Guido van Rossum 125434665b Document the new extensions. 1996-12-31 02:22:14 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f308c0f1fc From reading the source, it turns out that the setkey() method can
take an optional string key, but if key is not given, the method does
nothing!  In the rewrite (see upcoming check-in), I left things this
way, but here I document that this is the case.

Fred Drake 094579e677 (libtime.tex): Merged in changes from Tamito Kajiyama.
(For those watching Python CVS messages:  I checked in all of
	Tamito's other changes, but the mail delivery failed since the
	subject line was too long.  The patch Tamito sent for the
	documentation has been completely merged in.)
1996-12-13 22:09:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 4b3f0312c9 (lib<all sorts of stuff>.tex):
Merged in many typo corrections and fixes to support GNU info
	processing; submitted by Tamito Kajiyama.
1996-12-13 22:04:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 6dc2aae3cd (tut.tex): Normalized all uses of "UNIX" and "{\UNIX}" to use "\UNIX{}",
per usage needed for GNU info processing.  Based on comments from
	Tamito Kajiyama.
1996-12-13 21:56:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 30824246b3 (myformat.sty): Added a note about using \command{} v. {\command} wrt.
GNU info processing.
1996-12-13 21:53:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8d40c843c1 Added quote_plus() and unquote_plus(), to do space/plus substitutions
for form field values.
Also corrected substitution example (the original changed the spelling
of "conolly" to "connolly" :).
1996-12-13 14:48:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d16ddb610a Typos reported by Tamito Kajiyama. 1996-12-13 02:38:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 21be147094 Added remark about time() and sleep()'s subsecond precision.
Added hint about using clock() for benchmarks etc.
Removed non-portable strftime directives and field width, and added a
warning about non-standard features.
1996-12-12 17:59:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3486f27428 Added soundex (sigh) 1996-12-12 17:02:21 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 843e712bda Added descriptions of parsedate(), parsedate_tz(), getdate_tz()
(all contributed by Andrew Kuchling).
1996-12-06 21:23:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 61ed4db9e8 Added section for operator module (compiled Skip Montanaro). 1996-12-06 21:22:41 +00:00
Fred Drake d560605ae6 (Makefile): Added sym links for each manual, i.e., index.html -> lib.html.
This makes addressing the manuals a little simpler.
1996-12-06 20:06:37 +00:00
Fred Drake fc8f6f3ed3 (Makefile): The sed hack is needed for all 3 manuals processed by latex2html;
the comma must represent a bug in the modified process_command()
	function, but I haven't found it yet.  This will work for now.
1996-12-06 18:45:30 +00:00
Fred Drake f1e6707ea6 (Makefile): Rip out old partparse.py / texi2html.py stuff -- use latex2html
instead!  Updated some comments.
1996-12-06 15:11:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 0d58d44da1 (myformat.perl): Don't italicize the '[]' characters around optional
parameters.
1996-12-06 15:09:14 +00:00
Fred Drake dce22add1b (.latex2html-init): Restore one setting to the default (no real need to
change it), and correct a typo in a comment.
1996-12-06 14:50:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 9abe64a395 (libparser.tex): Added note that the line number for a terminal token
indicates the line on which the token ends rather than starts
	(a side effect of interpreting the parse tree nodes directly).
	Maybe I'll fix this for Python 2.0.
1996-12-05 22:28:43 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 102dc417bf Describe the new Unpacker.get_buffer() method. 1996-12-04 22:05:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bda7ca7772 Added [nh]to[hn][sl](). 1996-12-02 17:24:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dde9c2c1d2 Added .ilg (makeindex logfile) 1996-11-27 19:54:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4745a274a5 Added some more turd files we can't avoid: .MIF, .ps, .auto. 1996-11-27 19:52:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cd612d5e5c Webmaker instructions 1996-11-27 19:51:35 +00:00

Fred Drake 3e1fe89a0d (myformat.perl): Fixed handling of "\e" -- argh! 1996-11-11 23:03:36 +00:00
Fred Drake b4d4e25a62 (Makefile): Updated comments about using LaTeX2HTML for the library
reference.  Made the extension to the input files for makeindex
	explicit; if not made explicit a directory of the given base
	name can cause makeindex to blow up.  Specifically, if there is
	a directory ./lib/ created by LaTeX2HTML, "makeindex lib" will
	fail, but "makeindex lib.idx" will not.

	l2h{tut,ext,lib} are now dependent on myformat.perl.

	l2h adds ls2lib and removes the non-existant l2href.
1996-11-11 21:03:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 4464022799 (myformat.perl): Simplify generated HTML for "\optional{...}". 1996-11-11 20:51:09 +00:00
Fred Drake b33021b572 (fix_libaux.sed): Hackish little sed script to modify lib.aux to get section
numbers right for latex2html for section titles which include
	"\sectcode{__.*__}" in the name.  Perhaps less general than it should
	be, but sufficient.
1996-11-11 20:49:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 784c6d3684 (.latex2html-init): Perform some limited setup for the reference manuals;
some defaults are set here, but mostly this allows the "\," command
	to be used the way it is in the Python documentation.

	All future documentation should probably be written with only ","
	in the argument lists and not "\,".
1996-11-11 20:46:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 9b550d992a (myformat.sty): Simplify \varvars definition. 1996-11-11 20:43:46 +00:00
Fred Drake c384d7560e (myformat.perl): Updated to allow library reference manual to be handled by
latex2html.  Mostly added support for custom environments and some
	of the smaller commands used in the library reference (\e, \optional).
1996-11-11 16:04:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b54f4dea73 Added 'Introduction' section head and 'Memory Management' subsection. 1996-11-06 15:47:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 76e47f3d75 Change last Ellipses to Ellipsis :-( 1996-11-02 17:05:21 +00:00
Fred Drake f93f101450 (Makefile): Updated latex2html support. 1996-10-29 16:07:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 7a7480dc84 (myformat.perl): Added handler for cfuncdesc environment. This is needed
for the extending & embedding manual.
1996-10-29 15:56:57 +00:00
Fred Drake eb33c781f3 (myformat.sty, extref.tex): Moved definition of cfuncdesc environment to
myformat.sty; having it in extref.tex confuses LaTeX2HTML.
1996-10-29 15:55:08 +00:00
Fred Drake fd255e433f (tut.tex): Added matching \normalsize after \small font control command
(and the contents it was supposed to be affecting).  The latest
	LaTeX2HTML handles these, but didn't close it as expected.  This
	handles that problem and does not affect the PostScript output.
1996-10-29 15:50:05 +00:00
Fred Drake abcb38250b (texi2html.py): Minor improvement to HTML 3.0 output for code examples. 1996-10-25 22:13:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 893e5e0a15 (partparse.py): Fix nasty bug where \e got translated to @e only within
the optional arg of an \item[].

documentation.
1996-10-14 16:20:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9b0581192d Added embryonic description of fcntl.lockf(). Added pointer to that
in posixfile (which is obsolescent).
1996-10-11 17:43:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 22f7f9e671 (texi2html.py): Added CLASS=Navigation attribute to DIV around top/bottom
navigation links for HTML 3 version.

	Forced a blank line above the footnotes separator for HTML 2; at
	least one page did not get this spaced correctly.
1996-10-11 16:54:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 4bf1296e05 (libtypes.tex): Correct reversal of two words in description of

	description.
1996-10-10 20:09:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 5f2aa7113d (Makefile): Push texi2html.py options into a make variable. 1996-10-09 19:33:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 0282726643 (texi2html.py): Tightened the generated HTML slightly. Added -p option to
print section titles even when the debugging output is not enabled.
	Added -3 option to generate HTML 3.0 constructs where meaningful.

	Removed repititive garbage generation:  the old version added simple
	descriptive comments after every datadesc/funcdesc/*desc entry:

	function(args) -- function of module xxxx
	    Description....

	These comments are no longer generated:

	function(args)
	    Description....
1996-10-09 19:05:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 0b95abcba5 (Makefile): Add libformatter.tex to the library document dependencies. 1996-10-09 16:15:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 8f925959c6 (libhtmllib.tex, libsgmllib.tex, libformatter.tex):
Improve indexing somewhat.  Add small intros to the "implementations"
	sections of the formatter module doc.
1996-10-09 16:13:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 7edd8d3c58 (partparse.py): Rationalize some behavior around unexpected conditions. 1996-10-09 16:11:26 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 58124880cc A first stab at describing what's new in 1.4. Still many XXX'es left.
Also would like to add an "author's note" at the beginning, basically
pointing everyone to the books.
1996-10-08 17:29:56 +00:00

Fred Drake a39a25e5ec (texi2html.py): Use "if __name__ == '__main__':" test. Adjust indentation
to 4 spaces per level (no longer 8).

(Makefile):  Use .pyc versions of partparse.py and texi2html.py to generate
	converted documentation formats.  This reduces the startup costs;
	probably doesn't affect anyone but me in reality, but helps when
	working on the docs.
1996-09-13 14:44:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 4b7d5a49ab (libparser.tex): Revised parser module documentation; improved logical
