In note mentioning [].remove()'s exception, tell what exception is

Add index entries for open():

buffer size, I/O
I/O control, buffering
line-buffered I/O
unbuffered I/O
1999-08-05 13:43:08 +00:00

Add index entry "I/O control, buffering" for fdopen().
1999-08-05 13:41:31 +00:00

Add index entry "I/O control, buffering" for makefile().
1999-08-05 13:41:04 +00:00
58c5a2a53c
Started documentation on buffer objects & types. Very preliminary.
...
Greg Stein: Please help with this; it's your baby!
1999-08-04 13:13:24 +00:00

Change the directory tree walking example to use clearer variable
...
names, some suggested by Joe Ellsworth.
1999-08-03 21:52:29 +00:00
46ab6dfa89
Re-write in Python for portability. About 30% slower, but who cares?!
1999-08-03 17:54:39 +00:00
82ebc27357
remap_element_names(): Only used for things that the new conversion
...
engine in latex2esis.py can do, so discard it.
paragraph detection & markup: Handle some of the list-like
environments properly, picking up paragraphs inside
list items. (Only changed a few element-sets used for
recognition.)
fixup_refmodindexes_chunk(): Use the right attribute to determine the
module a <ref*modindex/> element is referring to.
convert(): Don't call remap_element_names(); it was removed.
1999-08-03 15:32:48 +00:00
2f6ec9ca81
The new conversion engine supports more of the table re-writing than
...
the old one, so use it.
1999-08-03 15:27:37 +00:00
32bc45f737
Removed PyMapping_Clear() -- it was wishful thinking and serves no
...
great purpose.
1999-08-02 20:49:37 +00:00
83c0983bf6
Use the mksourcepgk script instead of mktarball.sh.
1999-08-02 20:20:14 +00:00
9ff3a6a6e7
Remove obsolete version of script.
1999-08-02 20:19:42 +00:00
9f2b42080a
Re-implementation of mktarball.sh as a more portable Python script;
...
with a more descriptive name.
Allow creation of multiple archive formats with a single pass; useful
in this case since it uses a fresh export/checkout from CVS to ensure
that the tree is "clean" (no build turds, saved files, &c). Use --all
to create all supported formats.
1999-08-02 20:19:17 +00:00
080c1b5af6
bwrite(), ewrite(): Helpers for diagnostic output; essentially the
...
same as sys.stderr.write(), but bwrite() will make it
bold if stderr is a tty (for visibility).
Use these everywhere instead of accessing
sys.stderr.write() directly.
find_all_child_elements(): Find all elements by type name that are
immediate children of another.
cleanup_synopses(): Receive both the document and fragment objects as
parameters; if only the document is passed, synopsis
information is never found since it's in the fragment!
build_para(): Add a chunk of code to ensure that a newline always
follows the </para> end-tag. Not really important, but
makes presentation consistent for authoring/
maintenance.
fixup_bifuncindexes_chunk(): Use find_all_child_elements() instead of
find_all_elements() so we don't work with too many
levels at once; that could cause DOM exceptions with
the <elem>.removeChild() method.
1999-08-02 14:46:15 +00:00
4fbdf9779c
Mostly minor changes.
...
Removed some obsolete commented-out code.
Merged BaseConversion into Conversion since there's only one
conversion process now.
Remove push/pop of output stream; it's no longer needed.
1999-08-02 14:35:25 +00:00

This doesn't need to do nearly as much for the new conversion, so

simplify.
1999-08-02 14:32:46 +00:00

A few small improvements to the conversion.

Adjust examples to use the object interface instead of the function
interface.

Ripped out the old conversion.

Added a few more passes through the document fragment. Not actually

very interesting.
1999-07-29 22:23:19 +00:00
96e4a06fa6
Massive changes.
...
Separate the Conversion class into a base and a subclass; the subclass
is pretty minimal but the separation is useful for....
NewConversion: New class that implements a somewhat different
approach to the conversion. This uses a table of
instances (rather than tuples) that have more
information than the tuples used for the older
conversion procedure. This allows a lot more control
over the conversion, and it seems to be pretty
stable.
TableEntry,
Parameter: New classes that are used to build the conversion
specification used by NewConversion.
TableParser: xmllib.XMLParser subclass that builds a conversion
specification from an XML document.
load_table(): Convenience function that loads a table from a file.
main(): Added flags --new and --old; these select which conversion is
used. The default is --new.
Several fixes have been made in the old conversion as well; these were
done before writing & switching to the new conversion, and should be
archived.
The next checkin of this file will discard the old conversion; is is
kept in this checkin to allow it to be retrieved if needed, and to
avoid lossing the bugfixes that have been made to it in the interim.
1999-07-29 22:22:13 +00:00

Minor updates.
1999-07-29 22:14:09 +00:00

Use the (new) buildFragment() method of the EsisBuilder rather than
...
implementing it all here.
1999-07-29 22:13:31 +00:00
f032cdbb24
Some minor cleanup.
1999-07-29 22:03:52 +00:00
bc2285eb60
Conversion specification, used by a new path through latex2esis.py.
...
The specific markup conversion is coded here instead of an even more
cryptic table in the code of latex2esis.py.
1999-07-29 22:03:11 +00:00
478a265057
Minor update.
1999-07-29 22:01:39 +00:00
c35367e439
Change an {\em ...} to \var{...} and a {\bf ...} to \program{...} (the
...
new markup makes sense in context).
These allow the SGML/XML conversion updates to work, & should not have
still been in there anyway.
1999-07-29 13:56:41 +00:00
4ef3ea0cc4
Add support for bzip2 compression.
...
New target: distfiles, create all distribution archives, regardless of
archive format. (Individual targets remain for each archive format.)
1999-07-27 16:30:59 +00:00
5772f33b6c
Add support for bzip2 using --bzip2.
1999-07-27 16:29:30 +00:00

Ignore additional compressed formats.
1999-07-27 14:23:25 +00:00

.tgz files.
1999-07-23 16:09:11 +00:00

1999-07-22 19:21:45 +00:00

Make the default target xml instead of sgml.
1999-07-22 13:57:12 +00:00
7dbde51f97
Make the default target xml instead of sgml.
...
Use a temporary file to pass results from latex2esis.py to
docfixer.py; this makes for better error detection by make (if the
first pipeline stage fails, make wasn't catching it).
1999-07-22 13:56:51 +00:00

Removed VERSION since it is not used.

Updated Milan's email address.

Several methods return tuples, not lists.
1999-07-07 14:04:38 +00:00
363d67c2e6
Move some misc. comments from the example section to the main section.
...
Use the lowercase versions of the method names in the example, since
that's what's documented (Greg Stein's suggestion). Add a blank line
after the import line for clarity.
1999-07-07 13:42:56 +00:00

Per Frank Stajano's suggestion, state explicitly that the functions

Move the setting for secnumdepth to the document classes; make the numbering
...
for the manual class go one deeper than it previously did (\subsection
entries will now be numbered); no change for howto documents.
This makes it easier to refer precisely to smaller sections using \ref.
1999-06-29 18:15:59 +00:00
6bf37debb9
Added some minor prose before the descriptions of the data attributes

Update to Sjoerd's documentation of the chunk module, with some

cf6905f986
Clarify the example by explicitly importing the fcntl module -- this
...
avoid being fooled into thinking that fcntl and FCNTL are the same
thing -- they aren't! (fcntl is the extension, FCNTL.py is h2py
output that defines all the constants).
(XXX The example is still weird -- I think there's a more portable way
to do locking now. That's for someone else to fix...)
1999-06-24 17:58:44 +00:00

a4070cef5e
Preliminary documentation for the curses module by Moshe Zadka, with

lots of markup fixes and some English nits fixed.
Still needs real review. Some of the function signatures used in this

really old modules that may become obsolete.
1999-06-18 19:58:59 +00:00
a48a083edb
Added paragraph about potential re-initialization of extension

When looking for things that might be modules, include *module.c from

the Modules/ directory. Most of the remaining undocumented modules
seem to be living there.
1999-06-17 18:49:18 +00:00
