.. module:: cssutils.serialize
.. index::
single: ser, cssutils.ser
pair: object; cssutils.ser
===============
serializing CSS
===============
To serialize any stylesheet use::
print sheet.cssText
Also most other objects have a similar property which contains the *text* content of each object. Some use a slightly different name (e.g. ``selectorText``) but all use the global serializer::
>>> sheet = cssutils.parseString('a, b { color: green }')
>>> print sheet.cssRules[0].cssText
a, b {
color: green
}
>>> print sheet.cssRules[0].selectorText
a, b
>>> print sheet.cssRules[0].selectorList[1].selectorText
b
.. _Preferences:
.. index::
single: cssutils.ser.prefs
pair: object; cssutils.ser.prefs
``Preferences``
===============
Quite a few preferences of the cssutils serializer may be tweaked.
To set a preference use::
cssutils.ser.prefs.PREFNAME = NEWVALUE
Preferences are always used *globally*, so for all stylesheets until preferences are set again.
.. autoclass:: cssutils.serialize.Preferences

``CSSSerializer``
=================
There is a single global serializer used throughout the library. You may configure it by setting specific Preferences_ or completely replace it with your own.
A custom serializer must implement all methods the default one provides. Easiest would be to subclass :class:`cssutils.serialize.CSSSerializer`.
To set a new serializer, use::
cssutils.setSerializer(serializer)
You may also set ``cssutils.ser`` directly but the above method is the preferred one.
For most cases adjusting the ``cssutils.ser.prefs`` of the default serializer should be sufficient though.
.. autoclass:: cssutils.serialize.CSSSerializer
