Sphinx core events
------------------
-These events are known to the core. The arguments shown are given to the
-registered event handlers. Use :meth:`.Sphinx.connect` in an extension's
-``setup`` function (note that ``conf.py`` can also have a ``setup`` function) to
-connect handlers to the events. Example:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
- def source_read_handler(app, docname, source):
- print('do something here...')
-
- def setup(app):
- app.connect('source-read', source_read_handler)
-
-
-Below is an overview of each event that happens during a build. In the list
-below, we include the event name, its callback parameters, and the input and output
-type for that event:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- 1. event.config-inited(app,config)
- 2. event.builder-inited(app)
- 3. event.env-get-outdated(app, env, added, changed, removed)
- 4. event.env-before-read-docs(app, env, docnames)
-
- for docname in docnames:
- 5. event.env-purge-doc(app, env, docname)
-
- if doc changed and not removed:
- 6. source-read(app, docname, source)
- 7. run source parsers: text -> docutils.document
- - parsers can be added with the app.add_source_parser() API
- 8. apply transforms based on priority: docutils.document -> docutils.document
- - event.doctree-read(app, doctree) is called in the middle of transforms,
- transforms come before/after this event depending on their priority.
-
- 9. event.env-merge-info(app, env, docnames, other)
- - if running in parallel mode, this event will be emitted for each process
-
- 10. event.env-updated(app, env)
- 11. event.env-get-updated(app, env)
- 12. event.env-check-consistency(app, env)
-
- # The updated-docs list can be builder dependent, but generally includes all new/changed documents,
- # plus any output from `env-get-updated`, and then all "parent" documents in the ToC tree
- # For builders that output a single page, they are first joined into a single doctree before post-transforms
- # or the doctree-resolved event is emitted
- for docname in updated-docs:
- 13. apply post-transforms (by priority): docutils.document -> docutils.document
- 14. event.doctree-resolved(app, doctree, docname)
- - In the event that any reference nodes fail to resolve, the following may emit:
- - event.missing-reference(env, node, contnode)
- - event.warn-missing-reference(domain, node)
-
- 15. Generate output files
- 16. event.build-finished(app, exception)
-
-Here is a more detailed list of these events.
-
-.. event:: builder-inited (app)
-
- Emitted when the builder object has been created. It is available as
- ``app.builder``.
-
-.. event:: config-inited (app, config)
-
- Emitted when the config object has been initialized.
-
- .. versionadded:: 1.8
-
-.. event:: env-get-outdated (app, env, added, changed, removed)
-
- Emitted when the environment determines which source files have changed and
- should be re-read. *added*, *changed* and *removed* are sets of docnames
- that the environment has determined. You can return a list of docnames to
- re-read in addition to these.
-
- .. versionadded:: 1.1
-
-.. event:: env-purge-doc (app, env, docname)
-
- Emitted when all traces of a source file should be cleaned from the
- environment, that is, if the source file is removed or before it is freshly
- read. This is for extensions that keep their own caches in attributes of the
- environment.
-
- For example, there is a cache of all modules on the environment. When a
- source file has been changed, the cache's entries for the file are cleared,
- since the module declarations could have been removed from the file.
-
- .. versionadded:: 0.5
-
-.. event:: env-before-read-docs (app, env, docnames)
-
- Emitted after the environment has determined the list of all added and
- changed files and just before it reads them. It allows extension authors to
- reorder the list of docnames (*inplace*) before processing, or add more
- docnames that Sphinx did not consider changed (but never add any docnames
- that are not in ``env.found_docs``).
-
- You can also remove document names; do this with caution since it will make
- Sphinx treat changed files as unchanged.
-
- .. versionadded:: 1.3
-
-.. event:: source-read (app, docname, source)
-
- Emitted when a source file has been read. The *source* argument is a list
- whose single element is the contents of the source file. You can process the
- contents and replace this item to implement source-level transformations.
-
- For example, if you want to use ``$`` signs to delimit inline math, like in
- LaTeX, you can use a regular expression to replace ``$...$`` by
- ``:math:`...```.
-
- .. versionadded:: 0.5
-
-.. event:: include-read (app, relative_path, parent_docname, content)
-
- Emitted when a file has been read with the :dudir:`include` directive.
- The *relative_path* argument is a :py:class:`~pathlib.Path` object representing
- the relative path of the included file from the :term:`source directory`.
- The *parent_docname* argument is the name of the document that
- contains the :dudir:`include` directive.
- The *source* argument is a list whose single element is
- the contents of the included file.
- You can process the contents and replace this item
- to transform the included content,
- as with the :event:`source-read` event.
-
- .. versionadded:: 7.2.5
-
- .. seealso:: The :dudir:`include` directive and the :event:`source-read` event.
-
-.. event:: object-description-transform (app, domain, objtype, contentnode)
-
- Emitted when an object description directive has run. The *domain* and
- *objtype* arguments are strings indicating object description of the object.
- And *contentnode* is a content for the object. It can be modified in-place.
-
- .. versionadded:: 2.4
-
-.. event:: doctree-read (app, doctree)
-
- Emitted when a doctree has been parsed and read by the environment, and is
- about to be pickled. The *doctree* can be modified in-place.
-
-.. event:: missing-reference (app, env, node, contnode)
-
- Emitted when a cross-reference to an object cannot be resolved.
- If the event handler can resolve the reference, it should return a
- new docutils node to be inserted in the document tree in place of the node
- *node*. Usually this node is a :class:`~nodes.reference` node containing
- *contnode* as a child.
- If the handler can not resolve the cross-reference,
- it can either return ``None`` to let other handlers try,
- or raise :class:`~sphinx.errors.NoUri` to prevent other handlers in
- trying and suppress a warning about this cross-reference being unresolved.
-
- :param env: The build environment (``app.builder.env``).
- :param node: The :class:`~sphinx.addnodes.pending_xref` node to be resolved.
- Its ``reftype``, ``reftarget``, ``modname`` and ``classname`` attributes
- determine the type and target of the reference.
- :param contnode: The node that carries the text and formatting inside the
- future reference and should be a child of the returned reference node.
-
- .. versionadded:: 0.5
-
-.. event:: warn-missing-reference (app, domain, node)
-
- Emitted when a cross-reference to an object cannot be resolved even after
- :event:`missing-reference`. If the event handler can emit warnings for
- the missing reference, it should return ``True``. The configuration variables
- :confval:`nitpick_ignore` and :confval:`nitpick_ignore_regex` prevent the
- event from being emitted for the corresponding nodes.
-
- .. versionadded:: 3.4
-
-.. event:: doctree-resolved (app, doctree, docname)
-
- Emitted when a doctree has been "resolved" by the environment, that is, all
- references have been resolved and TOCs have been inserted. The *doctree* can
- be modified in place.
-
- Here is the place to replace custom nodes that don't have visitor methods in
- the writers, so that they don't cause errors when the writers encounter them.
-
-.. event:: env-merge-info (app, env, docnames, other)
-
- This event is only emitted when parallel reading of documents is enabled. It
- is emitted once for every subprocess that has read some documents.
-
- You must handle this event in an extension that stores data in the
- environment in a custom location. Otherwise the environment in the main
- process will not be aware of the information stored in the subprocess.
-
- *other* is the environment object from the subprocess, *env* is the
- environment from the main process. *docnames* is a set of document names
- that have been read in the subprocess.
-
- .. versionadded:: 1.3
-
-.. event:: env-updated (app, env)
-
- Emitted after reading all documents, when the environment and all
- doctrees are now up-to-date.
-
- You can return an iterable of docnames from the handler. These documents
- will then be considered updated, and will be (re-)written during the writing
- phase.
-
- .. versionadded:: 0.5
-
- .. versionchanged:: 1.3
- The handlers' return value is now used.
-
-.. event:: env-check-consistency (app, env)
-
- Emitted when Consistency checks phase. You can check consistency of
- metadata for whole of documents.
-
- .. versionadded:: 1.6
-
- As a **experimental** event
-
-.. event:: html-collect-pages (app)
-
- Emitted when the HTML builder is starting to write non-document pages. You
- can add pages to write by returning an iterable from this event consisting of
- ``(pagename, context, templatename)``.
-
- .. versionadded:: 1.0
-
-.. event:: html-page-context (app, pagename, templatename, context, doctree)
-
- Emitted when the HTML builder has created a context dictionary to render a
- template with -- this can be used to add custom elements to the context.
-
- The *pagename* argument is the canonical name of the page being rendered,
- that is, without ``.html`` suffix and using slashes as path separators. The
- *templatename* is the name of the template to render, this will be
- ``'page.html'`` for all pages from reST documents.
-
- The *context* argument is a dictionary of values that are given to the
- template engine to render the page and can be modified to include custom
- values. Keys must be strings.
-
- The *doctree* argument will be a doctree when the page is created from a reST
- documents; it will be ``None`` when the page is created from an HTML template
- alone.
-
- You can return a string from the handler, it will then replace
- ``'page.html'`` as the HTML template for this page.
-
- .. note:: You can install JS/CSS files for the specific page via
- :meth:`Sphinx.add_js_file` and :meth:`Sphinx.add_css_file` since
- v3.5.0.
-
- .. versionadded:: 0.4
-
- .. versionchanged:: 1.3
- The return value can now specify a template name.
-
-.. event:: linkcheck-process-uri (app, uri)
-
- Emitted when the linkcheck builder collects hyperlinks from document. *uri*
- is a collected URI. The event handlers can modify the URI by returning a
- string.
-
- .. versionadded:: 4.1
-
-.. event:: build-finished (app, exception)
-
- Emitted when a build has finished, before Sphinx exits, usually used for
- cleanup. This event is emitted even when the build process raised an
- exception, given as the *exception* argument. The exception is reraised in
- the application after the event handlers have run. If the build process
- raised no exception, *exception* will be ``None``. This allows to customize
- cleanup actions depending on the exception status.
-
- .. versionadded:: 0.5
-
+.. note:: Moved to :ref:`events`.
