From reading the source, it turns out that the setkey() method can
...
take an optional string key, but if key is not given, the method does
nothing! In the rewrite (see upcoming check-in), I left things this
way, but here I document that this is the case.

(libtime.tex): Merged in changes from Tamito Kajiyama.

(For those watching Python CVS messages: I checked in all of
Tamito's other changes, but the mail delivery failed since the

(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

d560605ae6
(Makefile): Added sym links for each manual, i.e., index.html -> lib.html.
...
This makes addressing the manuals a little simpler.
1996-12-06 20:06:37 +00:00
fc8f6f3ed3
(Makefile): The sed hack is needed for all 3 manuals processed by latex2html;
...
the comma must represent a bug in the modified process_command()
function, but I haven't found it yet. This will work for now.
1996-12-06 18:45:30 +00:00

change it), and correct a typo in a comment.
1996-12-06 14:50:58 +00:00
9abe64a395
(libparser.tex): Added note that the line number for a terminal token
...
indicates the line on which the token ends rather than starts
(a side effect of interpreting the parse tree nodes directly).
Maybe I'll fix this for Python 2.0.

1996-11-11 23:03:36 +00:00
b4d4e25a62
(Makefile): Updated comments about using LaTeX2HTML for the library
...
reference. Made the extension to the input files for makeindex
explicit; if not made explicit a directory of the given base
name can cause makeindex to blow up. Specifically, if there is
a directory ./lib/ created by LaTeX2HTML, "makeindex lib" will
fail, but "makeindex lib.idx" will not.
l2h{tut,ext,lib} are now dependent on myformat.perl.
l2h adds ls2lib and removes the non-existant l2href.
1996-11-11 21:03:01 +00:00

(myformat.perl): Simplify generated HTML for "\optional{...}".
1996-11-11 20:51:09 +00:00
b33021b572
(fix_libaux.sed): Hackish little sed script to modify lib.aux to get section
...
numbers right for latex2html for section titles which include
"\sectcode{__.*__}" in the name. Perhaps less general than it should
be, but sufficient.
1996-11-11 20:49:27 +00:00
784c6d3684
(.latex2html-init): Perform some limited setup for the reference manuals;
...
some defaults are set here, but mostly this allows the "\," command
to be used the way it is in the Python documentation.
All future documentation should probably be written with only ","
in the argument lists and not "\,".
1996-11-11 20:46:44 +00:00
9b550d992a
(myformat.sty): Simplify \varvars definition.

of the smaller commands used in the library reference (\e, \optional).

...
for the extending & embedding manual.
1996-10-29 15:56:57 +00:00
eb33c781f3
(myformat.sty, extref.tex): Moved definition of cfuncdesc environment to
...
myformat.sty; having it in extref.tex confuses LaTeX2HTML.
1996-10-29 15:55:08 +00:00
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
abcb38250b
(texi2html.py): Minor improvement to HTML 3.0 output for code examples.

(texi2html.py): Tightened the generated HTML slightly. Added -p option to
...
print section titles even when the debugging output is not enabled.
Added -3 option to generate HTML 3.0 constructs where meaningful.
Removed repititive garbage generation: the old version added simple
descriptive comments after every datadesc/funcdesc/*desc entry:
function(args) -- function of module xxxx
Description....
These comments are no longer generated:
function(args)

(texi2html.py): Use "if __name__ == '__main__':" test. Adjust indentation
...
to 4 spaces per level (no longer 8).
(Makefile): Use .pyc versions of partparse.py and texi2html.py to generate
converted documentation formats. This reduces the startup costs;
probably doesn't affect anyone but me in reality, but helps when
working on the docs.
