Fred Drake f1882422d2 Oops, forgot to remove the individual module indexes for lib & mac now
that there's a Global Module Index; there can be only one!

Fred Drake d2a727feee Hack: make sure LaTeX2HTML doesn't change -- to - in mkhowto
description.
1999-05-27 21:45:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 3aa70d63b9 Document the "pid" attribute of the Popen3 class.
Use memberdesc instead of datadesc to document object attributes.
This gets the index right.
1999-05-27 17:50:59 +00:00
Fred Drake a7ce52b03a Typo reported by Gerry Wiener <wiener@rap.ucar.edu>:
items -> item

The returned list will then have one more items than the number of
non-overlapping occurrences of the separator in the string.
1999-05-27 17:18:08 +00:00
Fred Drake abc8cc63ce Move some \index entries around so we can avoid using empty comments;
empty comments trigger a bug in LaTeX2HTML.

Problem reported by Gerry Wiener <gerry@ucar.edu>.
1999-05-26 16:15:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 82f355a36a Change the example of configuring for large file support under Solaris
to use `getconf LFS_CFLAGS`.  Steve Clift (the author of the section
and large file support) agrees that this is the right thing to do.
1999-05-26 13:03:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 6b330ba857 "proces" --> "process"; reported by Gerry Wiener <gerry@ucar.edu>.
Added some index entries.
1999-05-25 13:42:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 0eb7b2a659 Enhanced docstring and some comments.
_begin_macro_rx:  Fixed RE that didn't properly allow a space after
		  the name of the macro.  This affects the conversion
		  of the tutorial.
1999-05-19 17:37:37 +00:00
Fred Drake c4811d8208 Modify to perform "---" to "&mdash;" conversion outside of
verbatim-like environments.  The list of verbatim-like environments is
a defined by a variable in main().
1999-05-18 17:34:51 +00:00
Fred Drake c41e1e5f5e Remove the "---" to "&mdash;" conversion; this is wrong in verbatim
environments.  Move the conversion to esis2sgml.py.

Fred Drake 338da93734 SET_LINE_NO ==> SET_LINENO

Fred Drake d1fb77970d Document \e, \url.
Add a few more comments about mkhowto.

Based on comments from Albert <hat@se-46.wpa.wtb.tue.nl>.
1999-05-17 16:33:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 4f52867d95 Don't \input boilerplate.tex, fill in the real stuff. 3rd party
documents probably aren't written by Guido.  ;-)
1999-05-17 16:02:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 87f768e20b Attempted to clarify usage of the \declaremodule macro somewhat;
Michael Hudson's documentation for bytecodehacks exhibits incorrect
usage.

Added some comments about how to set up the mkhowto script for use
with documents not contained in the documentation source tree.
1999-05-17 15:22:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 3e4c614c16 define_module(): Check the module type for validity before using.
This reflects the changes made in
		  ../texinputs/python.sty.
1999-05-17 15:00:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 66823029a4 \declaremodule: Typo. 1999-05-17 14:57:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 5bc8d99bce \declaremodule: Make this more robust. Only attempt to add an index
entry based on the module type if the type is known.
		 Otherwise, spit out a warning the the module type
		 parameter was bad and generate a "plain" index entry.

		 Without this, the bad module type was emitted as
		 text.

Problem noticed by processing Michael Hudson's docs for
bytecodehacks.
1999-05-17 14:47:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 8ee593cb46 The conversion temporary files should not be ignored here anymore,
since they shouldn't be here.  Only ignore the output tarballs in this
directory.
1999-05-13 18:57:28 +00:00
Fred Drake dbc2d08ff5 POP3.uidl(): Update description based on comments from Piers Lauder
<piers@cs.su.oz.au>.
1999-05-13 18:48:14 +00:00
Fred Drake dab44682c2 PyCObject_FromVoidPtr(): Clarify that the destr function will only be
called on destruction is non-NULL.
1999-05-13 18:41:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 431f0ce547 Small nits around some of the index entries.
When refering to chapters, use \ref, don't hardcode the chapter
number.
1999-05-13 18:38:11 +00:00
Fred Drake ab03215204 make_index_entry(): Remove. Not only did this override the
l2hinit.perl version of the function (which
		     overrode a version in latex2html), but
		     do_cmd_index() was overridden.  Since
		     do_cmd_index() was the only caller, we can trash
		     this.

define_indexing_macro():  New function used during setup to support
			  more dynamic dispatch for indexing.

process_index_macros():  New function; implement dynamic dispatching
			 of indexing support functions, allowing many
			 targets used in indexing to be shared by
			 multiple index entries.  I.e., something like
			 \index{foo}\bifuncindex{bar} can now share a
			 single target anchor.

These indexing changes reduce the amount of clutter in the generated
HTML files.  In the reference manual, this cuts the number of targets
by 44%.  Targets are less affected when generated by environments
rather than macros.
1999-05-13 18:36:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 76febdf3fd make_index_entry(): Remove. This is overridden in python.perl and
was never called in this incarnation.  The
		     other version is simpler as well.
1999-05-13 16:41:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 7088df4c56 Removed old comments. 1999-05-13 16:20:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 84bd6f3b18 Change the look of \seemodule output to fit in better. 1999-05-11 15:42:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 03c05a5192 Move the "See also:" section so it appears are part of the top HTML
page of the section.

All suggested by Eric Raymond.
1999-05-11 15:14:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 9ade7e0110 Added missing comma, reported by Eric Raymond. 1999-05-11 13:45:37 +00:00
Fred Drake e779d4f03b Lots of adjustments to deal with the document content now being stored
in a fragment rather than the main document object.
1999-05-10 19:36:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 54fb7fb9d0 Some more fixes.
Add controls for some of the esoteric indexing macros.
1999-05-10 19:36:03 +00:00
Fred Drake b894370f6a Fixed some index entries.
In the __coerce__ description, None should be returned if the
conversion is *impossible*, not *possible*.  Reported by Robert Kern
<kernr@ncifcrf.gov>.
1999-05-10 13:43:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 2697694e4a ExtendedEsisBuilder.push(): Override inherited definition. We don't
want to push nodes into the document, but into a document
	fragment, since we're not necesarily working with something
	that's well-formed.
1999-05-07 21:14:28 +00:00
Fred Drake f79acbdaa1 Fix some bugs introduced in the previous checkin. 1999-05-07 21:12:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 96c00b0b5e Define & use a Conversion object. It's still really ugly, but at
least there's a token object in here now!  ;-)
1999-05-07 19:59:02 +00:00
Fred Drake b0bc7f2d6c Updated connect_ex() documentation based on comments in the newgroup
(M.-A. Lemburg and GvR).
