Fred Drake a0e4b78233 img_tag(): For \n to be interpreted as a newline, the string must use double
quote, not single quotes.  Ugh.

Fred Drake 7cfca6de2b Don't need these anymore.... 1998-08-13 22:05:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 062bc6e598 Do the magic to use the new buttons (with shorter names!) instead of the old
ones.  Get the <IMG> width & height right.  New design for the navigation
bars, including the document title as well as the navigation links/buttons.

Fred Drake 697c1c7325 Some minor updates. 1998-08-12 17:13:28 +00:00
Fred Drake eb7fe4f5a1 Massive cleanup: Use Makefiles in subdirs properly, move most of the
detailed build rules to the subdirs.  Allow pretty much every useful target
to be built directly from the top dir (no change in output location).
1998-08-12 17:08:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 07b12f2497 Re-written to actually perform the conversion instead of using a sub-make
with the parent Makefile.  Will also force the auxillary files to be
created if they need to be.
1998-08-12 17:06:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 3069c976cf Update date & version number for release 1.5.2a1. 1998-08-12 17:02:50 +00:00

Fred Drake 3d865424a7 New makefile which only contains the source dependencies specific to each
document.  The main Makefile will only contain rules and "system" dependencies.
1998-08-12 16:16:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 370f3c9eb6 Bump RELEASE to 1.5.2a1. 1998-08-11 19:38:00 +00:00
Fred Drake f832f4cd34 Clean things up just a bit. 1998-08-11 19:36:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 15c417eb77 Helper script used in creating navigation buttons. 1998-08-11 19:35:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 9f7adc4f22 Get the <IMG> sizes right for the navigation buttons. 1998-08-11 19:33:38 +00:00
Fred Drake a69ada66d0 Ok, blank.pbm is free to go.
The rest of these are new or replaced.  The buttons are now all the same
width.  They have the transparency set right.  They still need the attention
of a designer.  But they work, and we have a real button for the Modules
Index.
1998-08-11 18:52:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 1b9b210abf I think this is the last of them. 1998-08-11 18:50:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 7aac918029 Gosh, there's a lot of them.... 1998-08-11 18:47:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 704be95237 More files never used here..... 1998-08-11 18:42:30 +00:00
Fred Drake e528458155 Icons only needed if using the change control marks, which are bogus. 1998-08-11 18:40:03 +00:00
Fred Drake c83d7cac07 Remove files we never used; l2h would only use these if you use the
special "html" package, which we don't and won't.
1998-08-11 18:31:35 +00:00
Fred Drake af06a0b4ee Use Perl's rename() function instead of system(); there's no need for two
additional processes for each name change!
1998-08-11 18:17:47 +00:00

Fred Drake 64c105d3d2 Added index entries.
Small markup nits.
1998-08-11 15:18:45 +00:00
Fred Drake f6b6bbceb6 Add a comment explaining that this script is probably not useful outside the
standard Python documentation, since the mkhowto.sh script is.  Let there be
no doubts....
1998-08-11 14:10:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 4d46487fe8 Make sure the icons/ directory is created even if only one document is
converted.
1998-08-11 13:18:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 916f7c1e7c Better check in the date from the last magic-fix-release. ;-) 1998-08-11 13:14:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 6aa5d482fb Control when/where navigation bars will appear: top & bottom of each page.
Include an additional button to the module index in the nav. bars if we
generate a module index.  Still need a button image, but the ALT text should
do for now.
1998-08-11 03:14:50 +00:00

	insert_index().
1998-08-07 20:51:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 077fffa874 The letter headings must be requested explicitly with --letters. 1998-08-07 20:49:54 +00:00

Guido van Rossum ed9dcc10f8 Clarify that the Python interpreter lock need *not* be held by
PyInterpreterState_New() and PyThreadState_New() -- but that you may
use it to serialize calls to them.
1998-08-07 18:28:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cdf6af1233 Document gethostbyname_ex(). 1998-08-07 18:07:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 96e11029b8 Updated list of Library Reference files.
Added some dependencies to some of the HTML generation targets.
1998-08-07 18:01:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum aee5e26f4b Add warning that mutable argument defaults are evaluated only once;
with examples and workaround.  This keeps coming up, and I believe
that this section in the tutorial may have been (in part) the source
of the confusion.  While it didn't show examples with [] for a default,
it also didn't emphasize enough why that would be a bad idea, and
while it did say that defaults are evaluated at the point of function
definition, the example was not relevant for this issue.
1998-08-07 17:45:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 1a0b872665 At least mark the URL to the Packages essay using \url. 1998-08-07 17:40:20 +00:00

Fred Drake 9940bd717c Variant of AMK's patch to produce text versions of HOWTO documents.
This ensures that the text version uses latex2html's -split 1 option, without
affecting HTML produced in the same run, and also minimizes the number of
l2h runs needed if --split 1 was used for an HTML run.
1998-08-06 20:15:20 +00:00

Fred Drake 11300cc71e build_html(): Simplify, so there's only one version of the latex2html
command line.

l2hoption():  Convenience function, to write out an option to the aux. init.
	file only if set.

Added --iconserver option to set the $ICONSERVER variable in latex2html; this
requires the use of an auxillary init. file since this can't be initialized
using a standard latex2html command-line option.  So the aux. init. file is
used for just about all the special options since it has to be written anyway
when $ICONSERVER needs to be set.
1998-08-05 04:48:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 1ca8fdc446 Remove modified setting of $ICONSERVER; this isn't the right way to do it. 1998-08-05 04:36:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 45f2601cf3 get_chapter_id(): Separate two aspects of string replacement to allow the
need for each to vary independently.
1998-08-04 22:07:18 +00:00
Fred Drake f54556efae Fixed wrapping on some long lines. 1998-08-04 20:53:55 +00:00

have been collected.
1998-07-24 22:17:34 +00:00
Fred Drake a0f4c94af6 Added module synopsis support with one (big) caveat: All the modules are
listed in each chapter that has a \localmoduletable.  This will be fixed,
and everything else seems to be working fine.

Fred Drake 64e3b43583 Move files around to get the names to match the module names except for
case.  Two modules (SocketServer, BaseHTTPServer) still don't match; those
names are just too long!

Fred Drake 889f53d4e0 Reduce the number of levels in the Table of Contents by one, mostly for the
Python Library Reference.  The other manuals do not suffer.

This does not affect HOWTO documents.
1998-07-24 13:54:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 13529c41e4 Remove item about one section === one module; done.
Add item about howto docs that use \localmoduletable problem for howto
documents.

Guido van Rossum 3a0ad6089b Changes copied from the FrameMaker version, and some new stuff
(complex numbers, power operator).

Fred Drake 5420f3321d \textunderscore: Re-define with a width that's more appropriate for the
courier font used in Python code.  This still isn't *good*, but
	makes the width about right in most cases.  (Exception: it's now
	a little wide in \var words.)

Fred Drake cf0fb8bfee Document the 'p' format character.
Clean up some of the markup.
1998-07-23 21:18:25 +00:00
Fred Drake c457ca7ede Fix up Barry's markup, which didn't pass the latex test. ;-) 1998-07-23 20:31:53 +00:00
Barry Warsaw da00c878bd Added descriptions of EnvironmentError and OSError; updated IOError to
reflect its new place in the exception hierarchy; fixed typos, etc.
1998-07-23 19:57:35 +00:00
Barry Warsaw eef2cd14c9 Updated the description of os.error to reflect the fact that it is now
equivalent to exceptions.OSError.

Fred Drake 27467e4b7e Logical markup. 1998-07-23 19:47:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b18a93b4c8 Changes copied from the FrameMaker version (hardly anything original). 1998-07-23 19:36:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 3bd9ab0ef3 Use the new module synopsis syntax, even though we don't need a synopsis table
for this chapter.  This protects against backend changes for \declaremodule.
1998-07-23 19:33:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 8cab549c0a use_latex(): Hack to pass .syn files though uniq, so that the last module
in a HOWTO document isn't listed in the synopsis table twice.  This
	will do until the real bug is found (low priority!).
1998-07-23 19:13:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 465a42a58e Added targets dvi, pdf, and ps, to make all of the documents in those formats. 1998-07-23 18:10:51 +00:00
