"""Transform argparse epilog "examples:" definition lists into documentation sections.
This Sphinx extension post-processes sphinx_argparse_neo output to convert
specially-formatted "examples:" definition lists in argparse epilogs into
proper documentation sections with syntax-highlighted code blocks.
The extension is designed to be generic and reusable across different projects.
All behavior can be customized via Sphinx configuration options.
Purpose
-------
When documenting CLI tools with argparse, it's useful to include examples in
the epilog. This extension recognizes a specific definition list format and
transforms it into structured documentation sections that appear in the TOC.
Input Format
------------
Format your argparse epilog with definition lists where terms end with "examples:":
.. code-block:: python
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
epilog=textwrap.dedent('''
examples:
myapp sync
myapp sync myrepo
Machine-readable output examples:
myapp sync --json
myapp sync -F json myrepo
'''),
formatter_class=argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter,
)
The epilog text will be parsed as a definition list by docutils, with:
- Terms: "examples:", "Machine-readable output examples:", etc.
- Definitions: The example commands (one per line)
Output
------
The extension transforms these into proper sections:
- A base "examples:" term creates an "Examples" section
- Category-prefixed terms like "Machine-readable output examples:" create
subsections nested under the parent Examples section
- Each command line becomes a syntax-highlighted console code block
Configuration
-------------
Configure via conf.py. All options have sensible defaults.
**Term Detection:**
``argparse_examples_term_suffix`` : str (default: "examples")
Term must end with this string to be treated as an examples header.
``argparse_examples_base_term`` : str (default: "examples")
Exact match for the base examples section (case-insensitive).
``argparse_examples_section_title`` : str (default: "Examples")
Title used for the base examples section.
**Usage Detection:**
``argparse_usage_pattern`` : str (default: "usage:")
Text must start with this to be treated as a usage block (case-insensitive).
**Code Block Formatting:**
``argparse_examples_command_prefix`` : str (default: "$ ")
Prefix added to each command line in examples code blocks.
``argparse_examples_code_language`` : str (default: "console")
Language identifier for examples code blocks.
``argparse_examples_code_classes`` : list[str] (default: ["highlight-console"])
CSS classes added to examples code blocks.
``argparse_usage_code_language`` : str (default: "cli-usage")
Language identifier for usage blocks.
**Behavior:**
``argparse_reorder_usage_before_examples`` : bool (default: True)
Whether to reorder nodes so usage appears before examples.
Additional Features
-------------------
- Removes ANSI escape codes (useful when FORCE_COLOR is set)
- Applies syntax highlighting to usage blocks
- Reorders sections so usage appears before examples in the output
- Extracts sections from argparse_program containers for TOC visibility
Project-Specific Setup
----------------------
Projects using this extension should register their own lexers and CSS in
their conf.py setup() function. For example::
def setup(app):
from my_lexer import MyLexer
app.add_lexer("my-output", MyLexer)
app.add_css_file("css/my-highlight.css")
