Fred Drake 17f690f96b Minor changes to match the style guide. 2001-07-14 02:14:42 +00:00
Fred Drake a09262e860 Comment out section titles for sections that have not been written yet;
there is no need to clutter a reader's life with those useless things.

Make the snippets of Python code conform to the standard style.

Suppress the "Contents" page for HTML; it is not needed for small documents
in the online environment since LaTeX2HTML generates lots of tables of links
anyway.

Various markup consistency nits.

Fred Drake f2502adfc1 Fix markup so this document will format. 2001-02-19 19:14:50 +00:00
Thomas Heller 5f52f7230c Checked in with Andrew's blessing, I leave the comments with which
this was posted to distutils-sig in.

Here is what I've hacked together over some spare time
at the weekend. I would appreciate feedback, as I've told
before I'm neither a great author, nor native english speaker,
nor anything else.

Mostly I've completed (and written) docs for bdist_wininst
(where I'm an experert for), also I've started some stuff
for the data_files and scripts option.

Should I continue in this way? Would others like to jump in?

Fred Drake 0ac000cd54 Updates to reflect pending changes to the XML conversion process. 2000-11-22 16:42:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 78489a362e Do not use \verb in the Python documentation -- it makes parsing the LaTeX
sources more difficult and other tools do not always work well with it.
Since we have better markup for this case, just fix it.
2000-11-22 16:06:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 4532dc1bd9 Do not require packages that are not needed. 2000-10-26 21:13:22 +00:00

documentation.
2000-10-26 16:41:03 +00:00

Greg Ward 1bbe32982d Minor wording tweaks.
Kludged the extra-wide table that summarizes the manifest template language
