Fred Drake 2c813818c8 Clean up some markup. 2002-06-27 18:30:34 +00:00
Fred Drake fd7f115a0e Fix wrongly-named formal parameters in three places: begin_y was used twice
instead of begin_y and begin_x for derwin(), subpad(), and subwin().
Reported for derwin() by Eric Huss.

Added class annotations for the window methods so they would be properly
described in the index.

Fred Drake c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

Fred Drake 91f2f26d75 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

Fred Drake 2e06c209dc Revise the versioning information to say that this was revised in 1.6,
not added then, and note what the change was (ncurses, change to a package).

Fred Drake 1bf4e93180 Convert the longest two tables from tableii to longtableii so they do not

entry point descriptions.
2000-07-24 03:28:40 +00:00
Thomas Wouters f8316638af Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope
SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)

I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.

Andrew M. Kuchling d24ff44f06 Document .timeout() method and .typeahead() function 2000-06-21 01:42:51 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling f1dc5fa2c8 Updated docs to list all the new methods and functions. The docs are
now complete, but probably still not very helpful or friendly.

Note: two very large tables (of key names, and of character names) were
added; these tables format terribly, and need some reworking.

border() using a table instead of text for ease of comprehension.

Fred Drake a4070cef5e Preliminary documentation for the curses module by Moshe Zadka, with
lots of markup fixes and some English nits fixed.

Still needs real review.  Some of the function signatures used in this
module are really bad!  (Two leading optional parameters? Ugh!)
