Fred Drake 08932054e9 New helper functions to help deal with parameter parsing.

 1998-04-17 02:15:42 +00:00

Fred Drake bf88c3830e Fix the broken PDF links, really this time! 
Appending a junk char to the end doesn't quite do it, or doesn't seem to at
any rate.  Instead, pad the page numbers to always be 3 charaters wide, with
leading zeros.
 1998-04-15 17:50:22 +00:00
Fred Drake a2c2a836d7 Fix the broken PDF links, really this time! 
"." cannot be part of the target names either.

Appending a junk char to the end doesn't quite do it, or doesn't seem to at
any rate.  Instead, pad the page numbers to always be 3 charaters wide, with
leading zeros.
 1998-04-15 17:50:01 +00:00
Fred Drake a88d681255 Change the form of the name given to each page of the PDF from "page.%d" to 
"page.%dx"; this works around an acroread bug that causes targets not to be
recognized if their name is a prefix of another target in the file.
 1998-04-15 14:53:28 +00:00

(Thanks, Just!)

Fred Drake 3e7a48e0d9 Revert markup around list of display fields from the disassembler; it doesn't 
look at good in print, but doesn't break the HTML.
 1998-04-13 16:15:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 3ad125e611 Fix bug in little-used markup: don't forget to pass the source text along! 1998-04-13 14:18:57 +00:00
Fred Drake 7238988657 Fixed example to load the startup file from a script (didn't test for the 
file's existance).

Removed some XXX comments about extension modules which support pickling.

Added text from AMK about the readline and rlcompleter modules.

Thanks, AMK!
 1998-04-13 01:31:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 003d8da779 Typo: (and often severly limited) -- severely 
Typo: (but not to the tuple or list into which the item it put!) -- is put

Thanks, AMK!
 1998-04-13 00:53:42 +00:00

Thanks, AMK!

at work....)
 1998-04-12 03:58:13 +00:00

Fred Drake c94d9348ca In descriptions of Py_GetPrefix() and Py_GetExecPrefix(), make sure the

HTML is generated.
 1998-04-12 02:39:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 1072e46263 Added a simpler, working {verbatim} support that generates legitimate HTML.

 1998-04-11 16:57:05 +00:00

Fred Drake 8f6b958fdb Use {memberdesc} to mark the instance attributes. 1998-04-11 15:11:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 7dba8e2ab4 Hmmm... better add some \label macros for logical addressing while I'm at it. 1998-04-11 13:51:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 2a37455967 It's "Lauder", not "Lauders"! 1998-04-11 13:48:26 +00:00

 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(),

Fred Drake 45c634ecae Work around a small (& annoying) limitation of the latex2html support for

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 8e729ec31a Caught a few more spurious \setindexsubitem macros.... 1998-04-07 22:06:41 +00:00

 1998-04-07 19:58:19 +00:00

Fred Drake 71c1e502f0 Moved some things around. 
Adjusted a couple of the comments to be more informative.

modules.

Index entries.
 1998-04-04 06:23:02 +00:00

 1998-04-04 06:19:30 +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 
just not here yet.

Fred Drake 47cfd03dff Increase space between the end of a regexp and the little right floor symbol

Lots of index entries.
 1998-04-03 06:12:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e6688747c Consistency nits: 
Use math-mode pi instead of mixing forms.

Use spaces around relational operators.
 1998-04-03 06:04:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 76547c5631 Minor nits. 
Moved IGNORECASE & friends to "top level" definitions following compile(),
since there is no other case of nesting in the manual.

Use {memberdesc} and {methoddesc} as appropriate.
 1998-04-03 05:59:05 +00:00

Index entry.
 1998-04-03 05:31:45 +00:00
Fred Drake a594bafde7 Normalized case rules in section headings. 
Moved stuff from "Recent Additions to 1.1" to "More on Defining Functions".
This means there's now a short section on "Defining Functions" immediately
followed by a long section "More on Defining Functions."
 1998-04-03 05:16:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 7e9d3148d1 Capitalize "Python" for consistency. 1998-04-03 05:02:28 +00:00

Minor nits.
 1998-04-03 03:35:24 +00:00

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 dc40904a32 Hyphenate "built-in" for consistency. 1998-04-02 18:54:54 +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

Fred Drake 2351c80747 \bifuncindex: Fix so entries combine correctly with those of the built-in 
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
Fred Drake f14e2f8a04 Fix one remaining internal use of \code{} that could use the simpler form. 1998-04-02 16:09:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 9e9c89e67c Some nits. 
Fixed quoting in third paragraph of the findmatch() description.
 1998-04-02 15:53:07 +00:00
Fred Drake ac8f91ada4 Added --split for AMK; control split level of the HTML output. Use --split 1 
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 
few things and adds docs for what happens to escapes in replacement
strings.
 1998-04-02 01:32:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 391564f10f Small markup nits, a few grammatical fixes, and a clarification of the binary

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 6cb71491de Add comments about several of the environments. 
Cleaned up some problems that caused minor warnings.

index generation.

Removed some unused definitions.
 1998-03-27 05:22:53 +00:00

Fred Drake 42b31a5536 Lots and lots and lots..... 
Implemented some new features of python.sty for methods & members.

Fixed some bugs.

 1998-03-27 05:16:10 +00:00
Fred Drake f76abb51ef Make sure both hyphens of a long-option show up in the HTML output. 1998-03-27 00:37:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 55730316c9 Don't use the fncychap package for HOWTO documents; appendices break. Still 
use them for manuals.
 1998-03-25 15:41:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 050be83da9 Python HOWTO template document, with lots of help from AMK. 1998-03-25 15:39:49 +00:00
Fred Drake f6b55106a7 Update. 1998-03-25 14:56:01 +00:00
Fred Drake c0b2e453ae Change uses of \pdfinfo and \pdfcatalog to use the new syntax from the 
latest pdftex.  (Which we have here at CNRI.)  This makes the PDF targets
work again.
 1998-03-25 14:53:43 +00:00
Fred Drake f558e3188e Make $MYDIR absolute -- bug reported by AMK. 1998-03-24 17:48:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 2543769ca5 Use "/usr/bin/env perl" for the #! line, and change the -i option to: 
use English;
	$INPLACE_EDIT = '';

to get the inplace-editing behavior.
 1998-03-19 05:17:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 1125488b24 build_dvi(): Make sure we run latex enough times; this now matches the # 
of times pdflatex would be run, which is correct.
 1998-03-18 22:06:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 685ef4e604 According to Tim Peters, there should be 'print' statements in one 
particular example.
 1998-03-17 14:37:48 +00:00
Fred Drake cce1090d49 Change "\," to just "," in function signatures. This is easier to maintain, 
works better with LaTeX2HTML, and allows some simplification of the python.sty
macros.
 1998-03-17 06:33:25 +00:00
Fred Drake c9a4438c16 Coding cleanups. 
Fix some small but messy buglets.
 1998-03-17 06:29:13 +00:00

Some small cleanups.
 1998-03-17 06:28:05 +00:00
Fred Drake bd2796e972 Update.... 1998-03-17 06:24:10 +00:00
Fred Drake f3aa0e0627 Revert the index stuff to work better with LaTeX2HTML. 1998-03-17 06:23:13 +00:00
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.
 1998-03-17 06:22:12 +00:00
Fred Drake a2be9881f0 Reverting some of the index stuff to work with LaTeX2HTML better. 1998-03-17 06:20:04 +00:00

Fred Drake e603cb1073 Revive newind.py. -sigh- 1998-03-16 16:15:49 +00:00
Fred Drake d98329cdf0 Logical markup. 
Convert a {description} list to a {tableii} environment.
 1998-03-16 06:38:42 +00:00
Fred Drake ae25be2e4d {classdesc} environment: Index as "Foo (class in foolib)" instead of 
"Foo (in module foolib)".  Is now independent of indexsubitem.
 1998-03-16 05:26:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 1a855fad30 Markup nits. 
Adjusted some index entries.
 1998-03-16 05:23:50 +00:00

 1998-03-14 19:47:23 +00:00

at the top.
 1998-03-14 06:30:13 +00:00
Fred Drake cdea8a3c60 Logical markup. 
Wrap general Message class description in a {classdesc} instead of nothing at
all.
 1998-03-14 06:17:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 0f51fff57e Logical markup. 1998-03-14 06:16:57 +00:00
Fred Drake fc16e78f3c Bring this up to date. Some things still don't work right. 1998-03-12 21:03:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 94fac130bb \regexp{}: Rewritten to look like Freidl's book. Too rip-off? 
\envvar{}:  Bow to font-lock-mode a few times...!
 1998-03-12 19:37:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 3b5da76182 Logical markup. 1998-03-12 15:33:05 +00:00

Clean up index reference to SGMLParser class.
 1998-03-12 14:39:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 6ef871ce2f Logical markup. 
Lots of nits in both.
 1998-03-12 06:52:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 7be8fcb42a Use \envvar{FOO} instead of \code{\$FOO}. 1998-03-12 06:47:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e7e11abe5 Use \withsubitem{} for indexing extra-module functions. 1998-03-12 06:46:16 +00:00
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.

 1998-03-12 05:54:02 +00:00

Markup consistency.

Removed incorrect \setindexsubitem{}.
 1998-03-12 05:33:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 4912beb9d8 Add copyright statement. 
Add section on using A4 paper, since that's a common request.
 1998-03-11 17:07:35 +00:00
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 
a "set -x".

Allow keeping a transcript, using -l, in $FILE.how.

Allow keeping of all the temp files created by the process, using -k.
 1998-03-11 15:33:44 +00:00
Fred Drake c9f2c14d49 Somewhat more direct way of locating the file, using __FILE__. 
Leave find_my_file() around for now, even though we're not using it at the
moment.
 1998-03-11 12:08:21 +00:00
Fred Drake bc8ad5bdeb Replace lists of attributes for code and frame objects with a reference to the 
Python Reference Manual.

Fred Drake 60ba44750f Logical markup. 1998-03-11 06:18:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 295eaa84b0 Logical markup. 
Changed example to use "import posixfile" instead of "from posixfile import *"
since only one symbol was used.
 1998-03-11 06:11:37 +00:00
Fred Drake e42f595e5c Logical markup. 
Made references to constants in other TERMIOS module explicit in termios
description.

Removed superfluous backslash from example.

Fred Drake db9693ec97 Logical markup. 1998-03-11 05:50:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 75aae9ad89 Logical markup. 
Added information on the exception attributes when exceptions are classes.
 1998-03-11 05:29:58 +00:00
Fred Drake e2e904f303 Script to format HOWTO documents. Currently only tested on the "Using 
Kerberos from Python" HOWTO (this will change shortly, I hope).

This needs to be run from it's location in the Doc/tools directory, and
not via a symlink.  I'll try and fix this in the future.

The help message needs work.
 1998-03-10 23:23:05 +00:00
Fred Drake db34a1e2d8 Use the location of the initialization file to augment the style-specific 
.perl file search path, rather than making assumptions about the current
directory.
 1998-03-10 23:02:57 +00:00
Fred Drake eff1f7622a clean_title(): Remove debugging prints. 1998-03-10 14:33:27 +00:00
Fred Drake ac77b79df6 clean_title(): Clean a little more carefully. Still does funny things with 
underscores.  Might this be a fundamental PDF limitation?  Hm, could
	still be a TeX thing.
 1998-03-10 14:02:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 45e564dd78 In the source dist., don't include: 
- the .cvsignore files; these are only useful in the CVS tree

	- ref/ref.pdf

	- ref/ref.ps

After compression, these last two account for about one-half MB, and half
the tarball.  They can be picked up from the appropriate format dist if
needed.

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

than in each document file.

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.

right places*!

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 baa04a1c77 Make sure the general index and about nodes get labels assigned, so they get 
real names instead of node#.html names.

Fred Drake 526ebb4d97 Work on a temporary file, not the input file. 1998-02-19 16:01:41 +00:00
Fred Drake a799835460 Revised some targets to make better use of make "special" variables, to avoid 
repeating file names.

Change lib.texi target to not overwrite the input file; work on a copy.
 1998-02-19 16:01:04 +00:00
Fred Drake ef058037a5 Support environments {fulllineitems} and {classdesc}, more of the new logical 
markup.

The info generation now works, yet again.
 1998-02-19 15:20:30 +00:00
Fred Drake c92740708d Adjust grouping for the "b(reak)" command syntax description. This is 
required to get the info generation back in operation, yet again.
 1998-02-19 15:18:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 20e01966f5 Logical markup. 
Several uses of "\^" could be simplified; this fixes part of the info
generation process.
 1998-02-19 15:09:35 +00:00
Fred Drake ea8006a865 \nodename{} must immediately follow \chapter{} to be handled correctly; 
adding the \label{} broke that.
 1998-02-19 14:00:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 75bfb0f7bb {fulllineitems} is now an environment; use it as such. 1998-02-19 06:32:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 802a202d0d Logical markup. 
Changed {funcdesc} to {classdesc}.  This is a test case for {classdesc}.
 1998-02-19 06:26:35 +00:00
Fred Drake fb5e54d497 Mostly LaTeX style cleanup. 
Use \newenvironment{envname} instead of \newcommand{\foo} &
\newcommand{\endfoo} (or \let\endfoo=...!) wherever reasonable.

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.

Added {classdesc} environment which looks like the {funcdesc} environment
but doesn't add the parens in the index entry.
 1998-02-19 06:23:06 +00:00
Fred Drake c02fbe52b2 breakable_re: Fix the RE so that module definition entries don't prevent 
combining.
 1998-02-19 06:05:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a73033fcc2 Feature added by Bill van Melle: when no timezone is present, assume 
local time -- that's better than failure.
 1998-02-19 00:28:58 +00:00
Fred Drake ce0e175554 &do_cmd_url, 
&do_cmd_email:  Adjust to use a font similar to that used in the printed
	representation.

&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.
 1998-02-18 22:45:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 026d9626df Consistent spelling: "time zone" -> "timezone". 
Clarify that the sign of the timezone offset returned by
parsedate_tz() is the opposite of time.timezone.
 1998-02-18 21:47:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 4186cd3df2 Add named destinations for \label{} in the PDF.

Fred Drake b866020f66 Added a number of items.... 1998-02-18 16:03:43 +00:00
Fred Drake dd94676865 Added libsymbol.tex, libtoken.tex to dependencies for the libref. 
New targets:  ???-all, for each document.  This creates all formats of the
named document (DVI, HTML, PDF, PS).

l2hlib:  Added commands to translate node*.html to use the \label{} stuff,
	as supported by Jeremy's node2html.pl.  This gives us mostly
	bookmarkable nodes.
 1998-02-18 16:02:14 +00:00

Fred Drake 0c17d661e0 \url{}: For pdflatex, make the link active & make it blue. If anyone figures

 1998-02-18 14:24:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1931c0c961 Add normpath(). Clarify normcase(). (Note -- this doc section 
probably needs more work, describing new functions and the differences
between unix/mac/win.
 1998-02-18 14:00:05 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 8cf94e608e Add mktime_tz(). Add () to a function reference in parsedate_tz(). 1998-02-18 05:09:14 +00:00
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.
 1998-02-17 23:13:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 45a40930e7 &do_cmd_textohtmlmoduleindex: Get the modindex key added to the label->node 
association.
 1998-02-17 23:11:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 57b5e42c0c Added \label{} for logical addressing. 1998-02-17 22:30:13 +00:00
Fred Drake e2f194b57d Use \manpage{} markup for referencing a UNIX man page. 
Added index entry for DES cipher.
 1998-02-17 22:24:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 8ecc705ba4 Added comment explaining the only warning produced by makeindex, since there 
doesn't appear to be a way to fix that's reasonable.
 1998-02-17 20:31:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 326e19700f Remove Macintosh ligatures item. Solution: Update your Times fonts. 
Added native package semantics note.

Fred Drake 81f4b663b4 Started a TODO list with the latest bug reports. 
In part prompted by questions from AMK.
 1998-02-17 19:01:02 +00:00
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).
 1998-02-17 15:45:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 5c4e648731 Updated date for interim documentation release. 1998-02-17 15:41:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 5374045271 If generating PDF, include the author and title information in acroread's 
"File->General Info" dialog.
 1998-02-17 15:13:01 +00:00
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
time.
 1998-02-17 05:54:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 7154d382c3 Update indexsubitem for file attributes correctly. 1998-02-17 02:11:21 +00:00
Fred Drake a200faac55 \nodename{} must appear immediately after \section{} for the info conversion. 1998-02-17 02:10:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 06e1664c77 Indent {verbatim} environments like in the printed version. 1998-02-16 22:50:06 +00:00
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?)

Fred Drake fac431e7d5 NNTP.xgtitle() description: Add a missing ")" from the response value 
description.
