====================
Available formatters
====================
This page lists all builtin formatters.
Common options
==============
All formatters support these options:
`encoding`
*New in Pygments 0.6.*
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.
`outencoding`
*New in Pygments 0.7.*
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.
Formatter classes
=================
All these classes are importable from `pygments.formatters`.
