adparser 0.1.0
The adparser library for Python provides powerful capabilities for
working with AsciiDoc documents. In this Quick Start, you’ll learn how
to use the library’s main functions to extract various elements from an
AsciiDoc document.
Installation
Install the asciidoc library using pip:
pip install adparser
It is also necessary that asciidoctor is preinstalled in the system.
You can find out how to do this by following the link
https://asciidoctor.org/#installation . Before using the library, make
sure that the asciidoctor path is in the PATH.
Extracting Document Elements
The asciidoc library can extract the following elements from an AsciiDoc
document:
text lines - the paragraph element are made up of it
link
paragraphs
headings
lists
source blocks
tables
audio, video, and images.
To access these elements, you can use the Parser object.
Parser object
To start parsing, we need to create Parser object:
from adparser import Parser
my_file = open("test.adoc")
parser = Parser(my_file)
Parser methods
To work with each of the document elements described above, the Parser
object has its own methods:
text_lines()
links()
paragraphs()
headings
lists
source_blocks()
tables()
audios()
images()
videos()
Example
test.adoc
= Document Title
This is a paragraph.
== Section 1
This is another paragraph.
[source,python]
print("Hello, World!")
[NOTE]
This is a note.

>>> from adparser import Parser
... my_file = open("test.adoc")
... parser = Parser(my_file)
>>> for docelem in parser.headings():
... print(docelem.data)
'Document Title'
'Section 1'
>>> for docelem in parser.source_blocks():
... print(docelem.data)
... print(docelem.styles)
'print("Hello, World!")'
['listingblock', 'python']
The functions return an iterators for the objects-elements of the
document. They store the following attributes:
data: The data associated with the element. Usually text, but in the
case of tables, you can get a dictionary (see the example at the end
of the readme).
section: List of sections of the document the element belongs to
styles: List of styles of the object
attribute (only for links): text of the link
List of styles:
text_line
italic
bold
monospace
source
source languages
for all elements admonition styles
note
tip
caution
warning
for all elements area style
sidebarblock
exampleblock
quoteblock
listningblock
literalblock
You can get the text from the paragraph object only through the
get_text() method. It has a url_opt parameter.
url_opt can be:
'show_urls'
'hide_urls'
This option can hide the url of a link ,hyperlink, media src(image,
audio, video) or show it. The default is 'hide_urls'
test.adoc
= Document Title
You can also use https://www.macports.org[MacPorts], another package manager for macOS, to install Asciidoctor.
If you dont have MacPorts on your computer, complete the https://www.macports.org/install.php[installation instructions] first.
>>> from adparser import Parser
... my_file = open("test.adoc")
... parser = Parser(my_file)
>>> for docelem in parser.paragraphs():
... print(docelem.get_text())
'You can also use MacPorts, another package manager for macOS, to install Asciidoctor.'
'If you dont have MacPorts on your computer, complete the installation instructions first.'
>>> for docelem in parser.paragraphs():
... print(docelem.get_text('show_urls'))
'You can also use https://www.macports.org[MacPorts], another package manager for macOS, to install Asciidoctor.'
'If you dont have MacPorts on your computer, complete the https://www.macports.org/install.php[installation instructions] first.'
You can set a named style and section parameters for Parser
methods for a more accurate selection.
test.adoc
= Document Title
== Python
[source,python]
print("Hello, World!")
== C++
[source,cpp]
std::cout << "Hello, World!";
>>> from adparser import Parser
... my_file = open("test.adoc")
... parser = Parser(my_file)
>>> for docelem in parser.source_blocks(['cpp']):
... print(docelem.data)
... print(docelem.styles)
'std::cout << "Hello, World!";'
['listingblock', 'cpp']
>>> for docelem in parser.source_blocks([], ['Python']):
... print(docelem.data)
'print("Hello, World!")'
Styles and sections are filtered by passing lists. They store the
necessary styles or sections. The selection takes place for objects
whose style and section attributes have elements of the passed lists as
a subset.
If you pass the list of sections ['C', 'Python'] in the example above,
nothing will be output, because there is no code object that is both in
the C section and in the Python section.
Features of working with the parser:
The level 0 section can only be 1 (and it must exist)
Only the text is extracted from the tables and lists
Nested tables cannot be used
How get tables:
test.adoc
= Document Title
[cols="1,1"]
|===
|Cell in column 1, row 1
|Cell in column 2, row 1
|Cell in column 1, row 2
|Cell in column 2, row 2
|Cell in column 1, row 3
|Cell in column 2, row 3
|===
The table objects also have the data attribute which stores the
dictionary
>>> from adparser import Parser
... my_file = open("test.adoc")
... parser = Parser(my_file)
>>> elemiter = parser.tables()
>>> elemiter = next(elemiter)
>>> print(elemiter.data)
{'col1':['Cell in column 1, row 1', 'Cell in column 1, row 2', 'Cell in column 1, row 3'], 'col2':['Cell in column 2, row 1', 'Cell in column 2, row 2', 'Cell in column 2, row 3']}
Keys with the names "col1" and "col2" were automatically created
Using the to_dict() and to_matrix() methods, you can change
the data attribute to a dictionary or matrix, respectively
test1.adoc
[cols="1,1,1,1"]
|===
|Column 1 |Column 2 |Column 3 |Column 4
|Cell in column 1
|Cell in column 2
|Cell in column 3
|Cell in column 4
|===
>>> from adparser import Parser
... my_file = open("test1.adoc")
... parser = Parser(my_file)
>>> elemiter = parser.tables()
>>> elemiter = next(elemiter)
>>> print(elemiter.data["Column 1"])
["Cell in column 1"]
>>> elemiter.to_matrix()
>>> print(elemiter.data[0][0])
'Column 1'
>>> print(elemiter.data[0][1])
'Cell in column 1'
The first element in the column becomes the column name (in matrix)
get_near() method
To access the closest element to the current one, there is method
get_near. The accepted parameters are a string with the name of the
required element and a string with the direction: 'up' or 'down'.
test.adoc
= Document Title
This is a paragraph.
== Section 1
This is another paragraph.
[source,python]
print("Hello, World!")

>>> from adparser import Parser
... my_file = open("test.adoc")
... parser = Parser(my_file)
>>> for docelem in parser.source_blocks():
... up_heading = docelem.get_near("heading", direction='up')
... print(up_heading.data)
... down_image = docelem.get_near("image", direction='down')
... print(down_image.data)
'Section 1'
'image.png'
test2.adoc
= Document Title
=====
Here's a sample AsciiDoc document:
-----
= Document Title
Content goes here.
-----
The document header is useful, but not required.
=====
>>> from adparser import Parser
... my_file = open("test2.adoc")
... parser = Parser(my_file)
>>> for docelem in parser.paragraphs(style=['listingblock']):
... up_heading = docelem.get_near("paragraph", direction='up')
... print(up_heading.get_text())
'Here’s a sample AsciiDoc document:'
