Fred Drake 1af9e79708 Added support for \funcline{} and \dataline{}. 
For all generated cases of <strong>...</strong> (from this module), change to
<b>...</b>.  This, from me?  This is entirely to reduce the size of the
generated markup, which is more of an issue than semantics here.  Since
<strong> isn't very meaningful anyway, this should be good.
 1998-01-12 23:15:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 023f87fbf8 Lots of minor markup nits, all consistency related. 
Consistently use trailing "()" on function / method names.

Wrapped some long lines.
 1998-01-12 19:16:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 97546399c7 Document maxsplit arg for split(), with incompatibility note about 1.5 
release bug.

Document groups() changed behaviour (now always returns tuple).
 1998-01-12 18:58:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 054f8fd12c Wrapped some long lines. 
Added trailing "()" for function and method names.

Added index entries for referenced modules.
 1998-01-12 18:28:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 74947ac473 Modify command descriptions to use \optional{} instead of ad-hoc markup. 
There are still weirdnesses, but less of them.
 1998-01-12 15:38:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 6c886a8db1 \optional{}: Removed leading word space, allowing more flexibility. 
{seealso} environment:  Always start a new paragraph after the "See Also:"
	line; this ensures that formatting is consistent for each subsequent
	\see*{} item.
 1998-01-12 14:44:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b2c45a8197 Sigh. Apply a similar patch to the *other* occurrence of [^...]. 1998-01-12 05:49:05 +00:00
Fred Drake fd49a964bc Follow current recommended practice in an example: Use isinstance() to 
perform a type test instead of type(x) == types.FoobarType.  In example
for type().
 1998-01-11 21:15:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 48022db400 "Unix" --> "\UNIX{}" 
Added index references to referred-to modules.

Added seealso section pointing to the glob module.

Removed description of translate().
 1998-01-11 19:06:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 0cf785a7a7 Grammatical nit. 1998-01-09 22:37:52 +00:00
Fred Drake cf7e830869 Add module reference for cPickle to index. 
Consistency:  Always use trailing "()" for function and method names in text.

Consistency:  Always mark parameter names with \var{} in text.

Change questionable text about CORBA to definate text about XDR; "CORBA" isn't
enough to specify an external representation, and I'm not sure the comment is
right if we say "IIOP".  I know its right about XDR if we only mention shared
object references and not recursive structures.
 1998-01-09 22:36:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 12d9da5827 Use \file{} instead of \code{} or ``\code{}'' to mark file & directory names 
& name parts.
 1998-01-09 22:30:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 8d0ff317bc Simplify markup. 1998-01-09 22:27:55 +00:00

Fred Drake bbe6068de0 Added \label{} to allow module references. 
Added some seealso sections.
 1998-01-09 22:24:14 +00:00

Fred Drake 6b3ed7f581 Markup consistency in the mapping object interface description. 1998-01-09 20:36:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 0bf6845450 Fix previous nit to really do the right thing. 1998-01-09 16:26:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 60a3d2788e Consistency: Always use lower-case markup; one tag was still given in 
uppercase.  (Makes it easier to see what markup is generated by the
	Python manual support and what is generated by standard latex2html.)
 1998-01-09 14:39:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 0fd8268189 Revise prologue and frontmatter to use latex2e (not in 2.09 compatibility 
mode) and take advantage of changes in myformat.sty.

Change "C" to "\C{}" and "\code{NULL}" to "\NULL{}" everywhere for consistency
and control.

Started a description of PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords().
 1998-01-09 05:39:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 1f8449af4e Revise prologue and frontmatter to use latex2e (not in 2.09 compatibility 
mode) and take advantage of changes in myformat.sty.
 1998-01-09 05:36:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 031ad4b2a0 \mytableofcontents New macro. Wrapper around \tableofcontents that 
does the right thing if the openright option is given.  Allows a
	lot of crud to be removed from the document files' frontmatter
	sections.

\endabstract		Extend standard macro.  (Called as \end{abstract}.)
	Does the right thing if the openright option is given.

\optional		Adjust to get the brackets right under latex2e.
 1998-01-09 05:34:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 46fbd7f4a0 Nit. 1998-01-09 05:22:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 3c3d7ce7fe For consistency, always use a trailing "()" on function names in the running 
text.

Add one index entry.
 1998-01-08 04:00:30 +00:00

Added index entries & \label{} constructs.
 1998-01-07 22:05:25 +00:00
Fred Drake c9a32ab26b Normalize some markup.

 1998-01-07 18:57:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 6279fccf4c Fixed up index entries. 
Adjusted one formatting problem (long \code{} in running text).
 1998-01-07 13:23:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 1566a1d72c Added index entry for the protocol. 
Fixed typo (extra char in the word "character").

Minor nits.
 1998-01-07 13:17:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 15bac5d6e4 Added index items for the RFC and the protocol itself. 1998-01-07 13:13:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 799484399d Fixed index entries to be more consistent. 1998-01-07 03:47:10 +00:00
Fred Drake c4586387f6 In description of \D, revise markup so that the caret shows up in the HTML 
version as well as the dvi form.  Without the fix, it showed up as an extra
zero character.

Bug reported by Hugh Sasse <hgs@dmu.ac.uk>.
 1998-01-06 15:46:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 85a5c52752 Descriptions for PyRun_String(), PyRun_File(), and PyRun_CompileString() all 
gave the return type as part of the function field and used an empty return
type field.  Fixed.

Function name field for PyLong_FromString() included an asterisk at the
beginning of the function name field; removed.
 1998-01-02 03:24:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 34252f99d6 lib.dvi target: Added commands to generate the modules index. 1998-01-02 03:01:47 +00:00

Fred Drake 0b1337d674 Add module index before the general index. 1998-01-02 02:59:09 +00:00
Fred Drake da941ef27c Added support for storing information to build a module index. 
Enhance the "theindex" environment to add an entry to the table of contents.
 1998-01-02 02:57:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 875c807c92 In description of the group() method, fix markup of "\(" and "\)" literals; 
"\code{\\(}" produces "(" in the .dvi file and "<BR> (" in the latex2html
output (the font was right).  Changed to "\code{{\e}(}" variation, which
fixes both.  Breaks the .texi file generation again.  Oh well.
 1998-01-02 02:50:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3884e7edf9 Apply fixps.py to allow A4 paper printing. 1997-12-30 23:49:49 +00:00

Guido van Rossum b1b8f23903 Add URL of Andrew Kuchling's nifty re conversion page... 1997-12-30 04:53:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8e94489882 Add a note that up to 1.4, translate() produced Emacs style syntax; in 
1.5, it produces Perl style syntax.  Also change "Python's regular
expressions" into plain "regular expression" in the intro.
 1997-12-30 04:43:36 +00:00
Fred Drake e33e903461 Updated release date to match boilerplate.tex. 
Removed implied future availability of an info/texi version of the other
manuals (the word "yet").

Guido, you might want to check this file to see if any other changes are
required.
 1997-12-30 04:42:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5de1eb9b84 Added ConfigParser.py to list of undocumented miscellaneous useful utilities. 1997-12-30 04:41:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dccc298e3d Took out some disclaiming text (even from the title!). Rewritten 
abstract.  Alas, I didn't get to do anything else before the release
:-(
 1997-12-30 04:40:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5b8a523538 A whole bunch of typos fixed by Andrew Kuchling.

Added a reminder about CObject to the back.
 1997-12-30 04:38:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5b943ca1a9 Set the release date for 1.5 (final). 1997-12-30 04:29:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 13704a8928 Added .PHONY annotation for lib.info target; the real target is 
python-lib.info.  The annotation is needed to prevent at least GNU make from
building a second set of info files with the lib.info base name.
 1997-12-29 22:04:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e66e9c5562 Remove more commented-out text that is no longer needed. 1997-12-29 21:43:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 29d3b9368c Remove the commented-out warning at the top. It shouldn't be there 
for the 1.5 release version of the file.
 1997-12-29 21:42:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 43c9350f7a Getting uglier. But it doesn't completely bomb except for some table stuff. 
I'll get to it when I can.
 1997-12-29 21:40:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 78f8e98232 Lots of minor nits that allow this file to get processed without failures by 
the info generation phases.  Most of the errors had occurred in the makeinfo
step.

Commented out the warning at the top; this should still really be removed
before 1.5, but that's not my call.  It generated problems for the info
conversion as well.
 1997-12-29 21:39:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 6810a29c64 Ignore generated info files. 1997-12-29 21:37:21 +00:00
Fred Drake a007c13094 Reduce warning count from partparse.py. 
Removed BaseHTTPServer.py from list of undocumented modules.

Fred Drake d7feffdd5f Reduce warning count from partparse.py. 1997-12-29 20:02:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9cb64803aa Added Greg Stein's docs for BaseHTTPServer.py. 
Moved docs for "re" to before docs for "regex".
 1997-12-29 20:01:55 +00:00
Fred Drake b0744c5a28 Make "{" and "}" in code sample visible instead of a group (it's supposed to 
be a dictionary...).
 1997-12-29 19:59:38 +00:00
Fred Drake bef9b0b039 Added missing "\" to "\var{address}, var{length}" in buffer_info() description. 1997-12-29 19:33:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 6884e3b94b Reduce warning count from partparse.py. 1997-12-29 19:09:37 +00:00
Fred Drake c416445d7e Use tableii environment for the table instead of tabular. This makes it 
consistent with other 2-column tables in the Python documentation.
 1997-12-29 19:02:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 671fe9dd31 Reduce warning count from partparse.py. 1997-12-29 18:53:31 +00:00
Fred Drake a3e672b574 Nit adjustments to remove warnings when processed with partparse.py. 1997-12-29 18:21:37 +00:00
Fred Drake f0867315e9 Normalized the word "Unix" to "\UNIX{}". 
Changed "{\tt crypt}" to "\sectcode{crypt}" in section heading.
 1997-12-29 17:31:22 +00:00
Fred Drake a4541af0ba A bunch of minor stuff. 
Lots of support for new macros defined in myformat.sty; including the new
indexing macros, seealso environment & friends, and the byte code instruction
support.
 1997-12-29 17:19:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 05dd3c09ab Added back info generation. Still buggy in the final phase (makeinfo run). 
Does not conflict with any other targets.
 1997-12-29 17:17:54 +00:00
Fred Drake cc97454987 Added missing "\" to "var{P}.\var{M}" in load_module() description. 1997-12-29 17:16:24 +00:00
Fred Drake f3e6df1e2d Remove unneeded "{}" that confused makeinfo. 1997-12-29 17:11:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 6ccaaf1a08 Change name of temporary file to avoid possible filesystem issues; matches 
similar renaming of the @buildno file elsewhere in the Python tree.
 1997-12-29 16:58:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 1656d17c42 Changed all \verb\...\ markup to either \code{...} or \samp{...}. 1997-12-29 16:55:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 2cd0b9b1ba Removed "-*-texinfo-*-" from first line; this can cause emacs/xemacs to stop 
and ask the user for permission to set buffer-local variables depending on
the user's configuration.  Not really needed since this doesn't get edited
often.

Bumped the version number to 1.5; date still needs to be set.
 1997-12-29 16:54:11 +00:00
Fred Drake f9951818a6 Normalized the \seetext markup to match the only other instance: should be 
"\seetext{...}" instead of "\seetext ...".
 1997-12-29 16:37:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 45c9df6636 Changed some \verb\...\ markup to the more common \code{...}. \verb\...\ is 
rarely needed and should be avoided where possible since it doesn't behave
well with some processing tools (like partparse.py).
 1997-12-29 15:55:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 0ee358529e do_env_tableii(), do_env_tableiii(): Align the table in the center, just 
like LaTeX does.  There's no need to diverge on this.
 1997-12-28 03:41:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dd79bd3539 Checking in fixed PS, with A4 capability. 1997-12-24 18:32:36 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b9973d9060 Script to edit one line in the PS to allow A4 printing. 1997-12-24 18:31:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 7f96291ee2 Convert a couple of three-column tables with an empty third column to 
two-column tables.  This improves the rendering of the HTML version on
(at least) some browsers.
 1997-12-23 04:21:20 +00:00
Fred Drake d665e8b5b0 Removed unnecessary \small{} block; latex2html got it wrong and its no 
longer needed for printed output.
 1997-12-23 04:10:35 +00:00
Fred Drake d21759ba47 Removed unnecessary \small{} block; latex2html got it wrong and its no 
longer needed for printed output.
 1997-12-23 04:03:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0148bbf966 AMK's latest 1997-12-22 22:41:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 9597daf220 do_env_tableii(), do_cmd_lineii(), 
do_env_tableiii(), do_cmd_lineiii():  New functions to handle tableii and
	tableiii environments.

Small changes to not add a superfluous space between a function name and the
comma in the index.
 1997-12-22 22:37:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e903aab833 Replace unprotected tilders by \~ -- an unprotected tilde is a 
non-breaking space!
 1997-12-18 16:28:56 +00:00
Fred Drake b2c6ef83f4 Change {\em ...} to \emph{...}; this seems to be the developing preference 
throughout the manuals, and seems easier to read.
 1997-12-18 15:56:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 616b23b2e4 img_tag(), top_navigation_panel(): Generate markup the same case as other 
functions in this file.

Fred Drake 8da9e6a8a0 make_mod_index_entry(): Generate markup the same case as other functions in 
this file.
 1997-12-18 14:14:16 +00:00

Fred Drake b78da332fa Make the word "Module" in the section header start with an upper-case "M" 
for all three modules described here.

Added a \label{} for each of the two modules missing it.
 1997-12-17 14:12:31 +00:00
Fred Drake a47bce54a6 Make the word "Module" in the section header start with an upper-case "M". 
Added a \label{} for the module.

Fixed one minor grammatical nit:  use plural pronoun to refer to a pair of
referents.

Include "()" when naming functions in the text.
 1997-12-17 14:11:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 9c483191d6 Make the word "Module" in the section header start with an upper-case "M". 1997-12-17 14:08:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 2303d31cc0 Make the word "Module" in the section header start with an upper-case "M". 
Added a \label{} for the module.

Fred Drake 7372e5793d Make the word "Module" in the section header start with an upper-case "M". 
Minor grammatical nit.
 1997-12-17 13:51:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 045c7fc9b9 Make the word "Module" in the section header start with an upper-case "M". 
Remove the leading comment declaring this to be a template for module
documentation.
 1997-12-17 13:47:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 6f070108df Make the word "Module" in the section header start with an upper-case "M" 
for both modules documented here.
 1997-12-17 13:45:50 +00:00
Fred Drake dccd9dbf52 Make the word "Module" in the section header start with an upper-case "M" 
for both built-in and standard modules.  They were different.
 1997-12-17 13:44:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 819b789f36 gen_index_id(): New function. Construct an index key such that the sort 
is stable and the form is only defined in one place, since we do
	some fancy footwork with the keys to separate the defining instance
	of a module reference from other references in the HTML index.

make_index_entry():  Override the standard definition to use get_index_id().

make_str_index_entry():  Moved to myformat.perl; only needed there.

index_key_eq():  Override the standard definition.  Add key transforms to
	remove extra junk from the end of the keys; it was only there to
	maintain ordering.

clean_key():  Remove key transform no longer needed at this stage, because
	keeping it makes the sort unstable.

add_idx():  Add key transforms to undo the mess we do to separate a module's
	defining and reference entries.  Don't make the text bold.
 1997-12-17 03:08:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 84818d7aad make_mod_index_entry(): New function. Create the index entry for a module. 
my_module_index_helper():  Do the actual work for \*modindex{}, including
	both the defining and reference forms.

make_str_index_entry():  Moved from .latex2html-init; it's really specific
	to the presentation.
 1997-12-17 02:59:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e4eb2231fd AMK's latest 1997-12-17 00:23:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 72df9bcba2 do_cmd_refbimodindex(), do_cmd_refstmodindex(): New functions, handle the 
reference form of \bimodindex{} and \stmodindex{}.

my_parword_index_helper():  Fixed to include proper anchor in result text.
 1997-12-16 21:13:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 5ca9033062 Index the RFC822 reference (some other RFC references were alreaddy indexed). 
Add index reference to mailbox module; also remove comment that it's
undocumented (it has been).
 1997-12-16 15:19:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 8e0799817e The \indexsubitem definition for the actual exceptions did not actually 
change the \indexsubitem value; fixed.
 1997-12-16 14:54:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 9d2f7d414d Oops, ".pythonrc.py" should *always* be marked with \file{}; one occurrance 
escaped with \var{}.
 1997-12-16 14:43:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 5493205ba4 Module names should be in \code{}. 
Added index reference to site module.
 1997-12-16 14:41:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 0514ce126a Descriptions for delitem(), __delitem__(): These delete a value, not set it. 
Lots of little nits:  parameter names in text should be \var{}, etc.
 1997-12-16 14:29:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 4f496cc5b1 Fixed index module reference. 1997-12-16 04:08:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 90f2e5e202 Added a named target for referencing. 1997-12-16 04:06:33 +00:00
Fred Drake bfc28bcfdf Used a named target to form the reference to the Built-in Functions section. 1997-12-16 04:06:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 6d2bdb682d Fixed index module reference. 
Changed references to regex/regsub modules to point to re.
 1997-12-16 04:04:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 3aa289537c Fixed index references to modules. (This is *not* the spam module!) 1997-12-16 00:02:01 +00:00
Fred Drake e14388c4b8 Fixed index references to modules. 1997-12-15 22:28:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 19d58273c5 Fixed index references to modules. 
Made references to files use \file{} instead of \code{}.
 1997-12-15 22:23:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 356818eccb Fixed index references to modules. 1997-12-15 22:20:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 8274f32a6d Fixed index references to modules. 
Changed regex reference to re.
 1997-12-15 22:19:46 +00:00
Fred Drake f5eaa2efb8 Fixed index references to modules. 
Added new index entry for mimetools module.
 1997-12-15 22:13:50 +00:00
Fred Drake a51f5a48e5 Fixed index references to modules. 1997-12-15 22:09:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 4af1814858 \refmodindex{}: New macro, used to make an index reference to a module which 
is neither standard nor built-in.  (Used for sitecustomize entry.)
 1997-12-15 22:08:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 9ab2b2ec5b Fixed index references to modules. 
Placed references closer to usage.
 1997-12-15 21:59:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 54820dc8e4 Fixed index references to modules. 1997-12-15 21:56:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 6206394a4b Changed illegal \stmodindex{} to \refstmodindex{}, added index reference 
to the stat module.
 1997-12-15 21:42:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 8a528bd10d Added some module references to the index. 1997-12-15 21:40:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 207e57b617 Added definitions of \refbimodindex{} and \refstmodindex{}, which should be 
used to add index references for built-in and standard modules, respectively.

Modified \bimodindex{} and \stmodindex{} to make the page number bold, to
allow the defining instance of a module to stand out in the index.

Check-ins which fix improper use of \bimodindex{} and \stmodindex{} will be
made as fixes are applied.  Misc. indexing updates will occur as a side
effect in some cases.
 1997-12-15 21:37:45 +00:00
Fred Drake d9dbfbd33c At the top, made it clear that the \bimodindex{} and \stmodindex{} are only 
used for the defining entry for the module, not every index reference.
 1997-12-15 21:20:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c0cc6351e5 regex -> re 1997-12-15 17:53:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 095f35ad60 Changed \indexsubitem from ({\tt HTMLParser} method) to just 
(HTMLParser method).

This makes it more consistent with other modules.  All three *mllib modules
need this change.
 1997-12-12 05:34:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 1247ceab94 Changed \indexsubitem from ({\tt SGMLParser} method) to just 
(SGMLParser method).

This makes it more consistent with other modules.  All three *mllib modules
need this change.
 1997-12-12 05:33:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 0add4c120d Changed \indexsubitem from ({\tt XMLParser} method) to just (XMLParser method). 
This makes it more consistent with other modules.  All three *mllib modules
need this change.
 1997-12-12 05:32:31 +00:00
Fred Drake d56924258a add_idx(): Don't add unnecessary markup around the little markers stuck in the 
index to cross-references; an image doesn't benefit by being bold!
 1997-12-11 21:46:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 48d0437d1d AMK's latest version. 1997-12-11 20:19:08 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bd49ac4492 The 'l' flag (locale specific matching) has been renamed to 'L'. 1997-12-10 23:05:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d58daff686 Planned release date for 1.5b2. 1997-12-10 18:56:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 736fe5e918 Document binary format and __init__-free unpickling. Added a pointer 
to cPickle.
 1997-12-09 20:45:08 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a42c17851c Turn the table for flags into a nested itemized environment. 1997-12-09 20:41:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum eefcba61f4 Fix a little mess (Likecode{...} -> Like \code{...}) in recently added text. 1997-12-09 19:47:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8291bb3693 Reference to PYTHONPATH should be PYTHONSTARTUP. 1997-12-09 19:46:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 28f9a68deb Added note about the module's obsolescence. 1997-12-09 19:45:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 138dac5a1b Added more warnings about ni's demise. 1997-12-09 15:03:41 +00:00
Fred Drake a2e268aa40 Mark file names with \file{} instead of \code{}. 1997-12-09 03:28:42 +00:00
Fred Drake c5aec05967 Separated the definitions of ntohs(), ntohl(), htons(), htonl(). Separate 
descriptions really make things look a bit better, and should improve the
ability to re-purpose the content.
 1997-12-08 21:25:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 8ca70069a6 Added Emacs turd so this file has the correct mode in Emacs / X/Emacs, even 
if you don't have .perl in your mode table.
 1997-12-08 20:59:54 +00:00
Fred Drake a5a3cdcf4d Added Emacs turd so this file has the correct mode in Emacs / X/Emacs. 
clean_key():  Override the standard LaTeX2HTML clean_key() to remove a
	leading HTML tag, if present.  This broke the indexes for the library
	reference (at least) since many of the strings began with <code> or
	something similar.
 1997-12-08 20:58:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a417b66204 Updated the README to the current status. Added a note about the 
"times" option.
 1997-12-08 20:51:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0b334104ac New version from AMK -- with minor corrections to make it legal latex. 1997-12-08 17:33:40 +00:00
Fred Drake f3d729c8f9 Fixed SFT #23842: leave in non-standard style options when checking in an 
update.  ;-(
 1997-12-08 15:48:35 +00:00
Fred Drake e907208b30 Some reorganization (all limit operations & constants together, and all usage 
functions and constants together).

Make explicit datadesc sections for each of the constants which might appear,
and have a description of each.  (Descriptions are based on the Linux
documentation and sources and the Solaris man pages.)

Hopefully Jeremy won't mind, because I didn't ask.  ;-)
 1997-12-06 07:25:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a0eaa2200c Some manipulations with tags to get the TOC and Index to look better 1997-12-06 00:39:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3e396cf9ff New WML file, this time with working Title and Author tags, and 
mapping chapter and section headings to more appropriate nodes so that
the TOC actually works.  Now generates one HTML page per chapter.
 1997-12-06 00:38:30 +00:00
Fred Drake eee08cdd54 Make examples consistently use 4-space indentation. 
Use \file{} for file names.

Prefer \code{blat} and \emph{blat} to {\tt blat} and {\em blat}; this matches
current style in the Library Reference a bit better.

Made the example startup banner current.  The version number should be
bumped before the next release.
 1997-12-04 15:43:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 0d3b4f8beb Fixed unresolved reference problem; this module wasn't \label{}ed. 
Remove spurious underscore following book title.  Added specific reference to
a Win32 networking book.

Changed \indexsubitem from (in module SocketServer) to (SocketServer protocol),
since it's talking about a protocol supported by a collection of classes.
 1997-12-04 14:36:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 98b032a7c0 Removed unnecessary escaping. 1997-12-04 14:20:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 1cf87496a6 Arg; more nits, but I may as well finish the job. 
Removed the large comment remaining from the template documentation
section; the template tells us to remove these once they're not needed.

Remove some trailing whitespace from VM instruction pseudo-code.
 1997-12-04 04:57:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 7381e28399 Fixed BINARY_RSHIFT documentation to indicate a right shift instead of a left 
shift.

Adjust whitespace around "=" in VM machine descriptions to be consistent
throughout the document.
 1997-12-04 04:51:12 +00:00
Fred Drake c2297c1ce9 Changed {\sc gdbm} to \code{gdbm} everywhere. 
Fixed \indexsubitem to gdbm instead of dbm.

Changed dbm to \code{dbm} everywhere.
 1997-12-04 04:45:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 7c4cba8325 Added handler for opcodedesc environment. 
Fixed weird index behavior.
 1997-12-03 19:45:08 +00:00
Fred Drake f2d7e5528d make_str_index_entry(): New function. Similar to make_index_entry(), but 
includes the string in the returned value instead of the dummy
	filler character.

add_idx():  Override the latex2html function of the same name; this gets
	the anchor properly embedded in the <dt> element, so the index
	works in Grail too.
 1997-12-03 19:44:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ab76af3d65 Provide default for blocksize on retrbinary (Skip Montanaro). 1997-12-03 19:34:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 456035f4b1 The biggie: changed the funcdesc environments used for opcode descriptions 
to use the opcodedesc environment.

Changed a \code{} to a \file{} near the start where a file is referenced.

Fixed a typo:  "on" --> "one" in ROT_THREE description.

Wherever opcodes were referenced by name, use \code{OPCODE_NAME}; usage was
inconsistent.  Ideally, another macro would be defined since these don't
represent code a programmer would type, but that's minor even for me.  It'll
probably get converted automatically in the SGML conversion project.  Whether
that matters or not isn't relevant at this point.
 1997-12-03 04:06:57 +00:00
Fred Drake a610f9f8c1 Added environment for defining PyVM instructions. This is only used in 
the libdis.tex file I'm about to check in.

I'm not sure this is really an optimal solution yet, but it may be the best
alternative.  It avoids describing the instructions as either data items or
functions.

This change was discussed with Guido.  (Guido:  Take a look at the LaTeX
output for this; if this is reasonable I'll go ahead and update the perl
code in myformat.perl to match.)
 1997-12-03 03:42:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 240ddc8a68 Typo in example (missing '=') discovered by Sandy Langbart. 1997-12-02 20:08:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3593e5c4c3 Document new behavior of isinstance() when using a type object. 1997-12-02 19:15:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0f280b6099 Use $LOGNAME instead of $USER to get the current user -- it seems to 
be the state of the art.
 1997-12-01 18:50:09 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 433c8ca328 Removed Queue.py. It's documented now. 1997-12-01 16:35:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 798654fc68 Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the 
wrong module.
 1997-11-30 05:53:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 2478f9d5a2 Added \indexsubitem definition. Non-optimal, but two modules are sharing 
the documentation here.
 1997-11-30 05:38:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 92796d1f01 Added \indexsubitem definition; functions were previously indexed for the 
wrong module.
 1997-11-30 05:27:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 7730cc067f Updated \indexsubitem; functions had been indexed for the wrong module. 1997-11-30 05:23:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 73ec2c0081 Slip of the keyboard (f__ should be __). Dunno why I had a totally 
messed up (but not checked in) version in my work files and didn't
notice before releasing 1.5 -- at least the distributed latex file
doesn't have the bogus warning about changed __init__ semantics.
 1997-11-27 01:39:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 330c660f66 The dependency of tarhtml on l2h was a bad idea. 1997-11-26 15:31:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ee9f820cf1 Documented brand new behavior of sys.ps1 and sys.ps2 (str() is applied 
to get the actual prompt).
 1997-11-25 21:12:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 84cca446f2 Added utility target tarhtml to tar and gzip the HTML files plus their 
support (GIFS, icons, style sheets).
 1997-11-25 20:49:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 28fbe4dcd2 Adding the icons used by latex2html output to the CVS tree. 1997-11-25 20:14:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 628b4085b5 Ignore html files generated by webmaker. 1997-11-25 20:10:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 000eb0a138 Augmented the script so that (at CNRI anyway) it also invokes webmaker 
to create the HTML.
 1997-11-25 20:10:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4323f7c7fd Simple index for the reference manuals (mostly for use on the Windows 
platform).
 1997-11-25 18:27:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 71ace95e12 Updated to the most pressing 1.5 issues. 1997-11-25 18:20:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 580aa8dbc3 Several changes, e.g. restructuring of the intro to be closer to what 
it ought to be.  Maybe the last checkin before 1.5b1 is released.
 1997-11-25 15:34:51 +00:00
Fred Drake cb91e7bbd3 Added the "italic correction" command ("\/") to the list of ignored commands. 
There is at least one of there in the library reference, and this reduces
the warning count.  We *do* know what to do with it!
 1997-11-25 04:06:21 +00:00
Fred Drake e624e0f99e Removed leading comment about this being "introductory" documentation; 
compared to most, I'd say this section is fairly thorough.

Fixed \indexsubitem definitions for symbol and token module sub-documents.
Perhaps these should be moved to their own files, but they're awefully
small.
 1997-11-25 04:04:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f259efe3d9 Get rid of math mode in some places. 1997-11-25 01:00:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3e1e274d0b Don't use $math$ mode to typeset a simple '>' sign. Use \code, not \samp. 1997-11-25 00:43:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9d62e80e46 Remove strange use of $math$ mode to produce a backslash. 1997-11-25 00:35:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5b7220f7ee Oops, did the previous delete the wrong way. 1997-11-25 00:05:12 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d5da7a63c1 Get rid of last traces of module 'audio' 1997-11-24 23:59:31 +00:00

Guido van Rossum e084f0beea Add description for some modules that have been added since this intro 
section was last revised...
 1997-11-20 21:03:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3472026347 Add description for Queue; fix typo (whichdbm should be whichdb). 1997-11-20 21:00:03 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 17c8e781c0 libqueue.tex: Documentation for the Queue.py module. 
Makefile: Add dependency on libqueue.tex

lib.tex: Place the libqueue.tex documentation just after libthread.tex
since Queue depends on thread support in Python.
 1997-11-20 19:54:16 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 4552f3d6de In the description of sub(), give a better explanation of the 
interface when repl is a function.  Also give a simple example of
using a function repl.
 1997-11-20 00:15:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e4a93bc4b3 Fix the release date for 1.5b1 to be Nov. 26 1997-11-18 15:32:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d9a26ff9ca Add support for NULL macro (like UNIX, ABC etc.). 1997-11-18 15:31:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2974f0fe9a Add xmllib; remove (slow) from description of htmllib. 1997-11-18 15:30:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7336935e4c dis is now documented; bisect is deemed useful. 1997-11-18 15:30:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f7790c608d Document s.connect_ex(), which does not raise an exception on error. 1997-11-18 15:29:20 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 364e643fdd Clarified reference to old profiler. 
Mention conversion to Perl-style regular expressions.
 1997-11-18 15:28:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5de64883d8 Added doc for errorcode dictionary. 1997-11-18 15:27:51 +00:00
Guido van Rossum eae121e436 Adding dis and xmllib docs 1997-11-18 15:11:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a10768ae44 Docu for xmllib.py, by Sjoerd Mullender. 1997-11-18 15:11:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b62b6d145e Docu for dis.py, written by Martin von Loewis. 1997-11-18 15:10:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9d37a4d332 Small wording change about global and local trace functions. 1997-10-27 19:57:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 040e565261 Ooops, found too more references to old conditions on floating point values. 1997-10-24 21:15:55 +00:00
Fred Drake ae18e9fc1c Removed obsolete discussion on _xdr helper module. 1997-10-24 21:14:36 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d7dc2eb708 Put {} around \^ in sets to force latex2html to do the right thing... 1997-10-22 03:03:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 828a0bdb1d count() now has a 4th parameter too. Also rephrased the docs for find 
to use the same, better words to explain start/end.
 1997-10-20 22:40:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 871cf161f1 Documented exc_info(); also updated exc_type and last_type docs. 1997-10-20 22:38:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 9e63faaa66 Change Python-as-executable-script example to use "#! /usr/bin/env python" 
since that's now the recommended way to do it.

In pickling discussion, change "code{pickle}" (not missing leading "\") to
"This" since the immediately preceeding sentence ended with the same text
(with the proper "\").  Fixes a formatting bug and an odd glitch in the
writing.
 1997-10-15 14:37:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 2950b2d881 Restore the \seealso formatting that got lost when I updated the math 
module documentation.
 1997-10-13 22:06:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 9dcc5a94c5 Add support for ctypedesc, cvardesc, seealso, seemodule, seetext. 
This seems to take care of everything but tables and equations.
 1997-10-13 22:04:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 7cd60442b4 Remove macpath entry -- it is already documented. 1997-10-13 22:02:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 5451d67dd9 socket_type ==> SocketType 1997-10-13 21:31:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 120ac20c40 Remove superfluous comman from between "not" and "in" when describing the 
"not in" operator.
 1997-10-13 20:48:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 36fbe76a45 struct _frozen: 
Use spaces instead of tabs to indent structure definition; tabs don't
	work in tex/latex.

PyImport_FrozenModules:
	struct _freeze ==> struct _frozen
 1997-10-13 18:18:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6cd7ecb10b The sequence behavior is now on the Exception root class rather than 
on the StandardError class.
 1997-10-07 14:41:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fdacc58bfe Added pointer to api.tex and note about the out-of-date-ness of this 
document.
 1997-10-07 14:40:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 18b0db3b53 Set Oct 10 as the release date. 1997-10-07 14:39:43 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9faf4c57b0 Change title to {Python/C API Reference Manual}; remove \bcode \ecode 
which appears to be out of fashion in this file.
 1997-10-07 14:38:54 +00:00

is mostly concentrated in a generalized find_module() and the new

obsolete.
 1997-09-09 20:53:37 +00:00

Guido van Rossum f01dff7e93 Give in to Mike Meyer -- add *both* lib/python1.5/packages and

compromise.
 1997-09-03 22:05:54 +00:00

Fred Drake 289f97d0ea Changed description of SchedParams() in the following way:

	     ^--- note case ----^

The fixed version matches the signature.  Changed "\bar{Besocial} gives ..."
to "The \var{besocial} flag gives ..." to keep from starting the sentence
with a lowercase token.

(The \bar{} --> \var{} change was required to keep LaTeX happy.)

 1997-01-11 17:04:56 +00:00

when missing).
 1997-01-02 19:48:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 591bbb1572 (libformatter.tex): Document the flush() method on the writer. 1996-12-31 20:51:42 +00:00

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.
 1996-12-23 23:34:17 +00:00
Barry Warsaw e5a43a405d Describe open(2) exported constants 1996-12-19 23:50:34 +00:00

module.
 1996-12-19 12:20:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 39900421bf Added pointer to framereader distribution. 1996-12-18 19:55:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3c7b2dc02c Added docs for Jeremy's resource module. 1996-12-18 18:37:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 63a0c376ea (libunix.tex): Changed two occurances of "Unix" to "\UNIX{}". 1996-12-16 22:12:33 +00:00
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[].
 1996-10-25 22:13:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 61f9139125 Added disclaimer. 1996-10-25 15:40:20 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 7e42caba01 Patches for Mac module docs by Jack 1996-10-15 14:37:31 +00:00
Fred Drake acc8754031 (partparse.py): Small change by Sjoerd to improve handle of X11 extension 
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 
formatting strings.
 1996-10-11 16:33:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1dde7b737c Typos detected by Sjoerd 1996-10-11 15:57:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 11b6d24da0 (partparse.py): Small fix to do_datadesc(): in some odd cases the name of 
data item was omitted, which also affected the indentation of the
	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
Fred Drake e1980ed1f8 (lib.tex, libwww.tex): Include the sgmlib chapter before the htmllib 
chapter to better reflect the relationship between the modules.
 1996-10-09 14:36:54 +00:00

and implementation variants.
 1996-10-08 21:53:33 +00:00

Fred Drake 42439ad738 (libsgmllib.tex): Revised documentation for SGML support. 1996-10-08 21:51:49 +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
Guido van Rossum e86cbc43f2 Protect '&' signs with '\' in description of PyNumber_Coerce. 1996-09-27 17:28:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3f247ade66 Nits corrected by Fred 1996-09-27 17:11:24 +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 
organization.
