Guido van Rossum a8a1b9bc65 There's no point in mentioning F6 as an alternate EOF on DOS -- it 
doesn't work on modern Windows systems, and Control-Z works
everywhere.
 1998-06-22 14:28:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 13c8ef62e6 Say a bit more about .pyc and .pyo files. 1998-05-29 19:12:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 7238988657 Fixed example to load the startup file from a script (didn't test for the 
file's existance).

Removed some XXX comments about extension modules which support pickling.

Added text from AMK about the readline and rlcompleter modules.

Thanks, AMK!

Fred Drake c303e67f3c The built-in exceptions are not still strings, so make no claims about them. 1998-04-12 02:48:47 +00:00
Fred Drake e7957184d2 Change \sectcode to logical markup. 1998-04-04 07:17:47 +00:00
Fred Drake a594bafde7 Normalized case rules in section headings. 
Moved stuff from "Recent Additions to 1.1" to "More on Defining Functions".
This means there's now a short section on "Defining Functions" immediately
followed by a long section "More on Defining Functions."
 1998-04-03 05:16:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 391564f10f Small markup nits, a few grammatical fixes, and a clarification of the binary 
mode for files under MacOS.

Updated the traffic figure for c.l.p in the "What Now?" chapter; see comments.
 1998-04-01 23:11:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 6659c30b67 Convert LaTeX support to create a new class of documents. HTML generation 
now requires LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 or newer (& and is still in progress).

This means that doing things to change the formatting of the manuals (at the
"normal user" level, like A4 paper), can happen in just one place, rather
than in each document file.
 1998-03-03 22:02:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 6c2176eea7 Added \label{}s for logical addressing. 1998-02-26 21:47:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 8842e867af Remove \bcode / \ecode everywhere. 
Make all the indentations in {verbatim} environments have column 0 of the
listing in column 0 of the file.

Remove pagenumbering / pagestyle cruft.

Use more logical and less physical markup.
 1998-02-13 07:16:30 +00:00
Fred Drake ed68854b40 "lists objects" --> "list objects" (Section "More on Lists".) 1998-02-11 22:29:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 8d486b1779 In the appendix, all sections were marked as subsections, and so had section 
numbers "A.0.#".  Fixed.
 1998-02-11 22:12:18 +00:00
Fred Drake ca6567fb3f Use \url{} to mark URLs. 1998-01-22 20:44:18 +00:00
Fred Drake af8a015c93 Consistency: "{\bf ...}" ==> "\strong{...}" 
"{\em ...}" ==> "\emph{...}"

	      Not at all sure what to do with "{\rm ...}".
	      Leaving it for now.
 1998-01-14 14:51:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 4d4f9e726a Removed \mytableofcontents; just use \tableofcontents. 1998-01-13 22:25:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 3f20592c3e Consistency: 
"Unix" ==> "\UNIX{}"

"C" ==> "\C{}"

"C++" ==> "\Cpp{}"
 1998-01-13 18:56:38 +00:00
Fred Drake dca8792b52 Added openright option the the \documentclass{} for each of the manuals. 1998-01-13 16:53:23 +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
Guido van Rossum dccc298e3d Took out some disclaiming text (even from the title!). Rewritten 
abstract.  Alas, I didn't get to do anything else before the release
:-(
 1997-12-30 04:40:25 +00:00
Fred Drake eee08cdd54 Make examples consistently use 4-space indentation. 
Use \file{} for file names.

Prefer \code{blat} and \emph{blat} to {\tt blat} and {\em blat}; this matches
current style in the Library Reference a bit better.

Made the example startup banner current.  The version number should be
bumped before the next release.
 1997-12-04 15:43:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 9e63faaa66 Change Python-as-executable-script example to use "#! /usr/bin/env python" 
since that's now the recommended way to do it.

In pickling discussion, change "code{pickle}" (not missing leading "\") to
"This" since the immediately preceeding sentence ended with the same text
(with the proper "\").  Fixes a formatting bug and an odd glitch in the
writing.
 1997-10-15 14:37:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0245569fd1 New version (interim) by AMK. 1997-07-17 16:21:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 6dc2aae3cd (tut.tex): Normalized all uses of "UNIX" and "{\UNIX}" to use "\UNIX{}", 
per usage needed for GNU info processing.  Based on comments from
	Tamito Kajiyama.
 1996-12-13 21:56:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 76e47f3d75 Change last Ellipses to Ellipsis :-( 1996-11-02 17:05:21 +00:00
Fred Drake fd255e433f (tut.tex): Added matching \normalsize after \small font control command 
(and the contents it was supposed to be affecting).  The latest
	LaTeX2HTML handles these, but didn't close it as expected.  This
	handles that problem and does not affect the PostScript output.
 1996-10-29 15:50:05 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 6a05f951cd Got rid of most XXXes in the News chapter. Bumped the version to 1.4. 1996-10-22 19:27:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 58124880cc A first stab at describing what's new in 1.4. Still many XXX'es left.
