http://dpaste.com/0TNABQ8 <- anyone can help me with this traceback?

I haven't done anything particular with stylesheets in my code, so I don't know if I am supposed to specify them somewhere or what

howdy Taggnostr

hello willingc

Are there any stylesheet settings in your theme.conf

I don't have a theme.conf (afaik)

I'm trying to create a new builder to output html in a specific format

I already have the writer, and I was successfully using it with plain docutils, and now I'm trying to port it to sphinx

Hmm...have you tried it with the latest version of Sphinx

and afaiu that requires me to write a new extension that defines a new builder

no, but maybe themes are related

I inherited from the default HTML builder, so maybe that looks for themes

even though the error comes from docutils, not from sphinx

Do you know where the Values object comes from?

<class 'docutils.frontend.Values'>

not sure where it comes from though

Hmm...

I'm looking at the Sphinx source for some clues

maybe I shouldn't inherit from the base HTML builder and write a new builder from scratch, except that I'm not sure how to do it

I already tried looking at the source, but haven't found anything interesting so far...

Did you look here? sphinx/sphinx/writers/html.py

yes

looks like line 54 has stylesheet

I tried to add that bit but nothing changed

blech

also the one at line 40

now I'm trying to write the translator without inheriting from the one at line 64

Complete shot in the dark could this be related: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/1764

in theory my writer is able to output the full html document, so it shouldn't care about themes, templates, and other similar things

I just want to use some extra directives that sphinx provides

so my plan was to stick my writer in sphinx, and then add the missing visit_node/depart_node (or probably inherit them from sphinx)

like this one

so this means I need to inherit from HTMLTranslator after all, and then I guess I'll have to override all the extra things I don't need

That seems like a reasonable approach. Have you seen the doc from the comments in html.py http://www.arnebrodowski.de/blog/write-your-own...

yes, this is what I did for my basic writer :)

So writer was subclassed and the translator too.

I'm stumped

Taggnostr: What does ext/oldcmarkup.py do? https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/search?q=o...

I don't know, I think it's added automatically because I don't even see it in the config

but maybe I'm doing some progress

my class subclasses this one, and in the __init__ I call the baseclass with super()

however I get other errors related to the settings, and I found out that the settings are document.settings, and document is passed in *args

so I can just do document.settings.stylesheet = None and the error goes away

I think the ext.oldcmarkup.py was removed

and I get this instead: AttributeError: 'Values' object has no attribute 'stylesheet_path'

I'll try to define them all and see what happens, even though I think I might need to copy them from somewhere else...

When you do a custom theme you need to specify path and stylesheet

Set the path to None and see what happens

fwiw when I was using the writer directly I was specifying the stylesheets with the --stylesheet option

but that's something I could look at later

Is it working now?

maybe I got what's going on

the missing settings are on the translator rather than the document

oh for goodness sake

I bet you are correct

I just tried printing self.settings instead of document.settings (the one searched for by docutils), and I found the missing attributes

so I'll just copy them over and see what happens :)

Cool. Hope you get it. Time to cook dinner. Good luck!

thanks :)

ok, I noticed something else

the file in the root seem to have all the attributes, the one in subdirs don't
