Fred Drake 781380c1f8 - "Mac OS" should always include the space 
- comment out documentation for a non-existant feature (--spec-file)
  that the comments indicate isn't clearly needed
- lots of minor markup adjustments to get a more consistent
  presentation

Fred Drake 2a1bc50663 - according to Apple's publication style guide, yes, "Mac people" use 
the term Installer (always capitalized, however)
- generalize the text about the term "installer" in a fairly
  reasonable way

Thomas Heller 63b4dd33c9 Description of description was really confusing, and added some markup. 2002-12-12 19:35:00 +00:00
Thomas Heller 2c3bfc2a1a Raw documentation for the bdist_wininst postinstallation script. 
People are already using it, so these docs are certainly better than
no docs at all. Markup is mostly missing and the layout is probably
ugly, but this can be fixed later.

Question: there are references to MS docs for the CSIDL_... constants
and the IShellLink interface. Are these pointers sufficient, or should
the MS docs reworded and repeated here?

Fred Drake 0e9bfa38b1 Minor markup nits. 2002-11-15 20:34:52 +00:00
Thomas Heller e61f365b0b Document the available command line flags for bdist_wininst, which are 
avaliable in the Python 2.2 branch.

I've left out some flags which are more thought for debugging, if
someone needs them, he can always look at the output of --help.

I'm sure Fred will make some adjustments, so I'll only mark this as a
2.2 bugfix candidate.

There are more options available in the current CVS bdist_wininst,
I will document them after this is in.
 2002-11-15 20:13:26 +00:00
Thomas Heller 36343f63fe Correct typo: the option is 'formats' not 'format'. 2002-11-15 19:20:56 +00:00

Fred Drake 17f690f96b Minor changes to match the style guide. 2001-07-14 02:14:42 +00:00
Fred Drake a09262e860 Comment out section titles for sections that have not been written yet; 
there is no need to clutter a reader's life with those useless things.

Make the snippets of Python code conform to the standard style.

Suppress the "Contents" page for HTML; it is not needed for small documents
in the online environment since LaTeX2HTML generates lots of tables of links
anyway.

Various markup consistency nits.

Fred Drake f2502adfc1 Fix markup so this document will format. 2001-02-19 19:14:50 +00:00
Thomas Heller 5f52f7230c Checked in with Andrew's blessing, I leave the comments with which 
this was posted to distutils-sig in.

Here is what I've hacked together over some spare time
at the weekend. I would appreciate feedback, as I've told
before I'm neither a great author, nor native english speaker,
nor anything else.

Mostly I've completed (and written) docs for bdist_wininst
(where I'm an experert for), also I've started some stuff
for the data_files and scripts option.

Should I continue in this way? Would others like to jump in?
 2001-02-19 17:48:03 +00:00

Fred Drake 0ac000cd54 Updates to reflect pending changes to the XML conversion process. 2000-11-22 16:42:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 78489a362e Do not use \verb in the Python documentation -- it makes parsing the LaTeX 
sources more difficult and other tools do not always work well with it.
Since we have better markup for this case, just fix it.
 2000-11-22 16:06:16 +00:00
