When generating the top-level index to the documents, make sure some

oddball things from the LaTeX get translated to rational values. This
is mostly to keep things from looking broken in a development tree
when they're not.

Made var get renamed to varname (more like DocBook).

\programopt: New macro, used to mark command-line parameters in the

\citetitle: New macro, used to mark titles of cited works (like the

supplemental l2h initialization file it creates and still get all the

Some code to help suppress various navigational pages; this might be
interesting when generating HTML to create HTML Help documents, since
the navigation support creates confusing hits in the full text
search. HTML Help also provides a lot of the navigational

fixup_paras_helper(): Clean up control flow.
Everywhere that checks node.nodeType==ELEMENT and node.tagName now
just check node.nodeName (nodeName is guaranteed for all node types
and will be special values that don't conflict with GIs for

remap_element_names(): Only used for things that the new conversion

paragraph detection & markup: Handle some of the list-like

fixup_refmodindexes_chunk(): Use the right attribute to determine the

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

to create all supported formats.

Fred Drake
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.

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.

Clarify the example by explicitly importing the fcntl module -- this

avoid being fooled into thinking that fcntl and FCNTL are the same

to do locking now. That's for someone else to fix...)
