in response to Skip's comments in SF bug #487165.
Make use of string methods instead of string module functions in most places.
Add (and make the default) a way to collapse symbol entries into a single
"Symbols" section in the generated index. This is similar to what makeindex
does, but does not include entries beginning with an underscore.
- Change PREFIX to PREFIXES, which contains a sequence of prefix strings.
This is useful since we want to look for both Py and PY.
- Wrap a long line.
- Collect struct tags as well as typedef names. Since we generally only
use one of the other, that improves coverage.
- Make the script executable on Unix.
This could use a better approach to determine if a symbol is documented,
and could easily avoid keeping the massive string in memory. That would
take time to actually write more code, though, so we'll bail on that
for now.
LaTeX2HTML. This is not safe to do in general (for the reasons LaTeX2HTML
protects against dvips to begin with), but is safe if we do not actually
need to run dvips. Note that we also assume it is safe if the user
specifically requests PostScript generation. See the comments for further
explanation.
Mozilla 0.9.5 can make intelligent use of them. Specifically, this causes
the "Acknowledgements" and "Global Module Index" pages to acquire "up"
links in the Mozilla "Site Navigation Bar".
This partially responds to SF bug #469772.
For the real document element, make sure the prolog is migrated into
the document element so it isn't left stranded.
Make fixup_trailing_whitespace() whitespace do what was really intended.
Add the *desc environments used in the C API manual to the list of
things that can exist at the paragraph level so they don't get wrapped
in <para>...</para>.
whether or not a link will be generated will depend on the link database.
Add a couple of explanatory comments for one of the stranger constructs
(giving input an empty name).
replacement for @DATE@ from a TeX file containing a \date{...} mark
(such as texinputs/boilerplate.tex).
This will be used to re-write the html/index.html.in file instead of
a combination of grep, date, and sed -- this is more portable to non-Unix
platforms.
This solves part of the problem reported in SF patch #429611, but does
not use the suggested patch.
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.
attribute values, and make the logic surrounding the platform
annotations just a little easier to read. Also make the platform
notes appear in the generated page; they were supposed to, but did not.
Add a -F option similar to "cvs commit -F <file>".
Add a -t option to allow specifying the prefix to the directory into which
the docs should be unpacked (useful when I start trying out new styles for
the presentation).
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.
