+====================
+Available formatters
+====================
+
+This page lists all builtin formatters.
+
+Common options
+==============
+
+All formatters support these options:
+
+`encoding`
+ If given, must be an encoding name (such as ``"utf-8"``). This will
+ be used to convert the token strings (which are Unicode strings)
+ to byte strings in the output (default: ``None``).
+ It will also be written in an encoding declaration suitable for the
+ document format if the `full` option is given (e.g. a ``meta
+ content-type`` directive in HTML or an invocation of the `inputenc`
+ package in LaTeX).
+
+ If this is ``""`` or ``None``, Unicode strings will be written
+ to the output file, which most file-like objects do not support.
+ For example, `pygments.highlight()` will return a Unicode string if
+ called with no `outfile` argument and a formatter that has `encoding`
+ set to ``None`` because it uses a `StringIO.StringIO` object that
+ supports Unicode arguments to `write()`. Using a regular file object
+ wouldn't work.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 0.6
+
+`outencoding`
+ When using Pygments from the command line, any `encoding` option given is
+ passed to the lexer and the formatter. This is sometimes not desirable,
+ for example if you want to set the input encoding to ``"guess"``.
+ Therefore, `outencoding` has been introduced which overrides `encoding`
+ for the formatter if given.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 0.7
+
+
+Formatter classes
+=================
+
+All these classes are importable from :mod:`pygments.formatters`.
