Fred Drake 4856d01797 Removed a lot of unnecessary comment markers which cause unexplained 
numbers to appear in the HTML version of the manual.
 1999-01-12 04:15:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e2c9457a2 output_body(): For <address> elements, just skip, since they're 
always part of the page trailer.
 1999-01-11 22:30:34 +00:00
Fred Drake bb3b0028ba Patches describing the statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions. Additional

Thanks!

Fred Drake 637ad47e61 convert(): Make sure no line has trailing whitespace. (docfixer.py 
checks for \n\n as a paragraph separator, LaTeX allows white
	space between the newlines.)
 1999-01-07 18:47:07 +00:00
Fred Drake c7dd3e11da Markup nit. 
Add module synopsis.
 1999-01-07 15:45:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cf3ce92ef4 Explain how come that pickle and cPickle, while using the same data 
format, can produce different pickle strings for the same object.
 1999-01-06 23:34:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e51aa5b2cd Minor clarifications by Sean Reifschneider: 
- add example of string literal concatenation
- add clarifying comment to the example of the if statement
 1999-01-06 23:14:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 87e611e441 Replace the docs for reduce with an adaptation of its docstring, which 
was actually clearer!
 1999-01-06 23:10:51 +00:00

Fred Drake ccc627200a write_idxfile(): New function. Isolate format of the external index 
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.
 1999-01-05 22:16:29 +00:00

 1999-01-05 15:49:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 7d45f6dcc4 do_cmd_methodline(): New function, implements indexing version of 
\methodline.

Fixed up support for \withsubitem, hopefully improving the fidelity of
the index a bit.
 1999-01-05 14:39:27 +00:00

Fred Drake 8d7e11a8c1 Update information on the version of latex2html to use, including 
complaint about 98.2b8 problems.
 1999-01-04 18:25:38 +00:00
Fred Drake b75d021081 Typo: "TWELV" --> "TWELVE" 
Added note at top, since LaTeX style writers like to force name
changes when someone else makes a change to the style.  I'm sending a
note to the author reporting the error and asking for an updated
version.

This cannot be distributed in this form.  This will be resolved when I
get a response from Ulf Lindgren.

Typo reported by rwolff@noao.edu (Richard Wolff).

 1998-12-31 21:14:23 +00:00

"^"s were being dropped in the context of [^...]).
 1998-12-28 19:03:24 +00:00
Fred Drake d82af0b8ec Remove all use of $* in commands; some makes (Solaris 2.5, IRIX 6.X) 
only expand this in dependency lists.  Thanks for Sjoerd Mullendar for
pointing this out.
 1998-12-28 15:17:22 +00:00

Fred Drake 32f7ae0066 Fix many of the specific targets in links from the index. 
In a number of places, I called next_argument() instead of
next_argument_id() when the ID was also needed.  (7 places)

This version supports XML namespaces.
 1998-12-18 20:17:13 +00:00
Fred Drake aaed9710e9 create_module_info(): New function: Modify a <section> to create a 
<moduleinfo> element based on various meta information, and
	strip some cruftiness.  This is more usable for information
	extraction, and organizes the information more clearly.

cleanup_synopses():  Rewrite to use create_module_info(), so this
	will work with multi-rooted "documents".

 1998-12-10 18:31:37 +00:00
Fred Drake fba0ba2a6f Added a transform to start cleaning up the modulesynopsis stuff a 
little; more thinking is needed about what we really want.

Fred Drake e9e05968e3 Nits. 1998-12-10 05:04:21 +00:00

Guido van Rossum f484a3366b Sjoerd writes: 
When literal mode is entered it should exit automatically when the
matching close tag of the last unclosed open tag is encountered.  This
patch fixes this.
 1998-12-07 21:59:56 +00:00

sanitize for your protection :-)
 1998-12-01 19:19:21 +00:00

Fred Drake ca6d6355d7 l2hoption: Do the "right thing" to quote the right-hand-side of Perl 
assignments.  This allows '"', '$', and '@' to be included in
	the values passed to parameters like --address.
 1998-11-30 20:30:26 +00:00

 1998-11-30 20:27:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 1ea5848b7b Oops, remove LaTeX2HTML version number. Could become wrong and isn't 
needed, since it's always added to the comments in the page header
anyway.
 1998-11-30 19:29:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 15796f791a do_cmd_textohtmlinfopage(): Rip out most of the boilerplate and move 
it to the about.dat file.  Only what really needs to be
	generated is, and the remainder is easier to maintain than
	Perl code.
 1998-11-30 19:25:47 +00:00

process.
 1998-11-25 22:38:24 +00:00
Fred Drake f65e323101 Fix remaining {\rm ...} construct. 1998-11-25 20:55:03 +00:00

Blame it on Just.  ;-)
 1998-11-25 17:58:50 +00:00

Fred Drake 2b3730e284 Minor adjustments to a few index entries. 1998-11-25 17:40:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 1cbd196f96 Minor nit that fixes a bunch of indexing: the way the classdesc 
environment saves the name of the last class described, method and
member descriptions were not picking it up correctly.  Thus, many
index entries were described as "( method)" instead of "(FooClass
method)".  Multiple entries were collapsed in the index when
methods/members from multiple classes share the same name.
 1998-11-25 17:13:28 +00:00
Fred Drake e839199014 Fix indexing of func_code attribute; this is on a function, not a code 
object.

Add "()" to method names indexed using \ttindex{}.
 1998-11-25 17:09:19 +00:00
Fred Drake d8faf85d40 Supplemental rules to convert a .tex file to a .xml file. Both XML and 
SGML will be supported soon, probably using an ESIS representation saved
in a temp file.
 1998-11-24 17:40:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 6942e57f87 Script to convert things like <C/> and <Cpp/> to &C; and &Cpp;. This is 
something that con't be done with the DOM as far as I can tell.
 1998-11-24 17:38:49 +00:00
Fred Drake e743fd01ac Rationalize a word-space markup to not break in the LaTeX->*ML 
conversion tools currently being constructed.

Add a chapter from Jim Fulton on using Misc/Makefile.pre.in.  Still
preliminary.  The "Dynamic Loading" chapter needs to be updated (and
possibly removed, since it's no longer an issue for most (any?)
users.
 1998-11-24 17:07:29 +00:00
