about python-creole

python-creole is a OpenSource (GPL) Python lib for converting markups. python-creole is pure python. No external libs needed.

Compatible Python Versions (see tox config in pyproject.toml):

  • 3.9, 3.8, 3.7
  • PyPy3

Existing converters:

  • creole -> html
  • html -> creole markup
  • reSt -> html (for clean html code)
  • html -> reStructuredText markup (only a subset of reSt supported)
  • html -> textile markup (not completed yet)
  • html -> markdown markup

The creole2html part based on the creole markup parser and emitter from the MoinMoin project by Radomir Dopieralski and Thomas Waldmann.

install

Python packages available on: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-creole/

~$ pip install python-creole

To setup a virtualenv via Poetry, see unittests section below.

example

creole2html

Convert creole markup to html code:

>>> from creole import creole2html
>>> creole2html("This is **creole //markup//**")
'<p>This is <strong>creole <i>markup</i></strong></p>\n'

html2creole

Convert html code back into creole markup:

>>> from creole import html2creole
>>> html2creole('<p>This is <strong>creole <i>markup</i></strong></p>\n')
'This is **creole //markup//**'

rest2html

Convert ReStructuredText into clean html code (needs docutils):

>>> from creole.rest2html.clean_writer import rest2html
>>> rest2html(u"A ReSt link to `PyLucid CMS <http://www.pylucid.org>`_ :)")
'<p>A ReSt link to <a href="http://www.pylucid.org">PyLucid CMS</a> :)</p>\\n'

(more information: rest2html wiki page)

html2rest

Convert html code into ReStructuredText markup:

>>> from creole import html2rest
>>> html2rest('<p>This is <strong>ReStructuredText</strong> <em>markup</em>!</p>')
'This is **ReStructuredText** *markup*!'

html2textile

Convert html code into textile markup

>>> from creole import html2textile
>>> html2textile('<p>This is <strong>textile <i>markup</i></strong>!</p>')
'This is *textile __markup__*!'

See also: http://github.com/jedie/python-creole/blob/master/demo.py

html2markdown

Convert html code into textile markup

>>> from creole import html2markdown
>>> html2markdown('<p>This is <strong>markdown <i>markup</i></strong>!</p>')
'This is **markdown _markup_**!'

See also: http://github.com/jedie/python-creole/blob/main/demo.py

Image size additional

You can pass image width/height in image tags, e.g.:

>>> from creole import creole2html
>>> creole_markup="""{{foobar.jpg|image title|90x160}}"""
>>> creole2html(creole_markup)
'<p><img src="foobar.jpg" title="image title" alt="image title" width="90" height="160" /></p>'

The third part (90x160) is not in creole standard, you can force a strict mode, e.g.:

>>> creole2html(creole_markup, strict=True)
'<p><img src="foobar.jpg" title="image title|90x160" alt="image title|90x160" /></p>'

Source code highlighting support

You can find a example macro which highlight source code thanks to the pygments library. It is located here: /creole/shared/example_macros.py. Here is how to use it:

>>> from creole import creole2html
>>> from creole.shared.example_macros import code
>>> creole_markup="""<<code ext=".py">>#some code\nprint('coucou')\n<</code>>"""
>>> creole2html(creole_markup, macros={'code': code})

commandline interface

If you have python-creole installed, you will get these simple CLI scripts:

  • creole2html
  • html2creole
  • html2rest
  • html2textile
  • html2markdown

Here the --help output from html2creole:

$ html2creole --help
usage: html2creole [-h] [-v] [--encoding ENCODING] sourcefile destination

python-creole is an open-source (GPL) markup converter in pure Python for:
creole2html, html2creole, html2ReSt, html2textile

positional arguments:
  sourcefile           source file to convert
  destination          Output filename

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  -v, --version        show program's version number and exit
  --encoding ENCODING  Codec for read/write file (default encoding: utf-8)

Example to convert a html file into a creole file:

$ html2creole foobar.html foobar.creole

documentation

We store documentation/examples into the project wiki:

Use creole in README

With python-creole you can convert a README on-the-fly from creole into ReStructuredText in setup.py How to do this, read: https://github.com/jedie/python-creole/wiki/Use-In-Setup

Note: In this case you must install docutils! See above.
