Fred Drake 74947ac473 Modify command descriptions to use \optional{} instead of ad-hoc markup.
There are still weirdnesses, but less of them.

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().

Fred Drake 48022db400 "Unix" --> "\UNIX{}"
Added index references to referred-to modules.

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.

Fred Drake 8d0ff317bc Simplify markup. 1998-01-09 22:27:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 57b935d0d6 The resource module has been documented; remove from list. 1998-01-09 22:25:10 +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 aa5dba026a Add index entry for reference to the math module. 1998-01-09 21:30:03 +00:00
Fred Drake d327a8dddf Typographical nits: Always set parameter names in \var{} in the running text. 1998-01-09 21:26:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 6b3ed7f581 Markup consistency in the mapping object interface description. 1998-01-09 20:36:44 +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 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
Fred Drake fcda560e81 Fix a typo (the word "a" was spelled "c"!).
Added index entries & \label{} constructs.
1998-01-07 22:05:25 +00:00
Fred Drake c9a32ab26b Normalize some markup.
Use \file{} instead of \code{} for a directory name (Tools/freeze).

Consistently use "()" at the end of a function name in running text.
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 0b1337d674 Add module index before the general index. 1998-01-02 02:59:09 +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 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

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 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 a007c13094 Reduce warning count from partparse.py.
Removed BaseHTTPServer.py from list of undocumented modules.

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 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 cc97454987 Added missing "\" to "var{P}.\var{M}" in load_module() description. 1997-12-29 17:16:24 +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).
