Fred Drake 1e862e8a37 Update the description of int() to include the radix parameter;
omission noted on c.l.py by Aahz Maruch.

Swapped the order of the descriptions of int() and intern() so that
int() comes first (the functions are in alphabetic order).

Fred Drake 645af9fedd rewrite_descriptor(): Fixup conversion of arguments (simpler).
join_adjacent_elements():  Hack to merge adjacent instances of
        <option>; the source \programopt with GNU-style long options
        created problems with LaTeX2HTML; this removes the evil
        workaround, which should never be necessary from structured
        documents(!).
1999-11-23 21:52:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 8a3b4495df Don't rename \var to <varname>; DocBook is too verbose here.
Do adopt DocBook's <command>, <option>, <envar> names for \program,
\programopt, \envvar.

Add \filenq --> <filename quote="no"> (it has to go somewhere, at
least for now).
1999-11-23 21:48:41 +00:00
Fred Drake d81b1b0ffa Set the date and version to reflect the actual status, not the last
released status.  Has to be changed just before publishing anyway.
1999-11-18 20:57:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 0d6bf0e544 When generating the top-level index to the documents, make sure some
oddball things from the LaTeX get translated to rational values.  This
is mostly to keep things from looking broken in a development tree
when they're not.

Fred Drake 7424242c1c Removed last XXX comment; no further action needed on this one. 1999-11-17 16:09:57 +00:00
Fred Drake 55e93964e6 Preliminary documentation for turtle module (Tk), by Moshe Zadka.
Fixed up a few TeXisms and markup nits, but otherwise unchanged.
Somewhat raw.

Fred Drake 91f31eab1c Added citetitle and programopt.
Made var get renamed to varname (more like DocBook).

Fred Drake 7b8195a209 \programopt: New macro, used to mark command-line parameters in the
text.  Looks like \program.

\citetitle:   New macro, used to mark titles of cited works (like the
              names of the Python manuals).  Accepts & discards an
              optional parameter that is only used by the HTML
              formatter.  Looks like \emph.
1999-11-09 17:02:11 +00:00
Fred Drake c9f5fe0d1c do_cmd_programopt(): New function, similar to do_cmd_program().
do_cmd_citetitle():  New function.  Extracts one optional and one
                     required parameter.  If the optional one is
                     provided, it is used a URL (or relative URL) and
                     the text of the required parameter is turned into
                     a hyperlink.
