Fred Drake 1cb560a653 Do more to be compatible with Windows/CygWin. Make error messages more
informative when a child process dies with an error.

This is a variation of parts of SF patch #429611.
2001-08-10 20:17:09 +00:00
Fred Drake aebbca3b61 Job.__init__(): Only create the builddir directory if it will be used (by
building the HTML or text documentation).  There is no need to create
    it for other formats.

Job.build_html():  The builddir parameter is always passed in, so it need
    not be optional.
2001-07-17 14:46:09 +00:00
Fred Drake bfd80dd8c0 Miscellaneous code cleanups.
Make sure we do not lose track of the build directory -- convert a user-
supplied directory to an absolute path.
2001-06-23 03:06:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 964c074a62 Hack to make this play nicer with *old* versions of Python: os.path.abspath()
was not available in Python 1.5.1.  (Yes, a user actually tried to use this
with that version of Python!)
2001-05-29 16:10:07 +00:00
Fred Drake af922187ae Job.build_html(): Be more robust in ensuring about.html exists; copying
the right HTML file to the name about.html is needed even if the
    --numeric option was not given -- some other name may have been
    assigned due to some non-determinism in the algorithm use to perform
    name allocation.  ;-(

This closes the "About..." portion of SF bug #420216.
2001-05-09 04:03:16 +00:00
Fred Drake cfef0096f9 Job.build_html(): When formatting HTML into more than one HTML page, and
not doing the \label{foo} --> foo.html transformation (--numeric was
    specified on the command line), still look to see if there is an
    "About this document..." node and copy that to "about.html", since the
    page footers use that as the target.
2001-03-02 16:26:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 50d1fcf61c Add an option allowing the user to determine where the output HTML is built.
Provide a way to set the paper size by name instead of only supporting
separate options for each size.
2001-02-19 19:18:09 +00:00
Fred Drake b258bedb13 Jon Nelson <jnelson@users.sourceforge.net>:
Make the documentation tools compatibile with Python 2.0.
2001-02-12 15:30:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e3f2752c5 Improve diagnostic output when an external command returns a non-zero exit
code, showing the transcript for that command.

This closes SF bug #129740.
2001-02-04 15:20:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 5599441bbf Make HTML the default output format, since that is what people actually
want most of the time.
2001-01-30 22:30:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 42181dba8e Added a --global-module-index option to specify a (possibly relative) URL
to the Global Module Index for a set of documents.  This is used to include
a reference to the global index from the per-document module indexes, so
that it is just a little easier to find.

(Someone suggested this, but I do not remember who.  Please let me know if
it was you -- thanks!)
2001-01-09 22:02:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 9dce7b3737 Make sure we clean up the index data each time it is written by LaTeX. 2000-11-03 02:57:31 +00:00
Fred Drake df84facf0d .use_latex(): Make this a little smarter so that it only runs pdflatex
once if all the temporary files are available from building
               a DVI file.  This can avoid two runs of pdflatex.
2000-09-20 05:49:09 +00:00
Fred Drake f3d41272c6 Before running LaTeX2HTML, remove all the HTML files from the output
directory.  This avoids acretion of HTML from previous runs which may
have a new name; this would have avoided a lot of the packaging problems
related to changing labels from the old distutils documentation.
2000-09-14 22:25:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 239e1d5e50 Fix mkhowto so that the bookmarks for the PDF work for both "howto" and
"manual" class documents.
2000-09-05 21:45:11 +00:00
Fred Drake dfa539d770 Add --up-link and --up-title parameters to allow linking the top level
of the generated document to an external index.  These correspond to the
-up_url and -up_title parameters of LaTeX2HTML.
2000-08-31 06:58:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 8bc627a402 Add --l2h-init option, which can augment the standard LaTeX2HTML
initialization with additional Perl files.  This can be given more
than once.
2000-08-31 06:14:38 +00:00
Fred Drake fcb8725de5 Add a --style option to allow specifying an alternate CSS style sheet for
HTML generation; the machinery was there but no option to set it was
defined.

Simplify some of the path-math since we can assume a recent version of
Python.
2000-08-29 18:15:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 1915754ec9 Small changes to reflect changes in LaTeX2HTML support for newer versions
of LaTeX2HTML.
2000-07-31 17:47:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 498c18f4d0 Only use one initialization file for LaTeX2HTML; more recent versions only
use the last one specified on the command line instead of all of them.
Smaller changes to reflect updated support.
2000-07-24 23:03:32 +00:00
Fred Drake cc7371c437 Removed --l2h-config option; it introduced unnecessary complexity and
is not needed anywhere.
2000-06-29 23:01:40 +00:00
Fred Drake ba82878a3b Merged changes from the 1.5.2p2 release. 2000-04-03 04:19:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 9a257b4fd4 Added --numeric option, similar to mkhtml.sh. 2000-03-31 20:27:36 +00:00
Fred Drake cf1b06ec47 Added --about option to specify the file to load "About this
document..." text from, defaulting to ../html/about.dat.
1999-09-23 16:55:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 52ea0ce977 Added --image-type option to allow use of either GIF or PNG images.
Job.warning():  New method; use this instead of writing to sys.stderr
                directly.  Ensures warnings are also sent to the log
                file.

Job.log():  New method; write a message to the log file.  Use from
            .message() and .warning().
1999-09-22 19:55:35 +00:00
Fred Drake a871c2e747 Make it work for "manual" documents as well as "howto" documents.
This still doesn't understand anything about multiple source files or
checking time dependencies.
1999-05-06 19:37:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 4437fdf265 Make sure latex2html doesn't produce a hard link between foo/foo.html
and foo/index.html.  Make a copy instead.  (Appearantly some tar
openers on non-Unixlike systems can't handle hard links.)
1999-05-03 14:29:07 +00:00
Fred Drake aaa0d9a3a4 Record the value of $TEXINPUTS in the transcript.
Job.message():  New method.  Takes care of writing a message to the
		user and adding it to the transcript.
1999-03-03 21:57:58 +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.
