Fred Drake 2a37455967 It's "Lauder", not "Lauders"! 1998-04-11 13:48:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 9d4b6c52c3 Update the module index support to use the changed field separator for the
input file to buildindex.py.
1998-04-11 05:21:14 +00:00
Fred Drake e5cf53ad89 Formatting nits.
An index entry.
1998-04-11 05:02:45 +00:00
Fred Drake eb4ed15be8 Shift index entries around a little so the HTML doesn't have weird spacing. 1998-04-11 04:52:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 1e0f8bfea9 Add imaplib to appropriate lists. 1998-04-11 04:27:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 36751b0ed2 Remove obsolete module soundex from list of modules. 1998-04-11 04:23:07 +00:00
Fred Drake c48b772a77 Remove obsolete module rand from list of modules.
Add fileinput to list.
1998-04-11 04:22:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 89de314cfc First cut at documentation for imaplib. Based on original documentation by
Piers Lauders.
1998-04-11 04:19:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 756a9e87b1 do_env_memberdesc(): Fix argument parsing for {memberdesc} environments.
(The bug was detected by the Q/A team -- me!  Please, help review the docs!)
1998-04-11 03:12:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 007bac3b0b Added smtplib.py (thanks, Guido!). 1998-04-09 18:54:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 2cb824cbf9 Don't use \samp when \code is better.
Consistently use ' instead of ":  this conforms to my unofficial stance that
constants should be presented using the repr() whenever it makes sense.  This
isn't because I think repr() is the greatest thing since spam, just that it's
an easy to adopt consistency standard.  (It also holds no new surprises!)
1998-04-09 18:10:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 5cca42e0b7 do_cmd_lineii(),
do_cmd_lineiii():  Fix markup style conversion to HTML tags for first column.

1998-04-09 17:59:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 6b529ae0c0 Remove @webchecker.pickle in the "clean" target. 1998-04-09 15:46:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 45c634ecae Work around a small (& annoying) limitation of the latex2html support for
\seemodule.  This is far easier than figuring out the real problem, but it
works.
1998-04-09 15:44:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 8a254b5967 Removed misleading comment about GNU software. This module and the zlib
library have no relationship with GNU software other than implementing some of
the same algorithms and file format.  (The zlib module is more general.)
1998-04-09 15:41:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 45084ed52a Added note about current status of info generation. 1998-04-09 15:19:41 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 253328104f Many markup changes (to \regexp, mostly)
Clarified text on 8-bit cleanness, complemented sets like [^5], and {m,n}
  qualifier.
1998-04-09 14:56:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 02a8e6b600 Update release number and date. 1998-04-09 14:50:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 20ca9171c1 Don't assume that \version expands to the 3-character major.minor number; it
is the full release version name ("1.5.1beta1", for instance).

Add section for previously documented obsolete modules.  Includes ni, rand,
and soundex.
1998-04-09 14:32:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 363ab1a613 Comment out the soundex section. 1998-04-09 14:23:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 2de75ec245 Don't assume that \version expands to the 3-character major.minor number; it
is the full release version name ("1.5.1beta1", for instance).
1998-04-09 14:12:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 9da38814a3 Use the correct URL to AMK's regex-to-re HOWTO! 1998-04-09 14:06:33 +00:00

Fred Drake 058068d992 Nearly a complete re-write.
Basically, it now works and produces a nice-looking HTML index.

Shows some promise for extensibility, but still young.  Needs useful comments.
1998-04-08 23:12:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 166abbabf9 Remove option to strip out <tt>...</tt> from index entry text; this is now
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.
1998-04-08 23:10:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ae2be7144d Correct definition of CTIME. 1998-04-08 22:44:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 3f3c25fc03 Set flag to remove <tt>...</tt> markup from the index entries; it just ends up
looking really bad in popular browsers, mostly due to vertical size differences
between the roman and monospaced fonts.
1998-04-08 13:46:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 2764dd33cf Separate sections on anydbm and dumbdbm.
This is the last separation; each module now gets its own section.  This will
be useful in performing conversions.
1998-04-07 22:08:02 +00:00

Fred Drake d275de985a Remove obsolete lines like this:
\setindexsubitem{(in module frobnitz)}

These are no longer needed when present before any other \setindexsubitem{}
in the module section.  The indexsubitem is now set by \bimodindex and

Fred Drake 10ad52e8af Minor cleanliness. 1998-04-04 04:19:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a2eb138e7 Style specification for building *.ind from *.idx. This is needed to avoid
wrapping of long lines, which tools/indfix.py doesn't understand, and needs
to to handle collapsing of entries which can share a common emtry and just
be short entries themselves.  We get the added benefit of nicer formatting.
1998-04-04 04:18:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 07bcd99873 Start at updating the template a little bit. There's a lot of stuff that's

1998-04-03 06:04:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 76547c5631 Minor nits.
Moved IGNORECASE & friends to "top level" definitions following compile(),

Fred Drake a594bafde7 Normalized case rules in section headings.
Moved stuff from "Recent Additions to 1.1" to "More on Defining Functions".

Added comments to various sections.
1998-04-02 22:33:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 1191692d3d Lots of little nits.
Big fix:  the module index for the Python Library Reference is once more in a
separate file!  Yeah!
1998-04-02 22:30:57 +00:00
Fred Drake 58b2bfd0bf This fixes a (minor) problem discovered by AMK when you don't want any
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.
1998-04-02 20:14:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 3a18f3ba38 Hyphenate "built-in" for consistency. 1998-04-02 19:36:25 +00:00

Fred Drake da70ee1fae Use methoddesc and memberdesc, as needed.
Added description of BastionClass, since it is referred to in the Bastion
description as subclassable.
1998-04-02 18:51:30 +00:00

functions section.
1998-04-02 18:48:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a73d4db51 Removed reference to ni module. 1998-04-02 18:46:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 9ac80cb5bd Removed references to ni. 1998-04-02 18:45:09 +00:00
Fred Drake b401637bd8 Markup nits, index entries. 1998-04-02 18:44:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 674e0fd7a8 Be more specific about where in RFC 1421 to look, since it's not at all
obvious when taking a quick look.

Say "base64" instead of "base-64", since that seems to be how it's referred
to in other RFCs.
1998-04-02 16:24:29 +00:00
Fred Drake b789c70d05 Minor markup nits. 1998-04-02 16:19:15 +00:00

Fixed quoting in third paragraph of the findmatch() description.
1998-04-02 15:53:07 +00:00

to create a single HTML file.

Added --help.
1998-04-02 15:37:13 +00:00
Fred Drake a0dbddfcc0 Markup consistency nits.
Fix indentation in code sample in PyArg_ParseTuple() section.

Added one index entry.

Fix include file reference in "Shared Libraries" to print <...> instead of
the upside-down versions of ! and ?.
1998-04-02 06:50:02 +00:00
Fred Drake c6fa34e4d0 Markup consistency & nits.
Fix typo in a C code example:  KeyError is spelled PyExc_KeyError in C; the
"K" is upper case!

Some index entries.

On function signatures, always use parameter names.  Make return types match
what's in the header files.  When the return type is a pointer, always omit
the space between te type name and the "*"; leaving it in results in

	type * func(..)

and having two spaces there just looks terrible.
1998-04-02 06:47:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e9625e86b8 AMK's version from the latest pypcre distribution. This clarifies a

Fred Drake 982d91fb51 Change $ICONSERVER to conform to the value AMK & I have discussed for this;
doing this here may prove to not be such a good idea, but we'll see.
1998-03-27 06:53:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 8fe533e6a0 Use the new {methoddesc} and {memberdesc} environments as appropriate. 1998-03-27 05:27:08 +00:00
Fred Drake ec56109a0a First (rough) cut at HTML index generation in Python. Not very pretty, but
easier to work with than the Perl code.

Fred Drake 396a7cfb94 Reverting some the index stuff to use tools/newind.py again; this works
better with LaTeX2HTML.

Run pdflatex twice to generate the PDF files, even though LaTeX has already
been run a couple of times.  This ensures that font metrics for the final
run match those for the first run, and seesm to get (somewhat) better
outline results.

Fred Drake 371ecc0c1b Use \withsubitem{} for indexing functions from other modules. This fixes
things in the index.
1998-03-12 06:44:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 0ee9f727c9 \withsubitem{}: New macro. Change indexsubitem temporarily for another
macro.  Intended usage:

		\withsubitem{(in module foo)}{\ttindex{myfunc()}}

	This allows indexing functions from other modules/class/whatnot
	without being dependent on the exact expansions of several macros
	internal to python.sty.  It's also easier to read in the source!

Some new "logical" macros that seem to be useful:

\regexp{}:  For regular expressions.  To make it easier to keep the appearance
	consistent.

\mimetype{}:  Don't use \code{}!

\envvar{}:  Environment variable.  This does some indexing as well.

\character{}:  Just a character we want to talk about in the text, but not
	a Python constant.

Fred Drake 664b36ff59 *Sigh*
Add a -q option for "quiet" operation.  Nothing gets out (not even stderr,
since that's tossed to stdout for capture in the .how file).  It's a good
idea to use -l to get the log in case there are problems.  Maybe this should
be the default and add a --verbose option to get the stdout?  There's way
too much junk output.
1998-03-11 15:41:21 +00:00
Fred Drake dbc879e949 Allow the user to operate the script in debugging mode (-D), which just does

data file.
1998-03-04 21:52:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 28f1391051 Improve separation of document class and python semantic constructs. This
will allow us to have a class of smaller documents as well.
1998-03-04 21:47:59 +00:00

Fred Drake 85551a38f3 tarballs: Ok, we do support info for the moment, so add that to the tarballs
target.
1998-03-04 16:51:36 +00:00
Fred Drake b1cd7710ef pdf-$(VERSION).tar.gz: If ref/ref.pdf exists, include it in the tarball

Fred Drake cefcb33d4e Oops, remove some debugging prints. 1998-03-04 06:34:21 +00:00
Fred Drake b98cd39e20 changeit(): Added support for \deprecated{}.
Chunk.__repr__(), main():  Allow Chunk objects to get the buffer, to make the
representation contain text instead of a pair of indexes.  This makes debugging
a little easier.
1998-03-04 06:33:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 34d6f5b0be Preliminary LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 support. Includes patch from Ross Moore to
get some funky quoting of ']' in \item[...] to work right without having to
do really ugly things to the documents themselves.

There are a lot of things relating to indexing that are commented out;
parts need to be examined and dealt with with respect to changes in
LaTeX2HTML internals.  I'll work with Ross to see what it takes to make
this sort of stuff reasonable.
1998-03-04 05:36:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 2da947af87 Comment out the attempt to get index-related stuff processed in the right
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.   ;-(
1998-03-04 05:30:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 3fe985fc28 Simplify some of the escaping around ']' in \item[...] markup in light of

Fred Drake 6659c30b67 Convert LaTeX support to create a new class of documents. HTML generation
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.

Markup corrected, logical markup.
1998-02-27 15:19:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 4f56f2d646 When "declaring" a module using \*modindex{}, and * doesn't start with "ref",
set up the indexsubitem to "(in module #1)" automatically.  This reduces the
amount of markup needed in the module docs and, more importantly, makes it
o.k. to leave out in simple sections.  \setindexsubitem{} can still be used
to change or reset it.

Move code for \b@code, \e@code into the macros for the verbatim environment
directly since they're not used elsewhere.

Derive the name of the modules .idx from the jobname.

Some clean ups.

Fred Drake d10d0faaa5 Logical markup. 1998-02-24 21:43:05 +00:00
Fred Drake eb9b83104a Add support for hyperref package. This builds the PDF outline, makes the ToC
and index "hot", etc.

Updated a comment about fncychap.

Removed unused minitoc support; I'm not going to use it.  Something that makes
more sense with the Python lib ref can be done with reasonable effort, and can
wait a little while.
1998-02-23 21:37:27 +00:00

Fred Drake 5ad78f39e7 Changed way *.ind are forced to exist; the files are now reset to contain
an empty index instead of touched.  Note that for modindex.ind, this also
includes "\label{modindex}" so that the modindex.py script doesn't change
the set of labels in the document.

Be more consistent in use of $* in commands.

Guido van Rossum 505d80b39d Jeff Kunce writes (and he is right):
Also, I just ran across a [possible] minor glitch
in the library documentation for site.py. It says:

"For example, suppose sys.prefix and
sys.exec_prefix are set to `/usr/local'. The
Python 1.5 library is then installed in
`/usr/local/lib/python1.5'. Suppose this has a
subdirectory `/usr/local/python1.5/site-packages'
with three subsubdirectories, `foo', `bar' and
`spam'..."

I think it should be:
"...Suppose this has a subdirectory
`/usr/local/lib/python1.5/site-packages' with..."

Fred Drake fb5e54d497 Mostly LaTeX style cleanup.
Use \newenvironment{envname} instead of \newcommand{\foo} &

Where {*desc} environment helper functions are not needed outside a
single environment definition, inline them.

Ensure that \seemodule{} and \seetext{} are only available within the
{seealso} environment.

Added "()" to the index entries for {funcdesc} and {cfuncdesc} environments.

Fred Drake ce0e175554 &do_cmd_url,

&my_module_index_helper:  Change to be only used for defining markup.  Don't
	prepend an <A NAME=...> to the result; use the containing page as
	the module target for the index.

&ref_module_index_helper:  New function.  Used only for references to modules
	described elsewhere.  Generate the right target.

&init_myformat:  Set the anchor_mark to an empty string; this avoids junky
	"&#160;"'s in the text, which could really screw up vertical spacing
	when that's all that's in a paragraph.

&do_cmd_seemodule:  Insert markup to jump right to the referred-to module.

Fred Drake a219e7976f main(): Include a \label{modindex} in the output so latex won't let us re-use
the name elsewhere.  This is useful for the logical filenames project,
	since the "modindex" label is hardcoded into .latex2html-init.

Fred Drake 5fd242b085 Clarified comment about the PS generation when using the all-pdf target. 1998-02-17 18:20:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 30d17825ac Add magic to make PDF generation use maximal compression. 1998-02-17 15:56:55 +00:00
Fred Drake ddae414cb5 Added all-formats target: use this to get both PDF and PS files; using the
"alternate" rules for PDF generation doesn't ensure the PS files get
generated since distiller isn't used.

Switch to the "alternate" rules for PDF generation; this is starting to make
more sense than the distiller-based rule, and requires only free software.
I'm also confident it's working well (meaning I paged through all four
pdflatex-generated PDF files).

Fred Drake e8b46132e2 Massive changes. Fewer warnings from the Python Library Reference. Still
messy, but the thing seems to be working without bombing completely today.
Formatting lib.texi with TeX doesn't seem to do too badly, either!

Info formatting isn't quite there; that might just have to disappear this

Fred Drake 76183c0ed8 Move optional package inclusions to the top, to make them easier to find.
Code elsewhere in this file tests for the inclusion of the package and does
not need to be uncommented.  Comments explain what they do and how to
disable them.

Added support for the optional "fancyhdr" package.  If used, page footers
include chapter information on the left and section information on the right.

Both optional packages, "fancyhdr" and "times", are enabled by default.  We
may want to disable them before shipping, but I'm not completely convinced.
(How many installations format their own documentation?)

Added index entries for the modules referenced in the document.
1998-02-16 14:25:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 53fb7723ee Added index enties for the Python built-in functions, where appropriate. 1998-02-16 06:23:20 +00:00
Fred Drake e058b4f124 Lots of nitty-gritty stuff:
Use \emph{} when referring to title of any of the Python manuals, like is
done in the other manuals.

In some places, use \emph{} or \dfn{} instead of ``...''.

Use \samp{} instead of \code{} when marking identifier prefixes.

Use logical markup wherever it made sense.

Fixed a bunch of typos.

In several places, use "---" instead of "--" to get the emdash.

Start sentences with capital letters and end them with periods, as needed.

"it's" --> "its" in many places:  "it's" it *always* a contraction of "it is",
and "its" should always be used for the possessive.

"don't" --> "doesn't"

"should discards any" --> "should discard any"

In C function descriptions, use \var{} to mark parameters in the running
text instead of \code{}.  This matches usage in the other manauls better,
and is more consistent with the formatting of the function signatures.
Lots of little changes to implement this.

Lots of fixups needed due to appearant heavy cut-&-paste in the orignal
document.

Mention that the exception objects may be either classes or strings,
depending on the use of -X; they were unequivocally stated to be strings
in the section "Standard Exceptions".

"mkvalue()" --> "Py_BuildValue()"

Description of PyNumber_Power() indicates that the third value is option,
but not how to indicate that it was omitted.  Clarified.

Explain the behavior of PyString_FromStringAndSize() if the buffer is NULL.

Explain the Py_complex structure a little (tell what it's used for) and use
a {verbatim} environment for the structure definition itself.

Fix explanation of PyFile_SoftSpace().

Update the example version string to 1.5.

Combined the sections on defining new object types.
1998-02-16 06:15:35 +00:00

1998-02-13 22:17:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 01dbb88831 Fix some markup so that the right characters are printed.
"EOF" --> "\EOF{}"
1998-02-13 22:13:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 4a1efb63a9 Capitalize subsection title. 1998-02-13 22:10:21 +00:00
Fred Drake ab875b9a32 Make one paragraph wrap a little better. 1998-02-13 22:07:33 +00:00
Fred Drake a19bb9bbcf Capitalize first word in sentences, use periods at end. 1998-02-13 21:57:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 86b5dcec86 Change {datadesc} environments with empty descriptions to \dataline{}s; this
removes extra vertical space from the list of names, and makes the display
more similar to that used in the socket module, where several constants share
a description.
1998-02-13 21:55:21 +00:00
Fred Drake fc931ecf92 In description of sound_similar(), break up the markup for long
\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap.  This keeps
it from being too ugly.
1998-02-13 21:49:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 315b5d8a7f In description of __import__, second paragraph, break up the markup for long
\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap.  This keeps it
from running off the side of the page, and is only slightly weird.
1998-02-13 21:26:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 83bd081920 Minor stuff:
Explain what happens when a negative shift count is used (what exception).

Mark the title "Python Reference Manual" as \emph{}, for consistency.

"info" --> "information"

Tell more about the data attributes of file objects, using the {datadesc}
environment.

When refering the user to the language reference for information about
internal types, tell what internal types to expect information on.
1998-02-13 20:59:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 4c6896304b Fix weirdness with single-page table of contents, reported by Guido. 1998-02-13 16:58:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 2549249f79 &do_env_datadescni,
&do_env_funcdescni:  New functions.  These support the non-indexing variety
	of the {datadesc} and {funcdesc} environments.

There's still some flakiness with the new indexsubitem support, but that's
low priority.
1998-02-13 15:08:36 +00:00
Fred Drake fb74a463ad Add "Pretty Good Privacy" as well as "PGP" to the index. 1998-02-13 14:52:17 +00:00
Fred Drake c9c456ef69 In add_label_data() description, use "\samp{}" instead of "``\code{...}''"
to indicate the interpreted letters from the format string.
1998-02-13 14:48:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 7f6e2c45ec Use "\samp{...}" instead of "``\code{...}''" when showing markup fragments
in the running text.

For computed attribute and method names (where there's a \var{} part to
the name), use the non-indexing forms of \datadesc{} and \funcdesc{}.
This doesn't change the printed output, but removes 3 rejections from the
makeindex run and allows the LaTeX2HTML support to exclude these from the
index.
1998-02-13 14:38:23 +00:00
Fred Drake b441eb84d3 Use "\samp{...}" instead of "``\code{...}''" when showing markup fragments
in the running text.

For computed method names (where there's a \var{} part to the name), use
the non-indexing form of \funcdesc{}.  This doesn't change the printed
output, but removes 3 rejections from the makeindex run and allows the
LaTeX2HTML support to exclude these from the index.
1998-02-13 14:37:12 +00:00
Fred Drake aebc6f399e Two new environments: datadescni and funcdescni. These are similar to
datadesc and funcdesc, but don't add entries to the index.
1998-02-13 14:34:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 00dcfb2bc3 &get_indexsubitem: This now has a chance of working, thanks to:
&do_cmd_setindexsubitem:  New function.  Set the indexsubitem value from
	\setindexsubitem{(...)}.

&do_env_opcodedesc:  By default, don't index byte codes.

$INDEX_OPCODES:  New flag.  If true, index the byte codes.  Default is off.

Normalize indentation to 4 spaces everywhere.

Minor nits.
1998-02-13 07:21:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 8842e867af Remove \bcode / \ecode everywhere.
Make all the indentations in {verbatim} environments have column 0 of the
listing in column 0 of the file.

Remove pagenumbering / pagestyle cruft.

Use more logical and less physical markup.
1998-02-13 07:16:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 1e11a5c117 Remove \bcode / \ecode everywhere.
Make all the indentations in {verbatim} environments have column 0 of the
listing in column 0 of the file.

Remove pagenumbering / pagestyle cruft.
1998-02-13 07:11:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 2a4646c660 Remove obsolete pagenumbering / pagestyle cruft. 1998-02-13 07:08:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
1998-02-13 06:58:54 +00:00
Fred Drake dc8af0acc1 Lots of stuff:
Handle most (all?) of the page style / numbering magic here so the documents
don't have to do it individually.

Revise the \bcode / \ecode stuff so that the {verbatim} environment handles
it right directly.  \bcode / \ecode will be completely removed from all files
(to be checked in momentarily).

Have the {verbatim} environment get the samples indented a bit; this
appearantly had been attempted in the old code, but didn't work because
paragraphs weren't indented.

Make all headers, from chapters on down to subparagraphs, have sans-serif
titles.

\setindexsubitem{}:  New macro.  Replaces \renewcommand{\indexsubitem{}(...)}
	everywhere.  This allows LaTeX2HTML to be made to work correctly for
	this.  That was near impossible with the old mechanisms.

For all {*desc} environments, make the name of the described thing bold as
well as monospaced.

{opcodedesc} environment:  Don't index the byte code names; that doesn't seem
	terribly useful, and there are a lot of them.

\var{}:  More magic to make sure that the size is right even if embedded in
	\file{} or some other macro that uses the sans-serif font in running
	text.

\bfcode{}:  New macro.  Makes the font \code{} and bold.  (Was unreasonable
	using old LaTeX 2.09.)

\file{}:  Adjust the size of the sans-serif font a little.

\email{}, \url{},  Make these use the same font as \file{}, but not the
	surrounding single-quotes.

Update many comments.

Lots of minor nits and a little cleanliness.
1998-02-13 06:48:05 +00:00
Fred Drake cffaebb621 parse_line(): Strip whitespace from the module name.
main():  Include a comma between the module name and page number, to make
	 the generated index more like the "standard" generated index.
1998-02-13 05:11:05 +00:00

Fred Drake e5bc49785c "ASCII" --> "\ASCII{}" 1998-02-12 23:36:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 04cf4dcf58 Added tarpdf target.
Don't remove *.texi & *.info for clean; only for clobber.

Don't remake tarballs if not needed (PDF & PS only).  HTML tarball is still
painful.
1998-02-12 22:33:50 +00:00

Fred Drake 8a72a7e344 Use new \authoraddress{}; author's name and address are now separate.
Use new \release{}; this is now separate from \date{}.

Use \email{} instead of \code{} for email addresses.
1998-02-12 03:16:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 71c1ef34bf Remove second index entry for UserList. 1998-02-12 03:10:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 06f169bb7f \rfcindex{}: Removed; no longer needed.
\file{}:  Use a sans-serif font for the filename itself.

Use the fncychap.sty package for fancy chapter headings.

Replace the \maketitle command with our own format.  This is new, but it
looks a lot better than the old one.

Use \renewcommand instead of \def when extending or overriding standard LaTeX
commands.  This makes it more LaTeX-like.

Fred Drake dd244a0b9e Script to fix up the Library Reference index so it's less ugly. The docstring:
"""Combine similar index entries into an entry and subentries.

For example:

  \item {foobar} (in module flotz), 23
  \item {foobar} (in module whackit), 4323

becomes

  \item {foobar}
    \subitem in module flotz, 23
    \subitem in module whackit, 4323

Note that an item which matches the format of a collapsable item but which
isn't part of a group of similar items is not modified.
"""

This results in a much more readable index, with less repitition of text;
especially for common method names.

macro to insert an RFC index reference.

(RFC references were formatted three different ways.)

Guido van Rossum 8083c176a3 Add a note about rounding up of readlines()' sizehint to 8K. 1998-02-08 22:51:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6e91c6a344 Document getrefcount(). 1998-02-07 21:17:05 +00:00
Fred Drake b37a395231 \itembreak, \itemjoin: Remove unused macros.
\idxcode{}:  New macro; used to mark things that would be \code{} for entry
	into the index.  This allows easily switching things around for the
	font used in the index.  (O'Reilly seems to keep it all plain roman
	in the index.  Looks reasonable in the Python documentation as well.)

\*index{}:  Use \idxcode{} instead of {\codefont{}}.

Fred Drake 31c4ed75fc Remove commented-out \itembreak. 1998-02-06 22:26:04 +00:00
Fred Drake c660233cfb Update two of the \indexsubitem values to use singular rather than plural form
of "variable": each individual variable should be identified as a single
variable and not a collection in the index.

Guido van Rossum 8e1e68de49 Add ref to errno module, and change ref to posix.error to os.error. 1998-02-06 15:18:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f499e09f94 Add ref to errno module. 1998-02-06 15:18:05 +00:00
Guido van Rossum afcd589027 Retract the statement that all functions called by Python (even method
defs) need to be declared extern "C" -- it seems to have no basis in
truth (any more?).
1998-02-05 19:59:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 6b7fc6f267 Add *.pdf files to the clobber target (same target as *.ps). 1998-02-04 20:33:13 +00:00
Fred Drake baf700f398 Tell CVS to ignore PDF files. 1998-02-04 20:27:39 +00:00
Fred Drake b6e5032d9c Added description of "D" format for PyArg_ParseTuple(), including example
use with function name provided as well.

Wrapped up PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() description and provided example
based on Geoff Philbrick's example to the mailing list.

Fred Drake 126d840d1a Use implicit rules to perform DVI->PS and PS->PDF conversions. PDF conversion
requires "distill" from a FrameMaker installation.  ;-)  Would probably need
to be different for Windows/Mac.
1998-02-04 19:54:40 +00:00
Fred Drake b19274704f \modindex{}: New macro; index module without declaring it "built-in" or
"standard".  This is mostly for documentation of modules outside the
	standard library.
1998-02-04 14:43:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 8aad4c80b3 Added missing "{" for "\code <?stuff?>}". 1998-02-03 23:12:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ad37e9e77d Clarify that capwords() removes leading/trailing whitespace.
Remove references to regsub, which is obsolescent.
1998-02-02 03:01:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c45c2f3dc1 Add S_ISBLK(). 1998-01-29 22:03:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 02505e4850 New version of xmllib from Sjoerd.
The main incompatibility is that the error reporting method is now
called as
 parser.syntax_error(msg)
instead of
 parser.syntax_error(lineno, msg)

This new version also has some code to deal with the <?xml?> and
<!DOCTYPE> tags at the start of an XML document.
The documentation has been updated, and a small test module has been
created.
1998-01-29 14:55:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7570669a08 Add a note explaining that multiplying a sequence with a negative
number is the same as multiplying it with zero, and yields an empty
sequence.
1998-01-27 19:09:43 +00:00
Fred Drake c6c921a4de Py_AtExit(): Added brief note about the constraint on cleanup functions not
calling the Python API.
1998-01-26 19:16:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 16f88454f1 Use \url{} to mark a URL. 1998-01-22 20:47:26 +00:00
Fred Drake ff3f0d0a5c Use \url{} to mark URLs, \email{} to mark an email address. 1998-01-22 20:45:31 +00:00
Fred Drake ca6567fb3f Use \url{} to mark URLs. 1998-01-22 20:44:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 301ad2ee63 Fixed indexing of {datadesc} environments.
Removed " (byte code instruction)" from the output of the {opcodedesc}
environment; this should only appear in the index (which it now does).

Removed some really old cruft related to otherwise removed debugging code.
(I *think* assignments to $* set & clear auto-flush of <STDOUT>, but don't
really remember.  Removing them seems to not change anything!)
