Note

To really have any effect besides looking pretty, each widget set up here must be also parsed in the parse_user_options() method below.

Modifies all options to have the value they were last used as. Call this function after all options have been added.

parse_user_options()

Parses UI controls (widgets) for the options specific for this module.

This method MUST be overridden by modules that define new options.

After obtaining values from the widgets, they MUST be used to set the appropriate options_dict values. Otherwise the values will not have any user-visible effect.

Cite any sources for the object and add them to the bibliography.

Parameters

• bibliography (Bibliography) – The bibliography to contain the citations.

• obj (CitationBase) – An object with source references.

• elocale (a GrampsLocale instance) – allow deferred translation of dates and strings

class gramps.gen.plug.report._paper.PageSizeParser(paper_list)

Bases: xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler

Parses the XML file and builds the list of page sizes

setDocumentLocator(locator)

Called by the parser to give the application a locator for locating the origin of document events.

SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely required) to supply a locator: if it does so, it must supply the locator to the application by invoking this method before invoking any of the other methods in the DocumentHandler interface.

The locator allows the application to determine the end position of any document-related event, even if the parser is not reporting an error. Typically, the application will use this information for reporting its own errors (such as character content that does not match an application’s business rules). The information returned by the locator is probably not sufficient for use with a search engine.

Note that the locator will return correct information only during the invocation of the events in this interface. The application should not attempt to use it at any other time.

File and File format management for the different reports

class gramps.gen.plug.docbackend.docbackend.DocBackend(filename=None)

Bases: object

Base class for text document backends. The DocBackend manages a file to which it writes. It further knowns enough of the file format to be able to translate between the BaseDoc API and the file format. Specifically for text reports a translation of styled notes to the file format usage is done.

add_markup_from_styled(text, s_tags, split='', escape=True)

Input is plain text, output is text with markup added according to the s_tags which are assumed to be styledtexttags. When split is given the text will be split over the value given, and tags applied in such a way that it the text can be safely splitted in pieces along split.

Parameters

• text – str, a piece of text

• s_tags – styledtexttags that must be applied to the text

• split – str, optional. A string along which the output can be safely split without breaking the styling.

As adding markup means original text must be escaped, ESCAPE_FUNC is used. This can be used to convert the text of a styledtext to the format needed for a document backend. Do not call this method in a report, use the write_markup() method.

Note

the algorithm is complex as it assumes mixing of tags is not allowed: eg <b>text<i> here</b> not</i> is assumed invalid as markup. If the s_tags require such a setup, what is returned is <b>text</b><i><b> here</b> not</i> overwrite this method if this complexity is not needed.

close()

Closes the file that is written on.

escape(preformatted=False)

The escape func on text for this file format.

Parameters

preformatted (bool) – some formats can have different escape function for normal text and preformatted text

property filename

The filename the backend works on

find_tag_by_stag(s_tag)

Parameters

• s_tag – object: assumed styledtexttag

• s_tagvalue – None/int/str: value associated with the tag

A styled tag is type with a value. Every styled tag must be converted to the tags used in the corresponding markup for the backend, eg <b>text</b> for bold in html. These markups are stored in STYLETAG_MARKUP. They are tuples for begin and end tag. If a markup is not present yet, it is created, using the _create_xmltag() method you can overwrite.

format_link(value)

Default format for links. Override for better support.

value is: “TYPE DATA” where TYPE is ‘url’ or ‘ref’.

getf()

Obtain the filename on which backend writes

open()

Opens the document.

setf(value)

Set the filename on which the backend writes, changing the value passed on initialization. Can only be done if the previous filename is not open.

write(string)

Write a string to the file. There is no return value. Due to buffering, the string may not actually show up until the close() method is called.

writelines(sequence)

Write a sequence of strings to the file. The sequence can be any iterable object producing strings, typically a list of strings.
