## Author reusable documents with Python components

Fullbleed's stable Python API lets you compose ordinary functions, nested
children and repeated data without writing HTML tags. The
[Python quickstart](../getting-started/quickstart.md) includes complete component
and HTML/CSS versions of the same small invoice. `class_name` attaches literal
CSS classes; `Document(styles=...)` supplies their rules.

For components with reusable style defaults, tables defined by columns, and
repeating page headers or footers, try the separately installed
[2.6.0a11 preview](component-preview-11.md). Its
[editable styling tutorial](../getting-started/component-styling.md) demonstrates
reusable defaults, root overrides, classes, named parts and theme values in a
complete report. Export the component tree as PDF, styled HTML or unstyled HTML.
This preview remains experimental; its browser exports use static content.
