Fred Drake c4811d8208 Modify to perform "---" to "—" conversion outside of
verbatim-like environments.  The list of verbatim-like environments is
a defined by a variable in main().
1999-05-18 17:34:51 +00:00
Fred Drake c41e1e5f5e Remove the "---" to "—" conversion; this is wrong in verbatim
environments.  Move the conversion to esis2sgml.py.

Fred Drake 338da93734 SET_LINE_NO ==> SET_LINENO
Reported by Corran Webster <cwebster@math.tamu.edu>.
1999-05-17 20:57:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 33378da964 Added paragraph explaininng the text/binary flavors of some methods,
to make it easier for people to find what they're looking for.

Fred Drake d1fb77970d Document \e, \url.
Add a few more comments about mkhowto.

Based on comments from Albert <hat@se-46.wpa.wtb.tue.nl>.
1999-05-17 16:33:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 4f52867d95 Don't \input boilerplate.tex, fill in the real stuff. 3rd party
documents probably aren't written by Guido.  ;-)
1999-05-17 16:02:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 87f768e20b Attempted to clarify usage of the \declaremodule macro somewhat;
Michael Hudson's documentation for bytecodehacks exhibits incorrect
usage.

Added some comments about how to set up the mkhowto script for use
with documents not contained in the documentation source tree.
1999-05-17 15:22:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 3e4c614c16 define_module(): Check the module type for validity before using.
This reflects the changes made in
		  ../texinputs/python.sty.
1999-05-17 15:00:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 66823029a4 \declaremodule: Typo. 1999-05-17 14:57:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 5bc8d99bce \declaremodule: Make this more robust. Only attempt to add an index
entry based on the module type if the type is known.
		 Otherwise, spit out a warning the the module type
		 parameter was bad and generate a "plain" index entry.

		 Without this, the bad module type was emitted as
		 text.

Problem noticed by processing Michael Hudson's docs for
bytecodehacks.
1999-05-17 14:47:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 8ee593cb46 The conversion temporary files should not be ignored here anymore,
since they shouldn't be here.  Only ignore the output tarballs in this
directory.
1999-05-13 18:57:28 +00:00
Fred Drake dbc2d08ff5 POP3.uidl(): Update description based on comments from Piers Lauder
<piers@cs.su.oz.au>.
1999-05-13 18:48:14 +00:00
Fred Drake dab44682c2 PyCObject_FromVoidPtr(): Clarify that the destr function will only be
called on destruction is non-NULL.
1999-05-13 18:41:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 431f0ce547 Small nits around some of the index entries.
When refering to chapters, use \ref, don't hardcode the chapter
number.
1999-05-13 18:38:11 +00:00
Fred Drake ab03215204 make_index_entry(): Remove. Not only did this override the
l2hinit.perl version of the function (which
		     overrode a version in latex2html), but
		     do_cmd_index() was overridden.  Since
		     do_cmd_index() was the only caller, we can trash
		     this.

define_indexing_macro():  New function used during setup to support
			  more dynamic dispatch for indexing.

process_index_macros():  New function; implement dynamic dispatching
			 of indexing support functions, allowing many
			 targets used in indexing to be shared by
			 multiple index entries.  I.e., something like
			 \index{foo}\bifuncindex{bar} can now share a
			 single target anchor.

These indexing changes reduce the amount of clutter in the generated
HTML files.  In the reference manual, this cuts the number of targets
by 44%.  Targets are less affected when generated by environments
rather than macros.
1999-05-13 18:36:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 76febdf3fd make_index_entry(): Remove. This is overridden in python.perl and
was never called in this incarnation.  The
		     other version is simpler as well.
1999-05-13 16:41:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 7088df4c56 Removed old comments. 1999-05-13 16:20:30 +00:00

Fred Drake 03c05a5192 Move the "See also:" section so it appears are part of the top HTML
page of the section.

All suggested by Eric Raymond.
1999-05-11 15:14:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 9ade7e0110 Added missing comma, reported by Eric Raymond. 1999-05-11 13:45:37 +00:00
Fred Drake e779d4f03b Lots of adjustments to deal with the document content now being stored
in a fragment rather than the main document object.
1999-05-10 19:36:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 54fb7fb9d0 Some more fixes.
Add controls for some of the esoteric indexing macros.
1999-05-10 19:36:03 +00:00
Fred Drake b894370f6a Fixed some index entries.
In the __coerce__ description, None should be returned if the
conversion is *impossible*, not *possible*.  Reported by Robert Kern
<kernr@ncifcrf.gov>.
1999-05-10 13:43:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 2697694e4a ExtendedEsisBuilder.push(): Override inherited definition. We don't
want to push nodes into the document, but into a document
	fragment, since we're not necesarily working with something
	that's well-formed.
1999-05-07 21:14:28 +00:00
Fred Drake f79acbdaa1 Fix some bugs introduced in the previous checkin. 1999-05-07 21:12:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 96c00b0b5e Define & use a Conversion object. It's still really ugly, but at
least there's a token object in here now!  ;-)
1999-05-07 19:59:02 +00:00
Fred Drake b0bc7f2d6c Updated connect_ex() documentation based on comments in the newgroup
(M.-A. Lemburg and GvR).
1999-05-06 22:03:50 +00:00
Fred Drake a871c2e747 Make it work for "manual" documents as well as "howto" documents.
This still doesn't understand anything about multiple source files or
checking time dependencies.
1999-05-06 19:37:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 1ea7c75687 Reflect recent patch for float % and divmod() by Tim Peters. Content
updates by Tim Peters, markup by FLD.
1999-05-06 14:46:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 4437fdf265 Make sure latex2html doesn't produce a hard link between foo/foo.html
and foo/index.html.  Make a copy instead.  (Appearantly some tar
openers on non-Unixlike systems can't handle hard links.)
1999-05-03 14:29:07 +00:00
Fred Drake d2d1eef025 Make sure latex2html doesn't produce a hard link from $part/$part.html
and $part/index.html.  Make a copy instead.  (Appearantly some tar
openers on non-Unixlike systems can't handle hard links.)
1999-05-03 14:27:45 +00:00
Fred Drake ab005d5f6c Revert constraint on the GIF wildcard; we missed a few! 1999-04-30 15:58:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 8961bd1529 Added top navigation bar for consistency and color. There's not a lot
there, but the "modules" icon is active.
1999-04-29 19:54:08 +00:00
Fred Drake a00754468f make_nav_panel(): Remove the spurious NAME="tex2html\d+" attributes
added to the anchors in the navigation bars.  These
		   are added somewhere deep with l2h, and are stupid.
1999-04-29 19:06:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 50c507e4b4 Added wcnew target to run the "wcnew" version of webchecker. 1999-04-29 19:04:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 673c65e500 Use the new module-key for the FL module when hyperlinking (the old
one caused problems on case-insensitive file systems).
1999-04-29 18:42:18 +00:00
Fred Drake dbf7d99ae7 For the tutorial, use numeric node names and split by chapter. 1999-04-29 18:29:38 +00:00

1999-04-29 17:04:21 +00:00
Fred Drake d09120b5b9 Added index entries for operator precedence; suggestion from Randall
Hopper <rhh@vislab.epa.gov>.
1999-04-29 16:43:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 62e80138f4 Make sure the global module index is added to the HTML tarball. 1999-04-29 15:44:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 5cc0a9b252 Generate index.html from index.html.in. This avoids having to modify the
index to update the version number; boilerplate.tex remains the only document
source for this information.
1999-04-29 15:42:19 +00:00
Fred Drake fe1e207841 Constrain a wildcard a little more. 1999-04-29 15:32:27 +00:00
Fred Drake d03e9e34de Don't point readers to rand, point to random! And make it a hyperlink
while you're at it.

Also, when discussing order of reading, make it clear that chapter 2
is assumed background material for the remainder of the manual.
That's needed for terminology if nothing else!
1999-04-29 13:41:17 +00:00
Fred Drake bdadf0f7f3 Explain comments at the start of chapter 3. This is needed since they
appear in the examples without any further explanation, and the
tutorial doesn't have this information explicit anywhere else.
Omission reported by Jon Black <jblack@Ridgeway-Sys.com>.
1999-04-29 13:20:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 0e1de8bd6b Minor nits, partly in response to comments from Jonathan Black

Mention that the fp attribute can be used to read the message body.
1999-04-28 18:11:09 +00:00
Fred Drake ea07f2751a setup_column_alignments(): Adding valign=baseline to the <td> tag
makes the alignment work on Navigator as
			    well as IE.  Uglier HTML, but it looks
			    right.
1999-04-28 17:11:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 250ba78565 Let's try again: new assertion. 1999-04-28 16:57:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 610172b0de Removed (empty) description of \optional from the "Inline Markup"

1999-04-28 15:06:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a0fd595b3 \filenq: Like \file, but don't use single-quotes; this looks better
in tables.
1999-04-28 14:59:44 +00:00
Fred Drake f74e5b7936 Control the layout of output tables a little better so they're easier
to debug.  Small code cleanup around tables.
1999-04-28 14:58:49 +00:00
Fred Drake cf282cdafb Point to the library reference manual for os.path documentation (in
macpath section).
1999-04-28 14:04:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 79189b5fd5 do_cmd_seetext(): Clean up so we get proper nesting of <div>s. This
fixes a rendering problem on IE5.

General adjustments to the table* environments, including using
<thead> and <tbody>.  Attempt to adjust the vertical alignment of the
table cells so that the baseline of the first cell matches the
baseline of the remaining cells:  When the first cell is small and the
second cell of the same row is multi-line, the first cell was
vertically centered by default.  Specifying valign=baseline fixes the
problem on IE, but Netscape seems to ignore both valign=top and
valign=baseline (even though valign is NS's fault!).  Make the
horizontal alignment of 'p' columns left instead of center (for the
headings).
1999-04-28 13:54:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 505c49199a Added "See also" reference to PyOpenGL. 1999-04-27 18:05:06 +00:00

Fred Drake 154fc6dcf7 Patch from Greg Ward adding descriptions of S_IMODE() and S_IFMT(),
and an explanation of why any of stat.S_*() would be used instead of
os.path.is*().  (With some really small enhancements by me.)

Fred Drake 47894d2858 Don't describe this module as being a popen() wrapper; that's a little
confusing.  This is clearly Unix-specific; label it as such.
1999-04-22 15:19:01 +00:00

databases (opened using hashopen()), as noted by Skip Montanaro on
comp.lang.python.
1999-04-22 14:06:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 693a2c6581 Script to locate uses of \module where the module referred to is not
the module being documented at that point in the documentation; these
are candidates for conversion to \refmodule, which produces a
hyperlink in the HTML and PDF versions of the output.
1999-04-22 13:08:09 +00:00
Fred Drake e0208cc83c Add a couple of items. 1999-04-22 13:05:52 +00:00

1999-04-22 13:05:27 +00:00

of the envdesc and macrodesc environments.
1999-04-22 13:03:49 +00:00

1999-04-14 05:02:06 +00:00

really asking for.  ;-)

Revise the verbatim environment: simple implementation, but more
compatible if a document also add \usepackage{verbatim} at the
beginning.

Declare \modindex, \bimodindex, \exmodindex, and \stmodindex
obsolete.  These still work just fine, but \declaremodule should be
used instead.  The obsolete macros will print a warning on standard
out.
1999-03-18 16:18:27 +00:00

1999-03-12 16:24:22 +00:00

just like we do for mkhowto.
1999-03-04 21:25:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 5f7832d125 Allow many more aspects of the generated page to be parameterized, and
add a useful usage message.  Use 'mkmodindex --help' to display it.
1999-03-04 21:19:57 +00:00

Fred Drake 8b88093b95 Re-written mkhowto in Python; this should be at least a little more
portable.

Several things that had been done by running a python script are now a
matter of importing the right module and running a function with a few
parameters.
1999-03-03 20:24:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 749f943a6b process(): New function that contains the "orchestration" of the
actual work.

ALIGN=CENTER for the table, to get a slightly better affect in the
text (the table is full-width, so this doesn't change the appearance
when browsing the HTML).
1999-03-03 16:21:34 +00:00

sites.

		      information.

process_all_platformofs():  New function to post-process \platformof macros
	using information collected during the initial pass.

process_python_state():  New function. Call all post-processing functions
	defined in this file to avoid having to have too much knowledge of
	the internals for this stuff in l2hinit.perl.
1999-03-02 16:05:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 2383f6dbbc Improve handling of module index, to deal with platform annotations a little
better.
1999-03-02 16:00:37 +00:00
