Third attempt at documenting an installation scheme; this one feels like
...
it could work--reasonably short and straightforward to document, but
flexible enough that it will be able to handle more than just modules
and extensions in the future.

omission noted on c.l.py by Aahz Maruch.

rewrite_descriptor(): Fixup conversion of arguments (simpler).
...
join_adjacent_elements(): Hack to merge adjacent instances of
<option>; the source \programopt with GNU-style long options
created problems with LaTeX2HTML; this removes the evil
workaround, which should never be necessary from structured
documents(!).
1999-11-23 21:52:03 +00:00

Don't rename \var to <varname>; DocBook is too verbose here.

\programopt, \envvar.
Add \filenq --> <filename quote="no"> (it has to go somewhere, at
least for now).
1999-11-23 21:48:41 +00:00

0d6bf0e544
When generating the top-level index to the documents, make sure some

oddball things from the LaTeX get translated to rational values. This
is mostly to keep things from looking broken in a development tree
when they're not.

\programopt: New macro, used to mark command-line parameters in the
...
text. Looks like \program.
\citetitle: New macro, used to mark titles of cited works (like the
names of the Python manuals). Accepts & discards an
optional parameter that is only used by the HTML
formatter. Looks like \emph.
1999-11-09 17:02:11 +00:00
c9f5fe0d1c
do_cmd_programopt(): New function, similar to do_cmd_program().

Module/script to parse the reference count data file and make the

information accessible to Python.
When run as a script, just dumps the information back out in the data

different functions.
Still need to apply the information somehow.

attribute; stick the CLASS on an existing element.
Use a variable for the name of the file to get "About this

Added --image-type option to allow use of either GIF or PNG images.
...
Job.warning(): New method; use this instead of writing to sys.stderr
directly. Ensures warnings are also sent to the log
file.
Job.log(): New method; write a message to the log file. Use from
.message() and .warning().
1999-09-22 19:55:35 +00:00
191439ab6b
Some updates to allow ../tools/mkhowto to add various bits to the
...
supplemental l2h initialization file it creates and still get all the
right behavior. In particular, it can change the image type and icon
location and not get inconsistent results.
Some code to help suppress various navigational pages; this might be
interesting when generating HTML to create HTML Help documents, since
the navigation support creates confusing hits in the full text
search. HTML Help also provides a lot of the navigational
infrastructure, so duplicating it makes it more tedious to use.

e6fb1c4bd3
Added documentation for inet_aton() and inet_ntoa(), from Ben
...
Gertzfield <che@debian.org> (with minor changes).

since these weren't in for the 1.5.2 release.)
1999-09-16 15:50:00 +00:00
0ba58158c5
Added "import string" to a couple of examples that describe string
...
module functions, to clarify that the import is not automatic.

Add a new section describing what each of the tools does, in general
terms.

Clarified start parameter to Py_CompileString, documented

<description> elements. Add another sanity
check to make sure a special case only becomes
involved for <opcodedesc> and <opcodedescni>
elements.
fixup_paras_helper(): Clean up control flow.
Everywhere that checks node.nodeType==ELEMENT and node.tagName now
just check node.nodeName (nodeName is guaranteed for all node types

non-ELEMENT nodes). Simplifies a number of tests and improves
readability in a lot of places.

Re-write in Python for portability. About 30% slower, but who cares?!
1999-08-03 17:54:39 +00:00
82ebc27357
remap_element_names(): Only used for things that the new conversion
...
engine in latex2esis.py can do, so discard it.
paragraph detection & markup: Handle some of the list-like
environments properly, picking up paragraphs inside
list items. (Only changed a few element-sets used for
recognition.)
fixup_refmodindexes_chunk(): Use the right attribute to determine the
module a <ref*modindex/> element is referring to.
convert(): Don't call remap_element_names(); it was removed.
1999-08-03 15:32:48 +00:00
2f6ec9ca81
The new conversion engine supports more of the table re-writing than
...
the old one, so use it.
1999-08-03 15:27:37 +00:00

9f2b42080a
Re-implementation of mktarball.sh as a more portable Python script;
...
with a more descriptive name.
Allow creation of multiple archive formats with a single pass; useful
in this case since it uses a fresh export/checkout from CVS to ensure
that the tree is "clean" (no build turds, saved files, &c). Use --all
to create all supported formats.
1999-08-02 20:19:17 +00:00

same as sys.stderr.write(), but bwrite() will make it
bold if stderr is a tty (for visibility).
Use these everywhere instead of accessing
sys.stderr.write() directly.
find_all_child_elements(): Find all elements by type name that are
immediate children of another.
cleanup_synopses(): Receive both the document and fragment objects as
parameters; if only the document is passed, synopsis
information is never found since it's in the fragment!
build_para(): Add a chunk of code to ensure that a newline always
follows the </para> end-tag. Not really important, but
makes presentation consistent for authoring/
maintenance.
fixup_bifuncindexes_chunk(): Use find_all_child_elements() instead of
find_all_elements() so we don't work with too many
levels at once; that could cause DOM exceptions with
the <elem>.removeChild() method.

4fbdf9779c
Mostly minor changes.
...
Removed some obsolete commented-out code.
Merged BaseConversion into Conversion since there's only one
conversion process now.
Remove push/pop of output stream; it's no longer needed.
1999-08-02 14:35:25 +00:00

This doesn't need to do nearly as much for the new conversion, so

simplify.
1999-08-02 14:32:46 +00:00

A few small improvements to the conversion.

Added a few more passes through the document fragment. Not actually

very interesting.
1999-07-29 22:23:19 +00:00
96e4a06fa6
Massive changes.
...
Separate the Conversion class into a base and a subclass; the subclass
is pretty minimal but the separation is useful for....
NewConversion: New class that implements a somewhat different
approach to the conversion. This uses a table of
instances (rather than tuples) that have more
information than the tuples used for the older
conversion procedure. This allows a lot more control
over the conversion, and it seems to be pretty
stable.
TableEntry,
Parameter: New classes that are used to build the conversion
specification used by NewConversion.
TableParser: xmllib.XMLParser subclass that builds a conversion
specification from an XML document.
load_table(): Convenience function that loads a table from a file.
main(): Added flags --new and --old; these select which conversion is
used. The default is --new.
Several fixes have been made in the old conversion as well; these were
done before writing & switching to the new conversion, and should be
archived.
The next checkin of this file will discard the old conversion; is is
kept in this checkin to allow it to be retrieved if needed, and to
avoid lossing the bugfixes that have been made to it in the interim.
1999-07-29 22:22:13 +00:00

Some minor cleanup.

Conversion specification, used by a new path through latex2esis.py.
...
The specific markup conversion is coded here instead of an even more
cryptic table in the code of latex2esis.py.
1999-07-29 22:03:11 +00:00
478a265057
Minor update.
1999-07-29 22:01:39 +00:00
c35367e439
Change an {\em ...} to \var{...} and a {\bf ...} to \program{...} (the
...
new markup makes sense in context).
These allow the SGML/XML conversion updates to work, & should not have
still been in there anyway.
1999-07-29 13:56:41 +00:00
4ef3ea0cc4
Add support for bzip2 compression.

New target: distfiles, create all distribution archives, regardless of

Make the default target xml instead of sgml.
1999-07-22 13:57:12 +00:00
7dbde51f97
Make the default target xml instead of sgml.
...
Use a temporary file to pass results from latex2esis.py to
docfixer.py; this makes for better error detection by make (if the
first pipeline stage fails, make wasn't catching it).

363d67c2e6
Move some misc. comments from the example section to the main section.
...
Use the lowercase versions of the method names in the example, since
that's what's documented (Greg Stein's suggestion). Add a blank line
after the import line for clarity.

Move the setting for secnumdepth to the document classes; make the numbering

Clarify the example by explicitly importing the fcntl module -- this
...
avoid being fooled into thinking that fcntl and FCNTL are the same
thing -- they aren't! (fcntl is the extension, FCNTL.py is h2py
output that defines all the constants).
(XXX The example is still weird -- I think there's a more portable way
to do locking now. That's for someone else to fix...)
