Fred Drake 1d3e6c15ce Fix whitespace in example of bad indentation: a comment indicated that one
line was not indented at all, so the example is no longer indented at all.
All of the errors being shown remain.

Typo: characteru --> character
2001-12-11 17:46:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 41c6719fe4 Put the keywords back in alphabetical order. Apparently somebody
didn't use reswords.py, as the comment clearly states. :-(

Fred Drake c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

2001-08-30 20:51:59 +00:00
Fred Drake c0cf726d8c Add material about the "r" and "u" prefixes for string literals; should

conversion.

Fred Drake a7d608d1cf "Thin" version of floor division docs: add // to the list of operators
and //= to the list of other delimiter tokens.

I'll work on it again when it's not so late...
2001-08-08 05:37:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 9079164bdf Removed unnecessary section "Unicode literals"; all the discussion is
already present in the "String literals" section, including comments on
the "u" prefix and the additional escape sequences used for Unicode.

This relates to SF bug #442526.
2001-07-20 15:33:23 +00:00

2001-07-20 14:32:28 +00:00
Fred Drake cb4638a278 Change the grammar productions to use the new productionlist environment;
this supports a hyperlinked version of the grammar that can make tracking
down details and definitions a little easier.

Fred Drake 2ed27d3189 Note that readframes() returns data in linear format, even if the original
is encoded in u-LAW format.  Based on suggestion from Anthony Baxter
<anthony_baxter@users.sourceforge.net>.
