CssSection

class CssSection(**kwargs)

Defines a part of a CSS document.

Because sections are nested into one another, you can use get_parent to get the containing region.

classmethod new_with_bytes(file: File | None, bytes: Bytes | None, start: CssLocation, end: CssLocation) → CssSection

Creates a new GtkCssSection referring to the section in the given file or the given bytes from the start location to the end location.

Added in version 4.16.

Methods

class CssSection

get_bytes() → Bytes | None

Gets the bytes that section was parsed from.

Added in version 4.16.

get_end_location() → CssLocation

Returns the location in the CSS document where this section ends.

get_file() → File | None

Gets the file that section was parsed from.

If no such file exists, for example because the CSS was loaded via load_from_data, then NULL is returned.

The parent section is the section that contains this section. A special case are sections of type GTK_CSS_SECTION_DOCUMENT. Their parent will either be NULL if they are the original CSS document that was loaded by load_from_file or a section of type GTK_CSS_SECTION_IMPORT if it was loaded with an @import rule from a different file.

get_start_location() → CssLocation

Returns the location in the CSS document where this section starts.

print_(string: String) → None

Parameters:

string

to_string() → str

Prints the section into a human-readable text form using print.
