Fred Drake 4e303aad05 Add notes to the asctime() and ctime() descriptions to make it
explicit that locale information is not used.  There wasn't anything
that implied it was, but this has confused users.

Fred Drake 50276abd9b Update an example to use the DOM implementation object. Explain that
the parse() and parseString() functions use a separate parser, not

Fred Drake d8eeeae4a6 Fix reference to the Fetchmail FAQ:
- URL was missing an "m"

Fred Drake 6516e14968 Minor style nit for referring to other attributes of the same class
from an attributes description.
2002-10-01 14:29:58 +00:00
Fred Drake fcc31b44d2 Split the long email package examples into separate files and use
\verbatiminput instead of the verbatim environment -- this does the "right
thing" regarding page breaks in long examples for the typeset formats, and
has nice benefits for the HTML version as well.
2002-10-01 14:17:10 +00:00
Barry Warsaw ea66abc6e2 Cleaned up the examples. 2002-10-01 04:48:06 +00:00

I'll do next).

Greg Ward 02669a35bc Tweak description of PortableUnixMailbox: "From " lines are actually
quoted (or mangled) *at* delivery-time, not "well before" it.  (At least

Thomas Heller c687401337 Fix typos: despatcher -> dispatcher. 2002-09-17 15:19:12 +00:00
Fred Drake c1ddc505d9 Minor revision to the "\\" patch, including updating the docs a little to
accomodate the fact that they are more general now that they are for the
os.path module and not just posixpath.

This and the previous patch should be combined and applied to the 2.2-maint
branch.
2002-09-12 18:01:26 +00:00

Fred Drake 73e8ebfc5a Revise text about the level of DOM support, and provide pointers to
the work of the XML-SIG in the main body of the text.

Modify the markup in a few places to avoid wrapping lines in bad
places, and just general cleanliness.
