Fred Drake 7c418ed89c Added descriptions for log() and log10().
Clarified that floor() and ceil() return reals.  Same for the integer part
returned by modf().

Some markup consistency changes.
1998-01-22 17:37:50 +00:00

importantly, \url{}.
1998-01-22 16:11:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 55f4492859 Converted to use semantic markup. This is an example of how many of the new
constructs should be used.

Fred Drake 2d754437d4 Add entry for copy_reg module. 1998-01-21 04:58:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 1abf0df5b4 Simple documentation of the copy_reg module.
Guido, you should probably look at this.  The pickle documentation is out of
date; I don't see anything about the __reduce__() stuff or the
__safe_for_unpickling__ attribute.
1998-01-21 04:58:10 +00:00
Fred Drake d1cc9c2b92 Update comment about relative URL internet draft to reflect current RFC status;

Use trailing "()" on function names in running text.
1998-01-20 05:52:23 +00:00

section with the 1.5 change in exception support.
1998-01-20 05:26:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 73a973bf8d Always mark variables in the "Notes" following a table the same way as in the

Fred Drake dd17d1ce62 ni is a standard module, not a built-in module. The only other reference to
it already got it right.
1998-01-20 04:40:41 +00:00

(In description of AbstractWriter class.)

	      Leaving it for now.
1998-01-14 14:51:31 +00:00

1998-01-12 15:38:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b2c45a8197 Sigh. Apply a similar patch to the *other* occurrence of [^...]. 1998-01-12 05:49:05 +00:00
Fred Drake fd49a964bc Follow current recommended practice in an example: Use isinstance() to
perform a type test instead of type(x) == types.FoobarType.  In example
for type().
1998-01-11 21:15:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 48022db400 "Unix" --> "\UNIX{}"

Fred Drake cf7e830869 Add module reference for cPickle to index.
Consistency:  Always use trailing "()" for function and method names in text.

Consistency:  Always mark parameter names with \var{} in text.

Change questionable text about CORBA to definate text about XDR; "CORBA" isn't
enough to specify an external representation, and I'm not sure the comment is
right if we say "IIOP".  I know its right about XDR if we only mention shared
object references and not recursive structures.
1998-01-09 22:36:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 12d9da5827 Use \file{} instead of \code{} or ``\code{}'' to mark file & directory names

Fred Drake c4586387f6 In description of \D, revise markup so that the caret shows up in the HTML
version as well as the dvi form.  Without the fix, it showed up as an extra
zero character.

Bug reported by Hugh Sasse <hgs@dmu.ac.uk>.
1998-01-06 15:46:21 +00:00

Fred Drake 875c807c92 In description of the group() method, fix markup of "\(" and "\)" literals;
"\code{\\(}" produces "(" in the .dvi file and "<BR> (" in the latex2html
output (the font was right).  Changed to "\code{{\e}(}" variation, which
fixes both.  Breaks the .texi file generation again.  Oh well.
1998-01-02 02:50:13 +00:00

1997-12-29 21:42:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 78f8e98232 Lots of minor nits that allow this file to get processed without failures by
the info generation phases.  Most of the errors had occurred in the makeinfo
step.

Commented out the warning at the top; this should still really be removed
before 1.5, but that's not my call.  It generated problems for the info
conversion as well.
1997-12-29 21:39:39 +00:00
Fred Drake a007c13094 Reduce warning count from partparse.py.

be a dictionary...).
1997-12-29 19:59:38 +00:00

"\seetext{...}" instead of "\seetext ...".
1997-12-29 16:37:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 45c9df6636 Changed some \verb\...\ markup to the more common \code{...}. \verb\...\ is
rarely needed and should be avoided where possible since it doesn't behave
well with some processing tools (like partparse.py).
1997-12-29 15:55:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 7f96291ee2 Convert a couple of three-column tables with an empty third column to
two-column tables.  This improves the rendering of the HTML version on
(at least) some browsers.
1997-12-23 04:21:20 +00:00
Fred Drake d665e8b5b0 Removed unnecessary \small{} block; latex2html got it wrong and its no

Guido van Rossum e903aab833 Replace unprotected tilders by \~ -- an unprotected tilde is a
non-breaking space!
1997-12-18 16:28:56 +00:00
Fred Drake b2c6ef83f4 Change {\em ...} to \emph{...}; this seems to be the developing preference
throughout the manuals, and seems easier to read.
1997-12-18 15:56:05 +00:00
