SF bug #217195.
Not sure if chomp() is correct, but chop() definitely has problems.
This change seems to have no ill effects.
Backport candidate if Fred agrees.
default when used for 3rd-party docs. This requires the standard Python docs
to specify a location, but they are a bit of a special case in sharing one set
of icons among several documents.
directories clean where the packages are unpacked. Each package now
contains a single directory, Python-Docs-<version>/, which contains the
files for that version of the documentation.
Closes SF feature request #567576.
This patch adds Milan Zamazal's conversion script and
modifies the mkinfo script to build the info doc files
from the LaTeX sources. Currently, the mac, doc and
inst TeX files are not handled.
Explicitly checks for GNU Emacs 21.
to do the inplace-edit with a backup file. A quick test leads me to
believe this is sufficient to allow building the documentation on Cygwin;
a full test is in progress.
distinct top-level node. Before they were all nested under an artificial
top-level node, uselessly chewing up horizontal space, and ensuring that
the only thing the user saw in the TOC upon opening the file was a single
collapsed top-level folder.
HTML (or, at least, proper in its view). The TOC file is now identical
to what the HTML compiler itself generates, except for whitespace and
a glitch identified below. The pretty-printing done by prechm.py is
pretty much destroyed for now; if you need it pretty-printed, just make
the Help Compiler save the files (it's got its own idea of pretty-
printing anyway).
Glitch: The title of Ref Man "2.1.6 Blank lines" shows up as a blank
for now. This is because the relevant entry in ref/index.html contains
nested anchors, and pychm really has no idea what to do with that. I
hacked it for now to avoid any error messages or worse insanity, and
filed a bug report against the docs.
methods to squash code duplication. Simplified several overly complex
chunks of logic. Built output strings more with string interpolation
instead of infix '+'. Added comments. Exploited recent Python features
(chiefly bool and augmented assignment).
to reference fields via names instead of meaningless little integers.
This turned up one case where the wrong little integer was being used,
in informative progress output. Fixed that too.
+ Increased size of the window the user sees the first time.
+ Arranged for the display to remember its last size and position.
+ Added a Favorites (bookmarks) tab.
+ Added the "Advanced Search" decorations.
Add a -r option; if given with a release number, the "What's New" document
is included with the relevant version number.
Update the text of the README distributed with the PostScript files to
reflect the changes in the user organizations in the Python community.
in response to Skip's comments in SF bug #487165.
Make use of string methods instead of string module functions in most places.
Add (and make the default) a way to collapse symbol entries into a single
"Symbols" section in the generated index. This is similar to what makeindex
does, but does not include entries beginning with an underscore.
- Change PREFIX to PREFIXES, which contains a sequence of prefix strings.
This is useful since we want to look for both Py and PY.
- Wrap a long line.
- Collect struct tags as well as typedef names. Since we generally only
use one of the other, that improves coverage.
- Make the script executable on Unix.
This could use a better approach to determine if a symbol is documented,
and could easily avoid keeping the massive string in memory. That would
take time to actually write more code, though, so we'll bail on that
for now.
LaTeX2HTML. This is not safe to do in general (for the reasons LaTeX2HTML
protects against dvips to begin with), but is safe if we do not actually
need to run dvips. Note that we also assume it is safe if the user
specifically requests PostScript generation. See the comments for further
explanation.
Mozilla 0.9.5 can make intelligent use of them. Specifically, this causes
the "Acknowledgements" and "Global Module Index" pages to acquire "up"
links in the Mozilla "Site Navigation Bar".
This partially responds to SF bug #469772.
For the real document element, make sure the prolog is migrated into
the document element so it isn't left stranded.
Make fixup_trailing_whitespace() whitespace do what was really intended.
Add the *desc environments used in the C API manual to the list of
things that can exist at the paragraph level so they don't get wrapped
in <para>...</para>.
whether or not a link will be generated will depend on the link database.
Add a couple of explanatory comments for one of the stranger constructs
(giving input an empty name).
replacement for @DATE@ from a TeX file containing a \date{...} mark
(such as texinputs/boilerplate.tex).
This will be used to re-write the html/index.html.in file instead of
a combination of grep, date, and sed -- this is more portable to non-Unix
platforms.
This solves part of the problem reported in SF patch #429611, but does
not use the suggested patch.
building the HTML or text documentation). There is no need to create
it for other formats.
Job.build_html(): The builddir parameter is always passed in, so it need
not be optional.
attribute values, and make the logic surrounding the platform
annotations just a little easier to read. Also make the platform
notes appear in the generated page; they were supposed to, but did not.
Add a -F option similar to "cvs commit -F <file>".
Add a -t option to allow specifying the prefix to the directory into which
the docs should be unpacked (useful when I start trying out new styles for
the presentation).
the right HTML file to the name about.html is needed even if the
--numeric option was not given -- some other name may have been
assigned due to some non-determinism in the algorithm use to perform
name allocation. ;-(
This closes the "About..." portion of SF bug #420216.
Update <versionadded/> to recent addition of optional explanatory text;
make the explanation text take the same attribute name for both
<versionadded/> and <versionchanged/>.
(minidom in particular); it was using PyDOM which is now obsolete.
Only write the output file on success -- this avoids updating the timestamp
on the file on failure, which confuses "make".
implements a SAX XMLReader interface instead of the old Builder interface
used with PyDOM (now obsolete).
This only depends on the standard library, not PyXML.
site. These now seem (slightly) more reliable, and easier to work with
since update-docs.sh no longer needs to be installed ahead of time on
my account at SF.
not doing the \label{foo} --> foo.html transformation (--numeric was
specified on the command line), still look to see if there is an
"About this document..." node and copy that to "about.html", since the
page footers use that as the target.
to the Global Module Index for a set of documents. This is used to include
a reference to the global index from the per-document module indexes, so
that it is just a little easier to find.
(Someone suggested this, but I do not remember who. Please let me know if
it was you -- thanks!)
ordering fixed up (this makes sure that "xml.dom" comes before
"xml.dom.minidom" in the Module Index, which was not true before because
some HTML cruft crept into the data structures).
