Generator source

scripts/gen_font_emphasis_mark.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Generate a ``fixtures/docx/font-emphasis-mark--<mark>.docx`` fixture.

Parameterised generator for the ``docx/font-emphasis-mark`` feature
family. One invocation writes a single fixture with a single run
carrying a ``<w:em w:val="..."/>`` on its ``<w:rPr>``. python-docx has
no high-level API for emphasis marks, so this generator reaches down
to :class:`docx.oxml.OxmlElement` to append the element directly.

Usage::

    python scripts/gen_font_emphasis_mark.py \\
        --mark underDot \\
        --out fixtures/docx/font-emphasis-mark--underdot.docx

``--mark`` is one of the ST_Em enumerants: ``none``, ``dot``,
``comma``, ``circle``, ``underDot``.

Spec notes

<w:em w:val="..."/> on a run's rPr selects an emphasis mark, a small glyph drawn above each character (CJK convention, also used elsewhere). ST_Em enumerates 'none', 'dot', 'comma', 'circle', 'underDot'. python-docx has no high-level API for w:em, so this generator writes the element directly via OxmlElement.
