in the running text.
For computed attribute and method names (where there's a \var{} part to
the name), use the non-indexing forms of \datadesc{} and \funcdesc{}.
This doesn't change the printed output, but removes 3 rejections from the
makeindex run and allows the LaTeX2HTML support to exclude these from the
index.

&do_cmd_setindexsubitem: New function. Set the indexsubitem value from
\setindexsubitem{(...)}.
&do_env_opcodedesc: By default, don't index byte codes.
$INDEX_OPCODES: New flag. If true, index the byte codes. Default is off.
Normalize indentation to 4 spaces everywhere.
Minor nits.
Make all the indentations in {verbatim} environments have column 0 of the
listing in column 0 of the file.
Remove pagenumbering / pagestyle cruft.
Use more logical and less physical markup.
checkin of myformat.sty.
Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.
Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
Handle most (all?) of the page style / numbering magic here so the documents
don't have to do it individually.
Revise the \bcode / \ecode stuff so that the {verbatim} environment handles
it right directly. \bcode / \ecode will be completely removed from all files
(to be checked in momentarily).
Have the {verbatim} environment get the samples indented a bit; this
appearantly had been attempted in the old code, but didn't work because
paragraphs weren't indented.
Make all headers, from chapters on down to subparagraphs, have sans-serif
titles.
\setindexsubitem{}: New macro. Replaces \renewcommand{\indexsubitem{}(...)}
everywhere. This allows LaTeX2HTML to be made to work correctly for
this. That was near impossible with the old mechanisms.
For all {*desc} environments, make the name of the described thing bold as
well as monospaced.
{opcodedesc} environment: Don't index the byte code names; that doesn't seem
terribly useful, and there are a lot of them.
\var{}: More magic to make sure that the size is right even if embedded in
\file{} or some other macro that uses the sans-serif font in running
text.
\bfcode{}: New macro. Makes the font \code{} and bold. (Was unreasonable
using old LaTeX 2.09.)
\file{}: Adjust the size of the sans-serif font a little.
\email{}, \url{}, Make these use the same font as \file{}, but not the
surrounding single-quotes.
Update many comments.
Lots of minor nits and a little cleanliness.
\file{}: Use a sans-serif font for the filename itself.
Use the fncychap.sty package for fancy chapter headings.
Replace the \maketitle command with our own format. This is new, but it
looks a lot better than the old one.
Use \renewcommand instead of \def when extending or overriding standard LaTeX
commands. This makes it more LaTeX-like.
$STRIP_INDEX_TT: New flag. If set, the <tt>...</tt> around stuff in the index
is dropped. This is more O'Reilly-like.
&make_str_index_entry: Honor $STRIP_INDEX_TT.
&make_mod_index_entry: Honor $STRIP_INDEX_TT.
"""Combine similar index entries into an entry and subentries.
For example:
\item {foobar} (in module flotz), 23
\item {foobar} (in module whackit), 4323
becomes
\item {foobar}
\subitem in module flotz, 23
\subitem in module whackit, 4323
Note that an item which matches the format of a collapsable item but which
isn't part of a group of similar items is not modified.
"""
This results in a much more readable index, with less repitition of text;
especially for common method names.
