This directory contains the LaTeX source to the Python documentation.
It is not all finished, but good enough to get you started.
1991-01-25 09:29:53 -04:00
The following are the LaTeX source files:
1991-01-25 09:29:53 -04:00
tut.tex The tutorial
1991-11-12 11:40:23 -04:00
lib.tex, lib[1-5].tex The library reference
ref.tex The reference manual
qua.tex, quabib.bib Article published in CWI Quarterly
1991-01-25 09:29:53 -04:00
All except qua.tex use the style option file "myformat.sty". This
1992-03-06 06:56:17 -04:00
contains some macro definitions and sets style parameters. You can
easily edit it to change the paper size (the default is European
paper, "A4": 21 x 29.7 cm).
There's a Makefile to call latex and other utilities (makeindex and
bibtex) in the right order and the right number of times. This will
produce dvi files for each document made; to preview them, use xdvi.
Printing depends on local conventions; at my site, I use dvips and
lpr. For example:
make ref # creates ref.dvi
xdvi ref # preview it
dvips -Ppsc ref | lpr -Ppsc # print it on printer "psc".
