Fred Drake 643d76d735 Add support for new \pep, \seepep, excclassdesc markup.
Update processing of module synopsis tables (found at the beginning of
most chapters of the library reference) to reflect changes in the
processing pattern of recent versions LaTeX2HMTL.  Requires most
recent change to SynopsisTable.pm.

This does not fix the module index problem.
2000-09-09 06:07:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e607964d1 excclassdesc: New environment. For use in documenting class-based
exceptions which have interesting constructor signatures.

\pep, \seepep:  New macros.  Equivalent to \rfc and \seerfc, but
        referring to the PEP series instead of the Internet RFC
        series of documents.

Fred Drake 66571cc20c Improve a couple of references to the language reference, making them
hyperlinks to relevant sections.

Clarify the conditions under which the "softspace" attribute of file-like
objects can "just work" (with relation to overriding of attribute access
in user-defined classes).

Fred Drake d0726c3cd9 \file is not allowed in section titles -- converting to PDF fails due to
weird macro-expansion issues.  A better solution may be available in the

"manual" class documents.
2000-09-05 21:45:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 8bdf0bf705 Fix PDF generation.
The \\ introduced in the \author in boilerplate.tex broke the PDF
generation because line breaks are not allowed in the "Document Info"
metadata stored in the PDF file.  This changes the line break to
a ", " (comma-space) in that context.
2000-09-05 15:19:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 82de71dae8 Minor nit to make this work a little better with the PDF generation fix.
