For the real document element, make sure the prolog is migrated into
the document element so it isn't left stranded.
Make fixup_trailing_whitespace() whitespace do what was really intended.
Add the *desc environments used in the C API manual to the list of
things that can exist at the paragraph level so they don't get wrapped
in <para>...</para>.
whether or not a link will be generated will depend on the link database.
Add a couple of explanatory comments for one of the stranger constructs
(giving input an empty name).
used with text as was done here. Fixed so that the typeset version wraps
the warning text and the HTML version does not create images of the warning
text.
In both the HTML and typeset versions of the documentation, add a colon
after the name of a mail header so that it is more easily distinguished
from other text.
Clarify the \mimetype description; it can be used to refer to a part of a
MIME type name, so \mimetype{text} or \mimetype{plain} can be used, not
just \mimetype{text/plain}.
the object has been pickled; don't mutate the instance dict in the
__getstate__() method. Other minor changes for style. Broke up the
displayed interactive session to get better page-breaking behavior for
typeset versions, and to point out an important aspect of the example.
This closes SF bug #453914.
Cleaned up a bunch of XXX comments containing links to additional
information, replacing them with proper references.
Replaced "MacOS" with "Mac OS", since that's what the style guide says.
introduced in Python 2.2.
Add documentation for the slice object interface (not complete).
Added version annotations for several of the Python 2.2 APIs already
documented.
easy for 2.2 new-style classes, but trickier for classic classes, and
different approaches are needed "depending". The function will allow
later code to treat all flavors of classes uniformly.
the source file using "in ?".
Added a description of the bare "raise" statement.
Added more description and examples for user-defined exceptions; this
is part of a response to SF bug #443559.
Once upon a time, I put together a little function
that tries to find the canonical filename for a given
pathname on POSIX. I've finally gotten around to
turning it into a proper patch with documentation.
On non-POSIX, I made it an alias for 'abspath', as
that's the behavior on POSIX when no symlinks are
encountered in the path.
Example:
>>> os.path.realpath('/usr/bin/X11/X')
'/usr/X11R6/bin/X'
