This directory contains the LaTeX source to the Python documentation.
It is not all finished, but good enough to get you started.
1991-01-25 09:29:53 -04:00
The following are the LaTeX source files:
1991-01-25 09:29:53 -04:00
tut.tex The tutorial
1991-11-12 11:40:23 -04:00
lib.tex, lib[1-5].tex The library reference
ref.tex The reference manual
qua.tex, quabib.bib Article published in CWI Quarterly
1991-01-25 09:29:53 -04:00
All except qua.tex use the style option file "myformat.sty". This
contains some simple macro definitions and sets style parameters. You
can easily edit it to change the paper size (the default is European
paper, "A4" or 21 x 29.7 cm).
To format a document, run latex on it, twice, to get the forward
references right, then use dvips and lpr to print it, e.g.:
latex lib
latex lib
dvips lib | lpr
Before calling dvips and lpr, you should really preview the dvi file,
e.g.
xdvi lib
The qua document (which is not user documentation but a somewhat more
abstract review of Python and some work for which it was used) needs
a little more work:
latex qua
latex qua
bibtex qua
latex qua
dvips qua | lpr
