Fred Drake 06c5a8b52e Make the default target xml instead of sgml. 1999-07-22 13:57:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 7dbde51f97 Make the default target xml instead of sgml.
Use a temporary file to pass results from latex2esis.py to
docfixer.py; this makes for better error detection by make (if the
first pipeline stage fails, make wasn't catching it).

after the import line for clarity.

Added credit to Martin von Loewis for creating the module and
documentation.
1999-07-01 16:31:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 859dc53a52 Per Frank Stajano's suggestion, state explicitly that the functions
described in the sub-sections are directly available at the module
level.  He found this confusing.
1999-07-01 13:54:40 +00:00

that paragraph).
1999-06-30 15:32:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 3d0971e33e For "Matching vs. Searching", remove comment that the section is
incomplete; I don't remember what else I thought I was going to put
in, but it looks o.k. to me know.
1999-06-29 21:21:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 9b59a303a8 Added some reminders. 1999-06-29 18:54:03 +00:00
Fred Drake d85b5a418a Move the setting for secnumdepth to the document classes; make the numbering
for the manual class go one deeper than it previously did (\subsection
entries will now be numbered); no change for howto documents.

This makes it easier to refer precisely to smaller sections using \ref.
1999-06-29 18:15:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 6bf37debb9 Added some minor prose before the descriptions of the data attributes
to make it clear that these are instance attributes, not module data.

Make reference to the copy_reg module a hyperlink.
1999-06-29 16:02:12 +00:00

Fred Drake 9e0b6229f6 Comment out XXX comment; this needn't appear in the formatted
