l2hinit.perl version of the function (which
overrode a version in latex2html), but
do_cmd_index() was overridden. Since
do_cmd_index() was the only caller, we can trash
this.
define_indexing_macro(): New function used during setup to support
more dynamic dispatch for indexing.
process_index_macros(): New function; implement dynamic dispatching
of indexing support functions, allowing many
targets used in indexing to be shared by
multiple index entries. I.e., something like
\index{foo}\bifuncindex{bar} can now share a
single target anchor.
These indexing changes reduce the amount of clutter in the generated
HTML files. In the reference manual, this cuts the number of targets
by 44%. Targets are less affected when generated by environments
rather than macros.
fixes a rendering problem on IE5.
General adjustments to the table* environments, including using
<thead> and <tbody>. Attempt to adjust the vertical alignment of the
table cells so that the baseline of the first cell matches the
baseline of the remaining cells: When the first cell is small and the
second cell of the same row is multi-line, the first cell was
vertically centered by default. Specifying valign=baseline fixes the
problem on IE, but Netscape seems to ignore both valign=top and
valign=baseline (even though valign is NS's fault!). Make the
horizontal alignment of 'p' columns left instead of center (for the
headings).
"blank" navigation icons, use ALT="" instead of ALT="blank"; also add
ALIGN=CENTER for the table, to get a slightly better affect in the
text (the table is full-width, so this doesn't change the appearance
when browsing the HTML).
sites.
do_cmd_ignorePlatformAnnotation(),
do_cmd_platform(),
do_cmd_platformof(): New functions to support platform dependency
information.
process_all_platformofs(): New function to post-process \platformof macros
using information collected during the initial pass.
process_python_state(): New function. Call all post-processing functions
defined in this file to avoid having to have too much knowledge of
the internals for this stuff in l2hinit.perl.
Make sure the contents page always has the "table of child links"
turned off; this wasn't being handled properly by latex2html for
"howto" ("article") documents, so just do it ourselves for all
document types.
out a little better.
Make sure the boxes for the last column of tables always get drawn;
these are often left empty of content when used as a "Notes" column.
They look a little better this way.
the subitem text is updated correctly when each module section is
processed.
Print [<modulename>] when we start on \declaremodule so we can more
easily track progress during the library reference.
Change the message printed before running buildindex.py;
"Doing the index..." wasn't clear and could be misinterpreted
with an inappropriate mindset. ;-)
data file used by buildindex.py.
next_argument_id(): Removed; no longer used.
next_argument(): Doesn't use next_argument_id(), just does the work.
gen_target(), gen_target_name(): Removed, no longer used. The only
place that used them now does the (trivial) work directly.
Lots of little changes so we never have to pass around $br_id values
all over the place. The only places they're used now new IDs are
generated as needed.
Include an additional button to the module index in the nav. bars if we
generate a module index. Still need a button image, but the ALT text should
do for now.
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.
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.

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).

ArabictoRoman(): Acquired function from Robert Donohue
<donahue@cfassp48.harvard.edu>; might be useful someday, and I don't
want to figure it out again!
left to the buildindex.py script.
Change the field separator used in the index.dat file so utilities like grep
are useful on these files; they can't typically handle NUL bytes.
Protect index entries for environment variables from being handled as
case-insensitive by buildindex.py.
special markup for the first column of a table using {tableii} or {tableiii}.
In LaTeX, this requires using "textrm" as the formatting function, and this
is needed to remove the bogus "<textrm>" that gets generated otherwise.
There should probably be a more general mapping of specified markup to useful
markup, but that doesn't appear needed at the moment.
do_env_tableii(), do_env_tableiii(): If the markup for the first column is
\textrm, make it empty.
do_cmd_lineii(), do_cmd_lineiii(): If the markup for the first column is
empty, don't add markup around the text.
Implemented some new features of python.sty for methods & members.
Fixed some bugs.
Cleaned up some perl code and made some basic regular expressions more robust.
order. LaTeX2HTML just doesn't do things the same way as LaTeX, and this
wasn't the fix.
Simplify the generated HTML for \file{}.
For \samp{}, use "..." instead of `...'; many fonts make that look pretty
bad. ;-(
now requires LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 or newer (& and is still in progress).
This means that doing things to change the formatting of the manuals (at the
"normal user" level, like A4 paper), can happen in just one place, rather
than in each document file.
