 2000-04-10 18:50:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 37f41565a8 PyErr_Format(): 
Remove statement that the return value is always NULL; this is

 2000-04-10 18:26:45 +00:00
Fred Drake db2764d941 The reference count field for PyErr_NoMemory() and

 2000-04-10 18:25:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 5e872de6c7 If the refcount field is "null", that's ok; the value will be None. 2000-04-10 18:24:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 729eca1b9d For functions which return a PyObject* but use "null" for the 
reference count field, state that the return value is always NULL.

 2000-04-10 18:23:47 +00:00

 2000-03-22 01:00:23 +00:00
Greg Ward 295765630a Third attempt at documenting an installation scheme; this one feels like 
it could work--reasonably short and straightforward to document, but
flexible enough that it will be able to handle more than just modules
and extensions in the future.
 2000-03-18 15:11:50 +00:00

(Fred, please check.)
 2000-02-16 21:13:37 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 41d84631ba Document the API changes to the nntplib module (exceptions become 
classes, NNTP.__init__() grows a new optional argument to set reader
mode on the server).
 2000-02-10 20:26:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 2bb43a20ce The dircmp module is now obsolete. 2000-02-03 15:27:26 +00:00

Fred Drake 645af9fedd rewrite_descriptor(): Fixup conversion of arguments (simpler). 
join_adjacent_elements():  Hack to merge adjacent instances of
        <option>; the source \programopt with GNU-style long options
        created problems with LaTeX2HTML; this removes the evil
        workaround, which should never be necessary from structured
        documents(!).
 1999-11-23 21:52:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 8a3b4495df Don't rename \var to <varname>; DocBook is too verbose here. 
Do adopt DocBook's <command>, <option>, <envar> names for \program,
\programopt, \envvar.

Add \filenq --> <filename quote="no"> (it has to go somewhere, at
least for now).
 1999-11-23 21:48:41 +00:00
Fred Drake d81b1b0ffa Set the date and version to reflect the actual status, not the last 
released status.  Has to be changed just before publishing anyway.
 1999-11-18 20:57:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 0d6bf0e544 When generating the top-level index to the documents, make sure some 
oddball things from the LaTeX get translated to rational values.  This
is mostly to keep things from looking broken in a development tree
when they're not.
 1999-11-18 20:56:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 7424242c1c Removed last XXX comment; no further action needed on this one. 1999-11-17 16:09:57 +00:00

Fred Drake 91f31eab1c Added citetitle and programopt. 
Made var get renamed to varname (more like DocBook).
Other names should probably be changed as well; still waiting for the
DocBook book to arrive.

Fred Drake 7b8195a209 \programopt: New macro, used to mark command-line parameters in the 
text.  Looks like \program.

\citetitle:   New macro, used to mark titles of cited works (like the
              names of the Python manuals).  Accepts & discards an
              optional parameter that is only used by the HTML
              formatter.  Looks like \emph.

Fred Drake c9f5fe0d1c do_cmd_programopt(): New function, similar to do_cmd_program(). 
do_cmd_citetitle():  New function.  Extracts one optional and one
                     required parameter.  If the optional one is
                     provided, it is used a URL (or relative URL) and
                     the text of the required parameter is turned into
                     a hyperlink.
