Guido van Rossum a8a1b9bc65 There's no point in mentioning F6 as an alternate EOF on DOS -- it
doesn't work on modern Windows systems, and Control-Z works
everywhere.
1998-06-22 14:28:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a7874d1505 Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...

Fred Drake 1b0ff2c32f eval() example: Removed final interpreter prompt; other examples don't have
the empty prompt.

Guido van Rossum faac0136f4 # Untabified the example :-( 1998-06-17 22:38:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bca1207ac8 Documented that by default the output goes to stderr, and that a file
keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else.  Also
documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a
little example.

# Haven't tested the latex for correctness -- all latex installations

Guido van Rossum 777dcc6b21 Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to
eval(raw_input(s)).  The statement about breaking a long expression
over multiple lines is no longer true.

Guido van Rossum c85be6a0ff Fix another oldie (item (b) only):
Date:    Fri, 20 Dec 1996 14:47:50 +0100
From:    Lele Gaifax <lele@nautilus.eclipse.it>
To:      Python List <python-list@cwi.nl>
Subject: Typos in ref manual

Hi all,
browsing the reference manual I noticed what seem two small errors:
  a) in the list of keywords (section 2.3.1) 'exec' is missing
  b) in the Operator Precedence table (5.12) the comparison operators
     include '=', but probably '==' was intended.
Hope this help,
lele.
1998-05-16 02:11:10 +00:00
Fred Drake e593b6213a Small change to the l2h target allowing the output dir, $(HTMLDIR), to be
a sibling of the html/ directory in the distribution.
1998-05-15 17:50:32 +00:00
Fred Drake a4565b0796 Update to use latex2html 98.1p5. 1998-05-15 17:14:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 8dbf46a79e Update to use latex2html 98.1p5.
Cleanup temporary files produced by latex2html in the output directory.
1998-05-15 17:13:08 +00:00
Fred Drake e0a0fcd552 Update note about latex2html version required. 1998-05-15 17:03:00 +00:00
Fred Drake cdbd391415 Add support for the Macintosh Library Modules document. 1998-05-15 17:02:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 5b73cdfe60 Revise comment about \let support a little to more accurately reflect the
support that's offered.
1998-05-15 16:59:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 13b1f43851 Ignore the mac/ directory.... 1998-05-15 16:56:44 +00:00
Fred Drake d637406df1 Update to use the output names used by latex2html for the Python Reference
Manual; the old FrameMaker names no longer apply.
1998-05-15 16:18:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 7a4ad0fc83 Extend handling for \let a bit, to also allow \let\something=<character>. We
still don't support things like \let^^M=\something, where ^^M could actually be
any active character.  Print a decent warning if we find one we can't handle.
1998-05-15 13:45:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 8d1b3384c3 Remove debugging echo. 1998-05-15 13:38:21 +00:00
Fred Drake e16f6798ae do_cmd_let(): Simple implementation to allow \let to be used to establish
synonyms for macros.  This supports:

	\let\newname = \oldname
	\let\newname\oldname

This is useful sometimes, and can at least avoid real errors at other times.
1998-05-15 04:28:37 +00:00
Fred Drake d07868ae52 Added support for \developer, \developers, \developersaddress. 1998-05-14 21:00:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 6df93ef9dd Added definitions for \developer, \developers, \developersaddress.
Ask Guido if you really want to know why.  ;-)
1998-05-14 20:56:31 +00:00
Fred Drake df825a10fc Fix the fix to allow the .tex document sources not live in ".". 1998-05-14 20:36:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 25d4e2873c Mostly spurious change to ensure that everyone's version of this picks up the
execute bit.... problem discovered by Guido.
1998-05-14 20:07:10 +00:00
Fred Drake f4fc476885 Don't run tools/toc2bkm.py unless we're building PDF.
Change the way TEXINPUTS gets defined to ensure that the directory containing
the main document file comes before any other dir, to allow documents to have
files that "override" like-named files elsewhere on the search path.  Guido
discovered we needed this.
1998-05-14 20:03:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 5c07d9b028 Updated markup style (got rid of \verb@...@, mostly). 1998-05-14 19:37:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 203b4f1a25 Add an index entry.
Bow to font lock.
1998-05-14 15:16:12 +00:00

Fred Drake e34ab30a3f Switch to .tgz instead of .tar.gz to appease Windows users.
Clean up the clean & clobber targets.
1998-05-11 21:10:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 72dd58d90e Use .tgz instead of .tar.gz for the output file name. 1998-05-11 21:08:39 +00:00
Fred Drake d2af396dd5 Change ignored extension .tar.gz to .tgz. 1998-05-11 21:07:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 2f61cd4dcc Ignore intermediate files. 1998-05-11 21:06:18 +00:00
Fred Drake ba1700c7bb Set the right page size in the PDF output. 1998-05-11 20:42:54 +00:00
Fred Drake d5d473fd5c Add --letter option, similar to --a4. This is a no-op, but can be used from
a Makefile:  mkhowto.sh --$(PAPER).
1998-05-11 20:40:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 8981fdf16e Add the clean, clobber targets here for this directory. 1998-05-11 19:54:57 +00:00
Fred Drake a4c640e142 Reverted the last change; the extra cruft is harmless for formatted versions,
and allows the info to work through this section.
1998-05-11 19:51:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 58ff112e7f Don't be so ugly as to use "set -x" to get the executed commands printed. 1998-05-11 19:06:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 4190fae02a Added a section about documentation for the Mac modules. 1998-05-11 19:05:36 +00:00

Fred Drake 3504952781 Add easy-to-use support for A4 paper. 1998-05-11 19:04:06 +00:00
Fred Drake efad443351 Remove the tarhtml target; not useful from the sub-make. 1998-05-11 18:54:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 29cabd4cd7 Pass the release number to the tools/mktarball.sh script.
Nits.
1998-05-11 18:53:07 +00:00
Fred Drake f2fa1e2afe Accept the release number on the command line instead of hardcoding it. 1998-05-11 18:52:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 323dc70de5 Don't be so ugly as to use "set -x" to get the executed commands printed. 1998-05-11 18:41:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 2e7edb80e3 do_cmd_kwindex(): Re-implement now that \kwindex is used again (ref man). 1998-05-11 18:31:17 +00:00
Fred Drake d69e2c4f33 Update some of the comments.
Update the .tar.gz targets so that they work from the top level.

Reinstate the api, ext, lib, ref, and tut targets.
1998-05-11 18:25:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 41814bc51f In package Override, use the getcwd() function from the Cwd module instead of
the one from Override.pm (part of latex2html).

Absolutize the TEXINPUTS environment variable, since we can't count on
latex2html doing it for us (even though I sent in a patch, and it really
should).
1998-05-11 18:23:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 099b76c3bd Changed some comments.... no longer mention FrameMaker. 1998-05-11 16:31:32 +00:00
Fred Drake b9838d97ad Fix a comment.
Avoid extra level of recursion in the paper-*/ directories.

Added the "info" target to use the subdir.  Partparse, however, is broken
again.
1998-05-08 15:43:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 9447e592d9 No longer needed. 1998-05-08 15:41:23 +00:00
Fred Drake a5d80564af Remove unneeded line. 1998-05-08 15:40:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 02379fab61 Use \ldots, not \dots. The info process doesn't know about \dots. 1998-05-08 15:39:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 8ffa21c7aa Adjust to new file layout. 1998-05-08 15:37:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 47fd8fed7c Move the rules to build the info files here. 1998-05-08 15:36:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 230b530a6a Relocating file to Doc/info. 1998-05-08 15:35:36 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7b0c9d8a07 exec is a statement, not a function! 1998-05-08 13:27:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 445cfd339c l2h target: Do the "right thing" regarding the paper-*/ subdirs as the other
"big" targets.  Fix is to set the TEXINPUTS on the command line of the
	sub-make.
1998-05-08 04:02:42 +00:00
Fred Drake f4166a478a Some versions of latex2html don't automatically append the .tex extension to
the name of the main .tex source file if it's not in the current directory.
1998-05-08 04:00:56 +00:00
Fred Drake df68e3dd6d $(KPSEWHICH): Use the older style of calling kpsewhich with the arg
specifying *which* type of path to search.  This works for both
	teTeX 0.4 and 0.9.  This is what we call portability these days!  ;-)
1998-05-08 03:46:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 4a9129c7e8 /bin/sed works on both Solaris and RedHat Linux; /usr/bin/sed does not. 1998-05-08 03:42:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 566d20951d Oops! Must have deleted a word by accident before the last check-in of this
file; "make" (the 'all' target) became a no-op!

Now works as previously described.
1998-05-08 02:00:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 19c7c84db8 Be a little more robust handling filenames. 1998-05-07 21:20:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 8923c72c8f Ignore the webchecker turd. 1998-05-07 20:13:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a96cca7ec Added the webcheck target here. 1998-05-07 20:00:59 +00:00
Fred Drake f295113f1f Cleaned out some more cruft.
Added some new cruft.

For some of the "big" targets, force things to happen in the "right"
subdirectory, i.e., "make" will build the DVI and PostScript files in the
paper-letter/ directory, and "make PAPER=a4" will build DVI and PostScript
files in the paper-a4/ directory.

Probably still needs some restructuring.
1998-05-07 19:30:16 +00:00
Fred Drake a34f7e6a5d Some cleanup, added clean & clobber targets. 1998-05-07 19:27:40 +00:00
Fred Drake bf332696a1 Add support for a --pdf option to cause a PDF file to be created instead;
most of the processing is the same and has to be done anyway.
1998-05-07 17:28:42 +00:00
Fred Drake f8e4415578 Markup consistency.
Using \input instead of \include to avoid extra .aux files from being
generated.
1998-05-07 17:27:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 47b0ecd580 Small updates. 1998-05-07 16:32:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 0ef1b079a2 Preliminary convenience Makefile. 1998-05-07 15:12:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 106fe12ebf Better go ahead and remove some cruftiness.... 1998-05-07 15:05:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 9cdf08797e Support the new directory structure.
Some targets may be a little raw, but the basic formatting targets are all
tested, primarily for use from the subdirs.  There are probably a few
gotchas, and the paper-*/ directories could use "helper" Makefiles.

Fred Drake b4929a794e Paper size / font size configuration file.

which is a lot shorter than the manual.cls file, and easier to find the
appropriate line.
