint", mcWarning = "Warning", mcError = "Error"
MsgHandler = proc (filename: string; line, col: int; msgKind: MsgKind;
arg: string) {.closure, ...gcsafe.}

RstParseOption = enum
roSupportSmilies, ## make the RST parser support smilies like ``:)``
roSupportRawDirective, ## support the ``raw`` directive (don't support
## it for sandboxing)
roSupportMarkdown, ## support additional features of Markdown
roPreferMarkdown, ## parse as Markdown (keeping RST as "extension"
## to Markdown) -- implies `roSupportMarkdown`
roNimFile, ## set for Nim files where default interpreted
## text role should be :nim:
roSandboxDisabled ## this option enables certain options
## (e.g. raw, include, importdoc)
## which are disabled by default as they can
## enable users to read arbitrary data and
## perform XSS if the parser is used in a web
## app.

ColRstInit = 0
Initial column number for standalone RST text (Nim global reporting adds ColOffset=1) Source Edit

Procs
proc addAnchorNim(s: var PRstSharedState; external: bool; refn: string;
tooltip: string; langSym: LangSymbol; priority: int;
info: TLineInfo; module: FileIndex) {....raises: [], tags: [],
forbids: [].}
Adds an anchor refn, which follows the rule arNim (i.e. a symbol in *.nim file) Source Edit
proc addFilename(s: PRstSharedState; file1: string): FileIndex {....raises: [],
tags: [], forbids: [].}
Returns index of filename, adding it if it has not been used before Source Edit
proc addNodes(n: PRstNode): string {....raises: [], tags: [], forbids: [].}
proc completePass2(s: PRstSharedState) {....raises: [ValueError, Exception],
tags: [RootEffect], forbids: [].}
proc defaultFindFile(filename: string): string {....raises: [],
tags: [ReadDirEffect], forbids: [].}
proc defaultFindRefFile(filename: string): (string, string) {....raises: [],
tags: [], forbids: [].}
proc defaultMsgHandler(filename: string; line, col: int; msgkind: MsgKind;
arg: string) {....raises: [ValueError, EParseError, IOError],
tags: [WriteIOEffect], forbids: [].}
proc getArgument(n: PRstNode): string {....raises: [], tags: [], forbids: [].}
proc getFieldValue(n: PRstNode): string {....raises: [], tags: [], forbids: [].}
Returns the value of a specific rnField node.
This proc will assert if the node is not of the expected type. The empty string will be returned as a minimum. Any value in the rst will be stripped form leading/trailing whitespace.
proc getFieldValue(n: PRstNode; fieldname: string): string {....gcsafe, raises: [],
tags: [], forbids: [].}
proc newRstSharedState(options: RstParseOptions; filename: string;
findFile: FindFileHandler;
findRefFile: FindRefFileHandler; msgHandler: MsgHandler;
hasToc: bool): PRstSharedState {....raises: [], tags: [],
forbids: [].}
proc preparePass2(s: var PRstSharedState; mainNode: PRstNode; importdoc = true) {.
...raises: [Exception, ValueError, KeyError], tags: [RootEffect, ReadIOEffect],
forbids: [].}
Records titles in node mainNode and orders footnotes. Source Edit
proc resolveSubs(s: PRstSharedState; n: PRstNode): PRstNode {.
...raises: [ValueError, Exception, KeyError],
tags: [ReadEnvEffect, RootEffect], forbids: [].}
Makes pass 2 of RST parsing. Resolves substitutions and anchor aliases, groups footnotes. Takes input node n and returns the same node with recursive substitutions in n.sons to result. Source Edit
proc rstMessage(filenames: RstFileTable; f: MsgHandler; info: TLineInfo;
msgKind: MsgKind; arg: string) {.
...raises: [ValueError, Exception], tags: [RootEffect], forbids: [].}
Print warnings using info, i.e. in 2nd-pass warnings for footnotes/substitutions/references or from rstgen.nim. Source Edit
proc rstnodeToRefname(n: PRstNode): string {....raises: [], tags: [], forbids: [].}
proc rstParse(text, filename: string; line, column: int;
options: RstParseOptions; findFile: FindFileHandler = nil;
findRefFile: FindRefFileHandler = nil;
msgHandler: MsgHandler = nil): tuple[node: PRstNode,
filenames: RstFileTable, hasToc: bool] {.
...raises: [Exception, ValueError, IOError, KeyError],
tags: [RootEffect, ReadDirEffect, ReadIOEffect, ReadEnvEffect], forbids: [].}
Parses the whole text. The result is ready for rstgen.renderRstToOut, note that 2nd tuple element should be fed to initRstGenerator argument filenames (it is being filled here at least with filename and possibly with other files from RST .. include:: statement). Source Edit
proc rstParsePass1(fragment: string; line, column: int;
sharedState: PRstSharedState): PRstNode {.
...raises: [Exception, ValueError, IOError],
tags: [RootEffect, ReadDirEffect, ReadIOEffect], forbids: [].}
Parses an RST fragment. The result should be further processed by preparePass2 and resolveSubs (which is pass 2). Source Edit
