just like we do for mkhowto.
1999-03-04 21:25:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 5f7832d125 Allow many more aspects of the generated page to be parameterized, and

Fred Drake 6b12b1ec1d Switch to the Python version of mkhowto. 1999-03-03 20:27:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 8b88093b95 Re-written mkhowto in Python; this should be at least a little more
portable.

Several things that had been done by running a python script are now a
matter of importing the right module and running a function with a few
parameters.
1999-03-03 20:24:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 749f943a6b process(): New function that contains the "orchestration" of the

1999-03-03 19:25:56 +00:00
Fred Drake aa99a5071e Be a little more friendly for the generation of the text version: for
"blank" navigation icons, use ALT="" instead of ALT="blank"; also add
ALIGN=CENTER for the table, to get a slightly better affect in the
text (the table is full-width, so this doesn't change the appearance
when browsing the HTML).
1999-03-03 16:21:34 +00:00

	using information collected during the initial pass.

process_python_state():  New function. Call all post-processing functions
	defined in this file to avoid having to have too much knowledge of
	the internals for this stuff in l2hinit.perl.

size as normal text.  ;-(  )
