Fred Drake 62364ffb80 - apply SF patch #700798: fixes and cleanups for descriptor info
- use a TeX "tie" to prevent word-wrapping in "section x.y"-like text

Michael W. Hudson 2ab1d08f90 I thought it was common practice to check things compiled before
checking them in?  Oh well, this fixes various obvious mistakes and
changes a subsubsubsection (which doesn't exist) into a subsubsection
(which does).  I'm not sure this matches the intent, but it seems to
read OK on a quick skim.

Michael W. Hudson cfd3884882 This is Richie Hindle's patch
[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers

with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.

Gustavo Niemeyer f955412130 * Doc/ref/ref5.tex
Fixed minor bug preventing documentation compilation.
2002-11-26 18:14:35 +00:00
Tim Peters 5b21df4a5c Repaired inaccuracies in the % docs. In particular, we don't (and can't)
guarantee abs(x%y) < abs(y) in all cases when a float is involved.
math.fmod() should, though, so noted that too.

Bugfix candidate.  Someone should check the LaTeX here first, though.
