longer used anywhere. Use the {*desc} environments instead.
\var{}: Ensure that the argument is always set in roman italic, in case an
alternate font is being used for code. These keeps the result of
\var{} consistent.
Some minor changes to allow easier exploration of alternate fonts for code in
the running text. Haven't changed the selected font; I haven't found one that
has everything required! (The best non-monospaced font so far was missing
the <, >, and | characters, or at least had them at the wrong locations. It
also allowed confusion between upper-case I and lower-case L.)
Added -9 option to gzip. This doesn't save much space, but it's "free" and
appreaciated by those with slow modems. (With these tarballs, that means
"those with modems"...!)
Remove the two tarballs in the clean target.
tarps - one-sided PostScript
tarps2 - two-sided PostScript, with ref.ps added as-is.
tardvi - yes, some people want the .dvi files
all-ps2 - Create the .ps files, but make sure the LaTeX openright option
is used in the \documentclass.
index. It works, it's ugly, and would probably have to be completely redone
if we changed latex2html versions. See the comments. ;-(
On the other hand, it works. ;-)
(Wait for myformat.perl checkin as well.)
For all generated cases of <strong>...</strong> (from this module), change to
<b>...</b>. This, from me? This is entirely to reduce the size of the
generated markup, which is more of an issue than semantics here. Since
<strong> isn't very meaningful anyway, this should be good.
{seealso} environment: Always start a new paragraph after the "See Also:"
line; this ensures that formatting is consistent for each subsequent
\see*{} item.
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.
mode) and take advantage of changes in myformat.sty.
Change "C" to "\C{}" and "\code{NULL}" to "\NULL{}" everywhere for consistency
and control.
