5f84c9b55e
$OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON: Don't define here; simply defining it overrides a
...
definition provided by previously loaded configuration code, and
testing whether it's defined isn't needed since the default was
false anyway.
get_link_icon(): Add support for $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_HEIGHT and
$OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_WIDTH, giving the dimensions of the icon
being used. This can make for faster page display. Both are
optional.
make_my_titlegraphic(): Fix insertion of the off-site icon link.
do_env_funcdesc(): Remove debugging print.
handle_rfclike_reference(): Remove trailing colon from first line; it
doesn't really make sense and looks bad if we add an icon to
mark off-site links.

Updated discussion of tuple unpacking to reflect the general ability
to unpack any sequence type. Explained that it is possible to create
tuples which contain mutable values, and noted in the dictionary
section that such tuples cannot be used as keys.
Noted that .pyc and .pyo files can be run directly when provided as
the script parameter to the interpreter, and slightly clarified
comments about using modules with only the byte compiled code.
Removed some XXX comments that are no longer relevant.

Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects:
...
"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data
of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16
data.
The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().

This patch adds a new Python C API called PyString_AsStringAndSize()
...
which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.
The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890 .
As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.

Add support for new \pep, \seepep, excclassdesc markup.
...
Update processing of module synopsis tables (found at the beginning of
most chapters of the library reference) to reflect changes in the
processing pattern of recent versions LaTeX2HMTL. Requires most
recent change to SynopsisTable.pm.
This does not fix the module index problem.
2000-09-09 06:07:37 +00:00
4e607964d1
excclassdesc: New environment. For use in documenting class-based

d0726c3cd9
\file is not allowed in section titles -- converting to PDF fails due to
...
weird macro-expansion issues. A better solution may be available in the
future, but this will do for now.
Add an index entry. More should probably be added as well.
2000-09-07 18:55:08 +00:00
88c023b863
Remove comment about -X and string exceptions. Error noted by

...
"manual" class documents.
2000-09-05 21:45:11 +00:00
8bdf0bf705
Fix PDF generation.
...
The \\ introduced in the \author in boilerplate.tex broke the PDF
generation because line breaks are not allowed in the "Document Info"
metadata stored in the PDF file. This changes the line break to
a ", " (comma-space) in that context.
2000-09-05 15:19:56 +00:00
82de71dae8
Minor nit to make this work a little better with the PDF generation fix.

Document the limitation that urllib does not work with proxies which
...
require authenication. This is an implementation limitation rather than
required behavior, and may be fixed in the future.

New method getnamespace.
...
Since the application never gets to see the namespace abbreviation
used in the XML document, but some applications may need to know them,
we provide this method.
2000-08-31 10:27:00 +00:00
f730fc3e4e
Be a little more careful to avoid including style information in the
...
generated markup.
Don't be careless with the navigation icons! We should use the blank
icon where there is not anyplace to go for a particular position in the

than once.

b9b4c5b560
Centralize the processing logic for LaTeX documents into the mkhowto script;
...
do not use mkdvi.sh or mkhtl.sh any more.
This slows down building all versions of the documentation, but if you are
only building one format, it does not matter.
2000-08-31 06:12:35 +00:00

Add a --style option to allow specifying an alternate CSS style sheet for

HTML generation; the machinery was there but no option to set it was
defined.
Simplify some of the path-math since we can assume a recent version of
