contexts.
This closes SF bug #525684.

Fred Drake 6ca33771f8 Add a new environment for whole-paragraph (or longer) notes & warnings. 2001-12-14 22:50:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 5ed35fd149 Add a new environment in the Python docs markup: seealso*. This is similar
to seealso, but does not add the "See also:" header or put the content in a
box in the HTML version.

Updated the description of \seeurl to better indicate when it should be used;
the old description was written before we had \seetitle.
2001-11-30 18:09:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 64a5aaf05c Describe the content given as the parameter to the \note and \warning macros

Fred Drake 92350b3a1f New markup: \note{...} and \warning{...} 2001-10-09 18:01:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 203d91a461 Note that the colon following a mail header name should not be included
when using the \mailheader markup.
Change a couple of inline examples to show the markup rather than the
result.
2001-09-26 18:43:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 8b3a7b58b9 Move the \mailheader description to the right place.
Clarify the \mimetype description; it can be used to refer to a part of a
MIME type name, so \mimetype{text} or \mimetype{plain} can be used, not
just \mimetype{text/plain}.

of work, but mostly it needs time spent doing the work to make the
generated XML useful.
2001-07-09 16:04:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 432cef0d0b Add new material on some markup that will be checked in shortly. This
includes some minor new inline markup and markup to generate hyperlinked
grammar productions.

Adopt a "style guide" document -- this beats writing our own and means
we'll have a chance at consistency, without having to make it all up
ourselves.
