Updated docs to list all the new methods and functions. The docs are
...
now complete, but probably still not very helpful or friendly.
Note: two very large tables (of key names, and of character names) were
added; these tables format terribly, and need some reworking.

The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mention
...
that before) in the previous patch has one problem; rint() is not in
the C math library on all platforms (e.g. not for VC++). Make it
conditional on HAVE_RINT.
2000-05-11 18:42:27 +00:00

The intent is that this diff adds a link to the rfc822 module doc and

Added link to the MIME FAQ, so people can more easily get more
information about the subject of the module.

Eric Raymond:
...
(1) Added and documented the capability for shlex to handle
lexical-level inclusion and a stack of input sources. Also, the input
stream member is now documented, and the constructor takes an optional
source-filename. The class provides facilities to generate error
messages that track file and line number.
(2) Add a convenience function to generate C-compiler style error
leaders.
2000-05-01 20:14:47 +00:00

2000-05-01 16:18:22 +00:00

\file and \filenq should not be used in section titles; they are not
