Remove use of the avant package; Helvetica isn't as pretty, but works for

acroread. The problem this solves is likely dependent on font availability,
so keeping things simple is a good solution.

Move files around to get the names to match the module names except for

Reduce the number of levels in the Table of Contents by one, mostly for the

\textunderscore: Re-define with a width that's more appropriate for the

Use the new module synopsis syntax, even though we don't need a synopsis table

use_latex(): Hack to pass .syn files though uniq, so that the last module

Lots of new stuff for "module synopsis support." Public interface consists
...
of three macros, one which replaces some of the current conventions used in
the module sections:
\declaremodule: Requires two parameters: module type (standard, builtin,
extension), and the module name. An optional parameter should be
given as the basis for the module's "key" used for linking to or
referencing the section. The "key" should only be given if the
module's name contains underscores, and should be the name with the
underscore's stripped. This should be the first thing after the
\section used to introduce the module.
\modulesynopsis: Requires a single parameter: a short, one-liner
description of the module that can be used as part of the chapter
introduction. This should probably be placed just after the
\declaremodule, but may be placed anywhere in the same section.
\localmoduletable: No parameters. If a .syn file exists for the current
chapter (or for the entire document in howto docs), a synopsistable
is created with the contents loaded from the .syn file.
Some re-organization due to module synopsis support.
Some \def's changed to \newcommand's.
1998-07-23 17:50:45 +00:00

\chapter: Extended, ensures that a pending module synopsis is written out
and then closes the .syn file for the preceeding chapter.

Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that I

accidentally cut it out when removing the access statement! Added a
