# ==========

# ::

"""

A front end to the Docutils Publisher, producing PDF.

Produces a latex file with the "latex" writer and converts

it to PDF with the "rubber" building system for LaTeX documents. 

"""

# ``rst2pdf.py`` is a PDF front-end for docutils that is compatible

# with the ``rst2*.py`` front ends of the docutils_ suite.

# It enables the generation of PDF documents from a reStructuredText source in

# one step.

# 

# It is implemented as a combination of docutils' ``rst2latex.py`` 

# by David Goodger and rubber_ by Emmanuel Beffara.

# Generate the latex file

# =======================

# 

# We need to replace the <destination> by a intermediate latex file path.

# The most reliable way to get the value of <destination> is to 

# call the Publisher "by hand", and query its settings. 

# 

# Modeled on the publish_cmdline() function of docutils.core

# 

# Default values::

reader=None

reader_name='standalone'

parser=None

parser_name='restructuredtext'

writer=None

writer_name='pseudoxml'

settings=None

settings_spec=None

settings_overrides=None

config_section=None

enable_exit_status=1

argv=None

usage=default_usage

description=default_description

# Argument values given to publish_cmdline() in rst2latex.py::

description = ('Generates PDF documents from standalone reStructuredText '

               'sources using the "latex" Writer and the "rubber" '

               'building system for LaTeX documents.  ' + default_description)

writer_name = 'latex'

# Set up the publisher::

pub = Publisher(reader, parser, writer, settings=settings)

pub.set_components(reader_name, parser_name, writer_name)

# Parse the command line args 

# (Publisher.publish does this in a try statement)::

pub.process_command_line(argv, usage, description, settings_spec, 

                         config_section, **(settings_overrides or {}))

# pprint(pub.settings.__dict__)

# Get source and destination path::

source = pub.settings._source

destination = pub.settings._destination

# print source, destination

# Generate names for the temporary files and set ``destination`` to temporary

# latex file:

# 

# make_name() from rubber.cmd_pipe checks that no existing file is

# overwritten. If we are going to support rubbers ``--inplace`` and ``--into``

# options, the chdir() must occure before this point to have the check in the

# right directory. ::

tmppath = rubber.cmd_pipe.make_name()

texpath = tmppath + ".tex"

pdfpath = tmppath + ".pdf"

pub.settings._destination = texpath

# Now do the rst -> latex conversion::

            config_section=config_section, enable_exit_status=enable_exit_status)

# Generating the PDF document with rubber

# =======================================

# 

# 

# rubber_ has no documentet API for programmatic use. We simualate a command

# line call and pass command line arguments (see man: rubber-pipe) in an array::

rubber_argv = ["--pdf",    # use pdflatex to produce PDF

               "--short",   # Display LaTeX’s error messages one error per line.

               texpath

              ]

# Get a TeX processing class instance and do the latex->pdf conversion::

tex_processor = rubber.cmdline.Main()

tex_processor(rubber_argv)

# Rename output to _destination or print to stdout::

if destination is None:

    pdffile = file(pdfpath)

    print  pdffile.read()

    pdffile.close()

else:

    os.rename(pdfpath, destination)

# Clean up (remove intermediate files)

# 

# ::

tex_processor(["--clean"] + rubber_argv)

os.remove(texpath)
