+
+Extending syntax with roles and directives
+==========================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The syntax of both reStructuredText and MyST can be extended
+by creating new **directives** - for block-level elements -
+and **roles** - for inline elements.
+
+In this tutorial we shall extend Sphinx to add:
+
+* A ``hello`` role, that will simply output the text ``Hello {text}!``.
+* A ``hello`` directive, that will simply output the text ``Hello {text}!``,
+ as a paragraph.
+
+For this extension, you will need some basic understanding of Python,
+and we shall also introduce aspects of the docutils_ API.
+
+Setting up the project
+----------------------
+
+You can either use an existing Sphinx project
+or create a new one using :program:`sphinx-quickstart`.
+
+With this we will add the extension to the project,
+within the :file:`source` folder:
+
+#. Create an :file:`_ext` folder in :file:`source`
+#. Create a new Python file in the :file:`_ext` folder called
+ :file:`helloworld.py`
+
+Here is an example of the folder structure you might obtain:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ └── source
+    ├── _ext
+ │   └── helloworld.py
+    ├── conf.py
+    ├── index.rst
+
+
+Writing the extension
+---------------------
+
+Open :file:`helloworld.py` and paste the following code in it:
+
+.. literalinclude:: examples/helloworld.py
+ :language: python
+ :linenos:
+
+Some essential things are happening in this example:
+
+The role class
+...............
+
+Our new role is declared in the ``HelloRole`` class.
+
+.. literalinclude:: examples/helloworld.py
+ :language: python
+ :linenos:
+ :pyobject: HelloRole
+
+This class extends the :class:`.SphinxRole` class.
+The class contains a ``run`` method,
+which is a requirement for every role.
+It contains the main logic of the role and it
+returns a tuple containing:
+
+- a list of inline-level docutils nodes to be processed by Sphinx.
+- an (optional) list of system message nodes
+
+The directive class
+...................
+
+Our new directive is declared in the ``HelloDirective`` class.
+
+.. literalinclude:: examples/helloworld.py
+ :language: python
+ :linenos:
+ :pyobject: HelloDirective
+
+This class extends the :class:`.SphinxDirective` class.
+The class contains a ``run`` method,
+which is a requirement for every directive.
+It contains the main logic of the directive and it
+returns a list of block-level docutils nodes to be processed by Sphinx.
+It also contains a ``required_arguments`` attribute,
+which tells Sphinx how many arguments are required for the directive.
+
+What are docutils nodes?
+........................
+
+When Sphinx parses a document,
+it creates an "Abstract Syntax Tree" (AST) of nodes
+that represent the content of the document in a structured way,
+that is generally independent of any one
+input (rST, MyST, etc) or output (HTML, LaTeX, etc) format.
+It is a tree because each node can have children nodes, and so on:
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+ <document>
+ <paragraph>
+ <text>
+ Hello world!
+
+The docutils_ package provides many `built-in nodes <docutils nodes_>`_,
+to represent different types of content such as
+text, paragraphs, references, tables, etc.
+
+Each node type generally only accepts a specific set of direct child nodes,
+for example the ``document`` node should only contain "block-level" nodes,
+such as ``paragraph``, ``section``, ``table``, etc,
+whilst the ``paragraph`` node should only contain "inline-level" nodes,
+such as ``text``, ``emphasis``, ``strong``, etc.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ The docutils documentation on
+ `creating directives <docutils directives_>`_, and
+ `creating roles <docutils roles_>`_.
+
+The ``setup`` function
+......................
+
+This function is a requirement.
+We use it to plug our new directive into Sphinx.
+
+.. literalinclude:: examples/helloworld.py
+ :language: python
+ :pyobject: setup
+
+The simplest thing you can do is to call the
+:meth:`.Sphinx.add_role` and :meth:`.Sphinx.add_directive` methods,
+which is what we've done here.
+For this particular call, the first argument is the name of the role/directive itself
+as used in a reStructuredText file.
+In this case, we would use ``hello``. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: rst
+
+ Some intro text here...
+
+ .. hello:: world
+
+ Some text with a :hello:`world` role.
+
+We also return the :ref:`extension metadata <ext-metadata>` that indicates the
+version of our extension, along with the fact that it is safe to use the
+extension for both parallel reading and writing.
+
+Using the extension
+-------------------
+
+The extension has to be declared in your :file:`conf.py` file to make Sphinx
+aware of it. There are two steps necessary here:
+
+#. Add the :file:`_ext` directory to the `Python path`_ using
+ ``sys.path.append``. This should be placed at the top of the file.
+
+#. Update or create the :confval:`extensions` list and add the extension file
+ name to the list
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import os
+ import sys
+
+ sys.path.append(os.path.abspath("./_ext"))
+
+ extensions = ['helloworld']
+
+.. tip::
+
+ Because we haven't installed our extension as a `Python package`_, we need to
+ modify the `Python path`_ so Sphinx can find our extension. This is why we
+ need the call to ``sys.path.append``.
+
+You can now use the extension in a file. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: rst
+
+ Some intro text here...
+
+ .. hello:: world
+
+ Some text with a :hello:`world` role.
+
+The sample above would generate:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ Some intro text here...
+
+ Hello world!
+
+ Some text with a hello world! role.
+
+
+Further reading
+---------------
+
+This is the very basic principle of an extension

-Developing a "Hello world" extension
-====================================
-
-The objective of this tutorial is to create a very basic extension that adds a
-new directive. This directive will output a paragraph containing "hello world".
-
-Only basic information is provided in this tutorial. For more information, refer
-to the :doc:`other tutorials <index>` that go into more details.
-
-.. warning::
-
- For this extension, you will need some basic understanding of docutils_
- and Python.
-
-
-Overview
---------
-
-We want the extension to add the following to Sphinx:
-
-* A ``helloworld`` directive, that will simply output the text "hello world".
-
-
-Prerequisites
--------------
-
-We will not be distributing this plugin via `PyPI`_ and will instead include it
-as part of an existing project. This means you will need to use an existing
-project or create a new one using :program:`sphinx-quickstart`.
-
-We assume you are using separate source (:file:`source`) and build
-(:file:`build`) folders. Your extension file could be in any folder of your
-project. In our case, let's do the following:
-
-#. Create an :file:`_ext` folder in :file:`source`
-#. Create a new Python file in the :file:`_ext` folder called
- :file:`helloworld.py`
-
-Here is an example of the folder structure you might obtain:
-
-.. code-block:: text
-
- └── source
-    ├── _ext
- │   └── helloworld.py
-    ├── _static
-    ├── conf.py
-    ├── somefolder
-    ├── index.rst
-    ├── somefile.rst
-    └── someotherfile.rst
-
-
-Writing the extension
----------------------
-
-Open :file:`helloworld.py` and paste the following code in it:
-
-.. literalinclude:: examples/helloworld.py
- :language: python
- :linenos:
-
-Some essential things are happening in this example, and you will see them for
-all directives.
-
-.. rubric:: The directive class
-
-Our new directive is declared in the ``HelloWorld`` class.
-
-.. literalinclude:: examples/helloworld.py
- :language: python
- :linenos:
- :lines: 5-9
-
-This class extends the docutils_' ``Directive`` class. All extensions that
-create directives should extend this class.
-
-.. seealso::
-
- `The docutils documentation on creating directives <docutils directives_>`_
-
-This class contains a ``run`` method. This method is a requirement and it is
-part of every directive. It contains the main logic of the directive and it
-returns a list of docutils nodes to be processed by Sphinx. These nodes are
-docutils' way of representing the content of a document. There are many types of
-nodes available: text, paragraph, reference, table, etc.
-
-.. seealso::
-
- `The docutils documentation on nodes <docutils nodes_>`_
-
-The ``nodes.paragraph`` class creates a new paragraph node. A paragraph
-node typically contains some text that we can set during instantiation using
-the ``text`` parameter.
-
-.. rubric:: The ``setup`` function
-
-.. currentmodule:: sphinx.application
-
-This function is a requirement. We use it to plug our new directive into
-Sphinx.
-
-.. literalinclude:: examples/helloworld.py
- :language: python
- :linenos:
- :lines: 12-
-
-The simplest thing you can do is to call the :meth:`~Sphinx.add_directive` method,
-which is what we've done here. For this particular call, the first argument is
-the name of the directive itself as used in a reST file. In this case, we would
-use ``helloworld``. For example:
-
-.. code-block:: rst
-
- Some intro text here...
-
- .. helloworld::
-
- Some more text here...
-
-We also return the :ref:`extension metadata <ext-metadata>` that indicates the
-version of our extension, along with the fact that it is safe to use the
-extension for both parallel reading and writing.
-
-
-Using the extension
--------------------
-
-The extension has to be declared in your :file:`conf.py` file to make Sphinx
-aware of it. There are two steps necessary here:
-
-#. Add the :file:`_ext` directory to the `Python path`_ using
- ``sys.path.append``. This should be placed at the top of the file.
-
-#. Update or create the :confval:`extensions` list and add the extension file
- name to the list
-
-For example:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
- import os
- import sys
-
- sys.path.append(os.path.abspath("./_ext"))
-
- extensions = ['helloworld']
-
-.. tip::
-
- We're not distributing this extension as a `Python package`_, we need to
- modify the `Python path`_ so Sphinx can find our extension. This is why we
- need the call to ``sys.path.append``.
-
-You can now use the extension in a file. For example:
-
-.. code-block:: rst
-
- Some intro text here...
-
- .. helloworld::
-
- Some more text here...
-
-The sample above would generate:
-
-.. code-block:: text
-
- Some intro text here...
-
- Hello World!
-
- Some more text here...
-
-
-Further reading
----------------
-
-This is the very basic principle of an extension that creates a new directive.

-For a more advanced example, refer to :doc:`todo`.
