Fred Drake b666c15c4a Normalization of markup. 1998-02-13 22:22:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 6e99adb1c9 Don't capitalize identifiers at the beginning of the sentence; re-write to
place them elsewhere so they get the right capitalization.
1998-02-13 22:17:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 01dbb88831 Fix some markup so that the right characters are printed.
"EOF" --> "\EOF{}"

Fred Drake 4a1efb63a9 Capitalize subsection title. 1998-02-13 22:10:21 +00:00
Fred Drake ab875b9a32 Make one paragraph wrap a little better. 1998-02-13 22:07:33 +00:00
Fred Drake a19bb9bbcf Capitalize first word in sentences, use periods at end. 1998-02-13 21:57:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 86b5dcec86 Change {datadesc} environments with empty descriptions to \dataline{}s; this
removes extra vertical space from the list of names, and makes the display
more similar to that used in the socket module, where several constants share
a description.

Fred Drake fc931ecf92 In description of sound_similar(), break up the markup for long
\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap.  This keeps
it from being too ugly.

Fred Drake 315b5d8a7f In description of __import__, second paragraph, break up the markup for long
\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap.  This keeps it
from running off the side of the page, and is only slightly weird.

Fred Drake 83bd081920 Minor stuff:
Explain what happens when a negative shift count is used (what exception).

Mark the title "Python Reference Manual" as \emph{}, for consistency.

"info" --> "information"

Tell more about the data attributes of file objects, using the {datadesc}
environment.

When refering the user to the language reference for information about
internal types, tell what internal types to expect information on.

Fred Drake fb74a463ad Add "Pretty Good Privacy" as well as "PGP" to the index. 1998-02-13 14:52:17 +00:00
Fred Drake c9c456ef69 In add_label_data() description, use "\samp{}" instead of "``\code{...}''"
to indicate the interpreted letters from the format string.
1998-02-13 14:48:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 7f6e2c45ec Use "\samp{...}" instead of "``\code{...}''" when showing markup fragments
in the running text.

For computed attribute and method names (where there's a \var{} part to
the name), use the non-indexing forms of \datadesc{} and \funcdesc{}.
This doesn't change the printed output, but removes 3 rejections from the
makeindex run and allows the LaTeX2HTML support to exclude these from the
index.

Fred Drake 2a4646c660 Remove obsolete pagenumbering / pagestyle cruft. 1998-02-13 07:08:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.

Guido van Rossum 38e0df330b Some subtleties suggested by Tamito Kajiyama, including an added
\nodename macro for a section with a very underscriptive title.
1998-02-11 22:55:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f5370f4019 Turn the space in [\^ ...] into a hard space: [\^\ ...]. 1998-02-11 22:52:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1c974db134 Split UserDict and UserList on two separate lines; added entries for
modules symbol and token.

Fred Drake 1624a507e6 Oops, missed a \POSIX{} in an index entry. 1998-02-09 22:12:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 88223904c8 Add some index entries; switch to logical markup. 1998-02-09 20:52:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 65b32f7f74 Consistently use \POSIX{} to denote POSIX. There were at least two different
ways to do it previously (not counting module names).

Fred Drake c58912426e Use the new RFC macros wherever RFCs are referenced by number. No other
changes.

Fred Drake 31c4ed75fc Remove commented-out \itembreak. 1998-02-06 22:26:04 +00:00
Fred Drake c660233cfb Update two of the \indexsubitem values to use singular rather than plural form
of "variable": each individual variable should be identified as a single
variable and not a collection in the index.
1998-02-06 22:19:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8e1e68de49 Add ref to errno module, and change ref to posix.error to os.error. 1998-02-06 15:18:25 +00:00

Guido van Rossum ad37e9e77d Clarify that capwords() removes leading/trailing whitespace.
Remove references to regsub, which is obsolescent.
1998-02-02 03:01:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c45c2f3dc1 Add S_ISBLK(). 1998-01-29 22:03:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 02505e4850 New version of xmllib from Sjoerd.
The main incompatibility is that the error reporting method is now
called as
 parser.syntax_error(msg)
instead of
 parser.syntax_error(lineno, msg)

This new version also has some code to deal with the <?xml?> and
<!DOCTYPE> tags at the start of an XML document.
The documentation has been updated, and a small test module has been
created.
1998-01-29 14:55:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7570669a08 Add a note explaining that multiplying a sequence with a negative
number is the same as multiplying it with zero, and yields an empty
sequence.
