From_ delimiter lines. With PortableUnixMailbox, any line that
starts with "From " is considered a delimiter (this should really
check for two newlines before the F, but it doesn't.

Change some wording to make this work with PDF generation -- using a PDF

hyperlink at the start of the paragraph confused pdflatex; it saw the

this is slightly easier to read than the list environment that had been
used.

e0b9deb3ce
Use small tables instead of bare \item markers to describe the contents
...
of return tuples. The bare \item took advantage of an implementation
detail when formatting in LaTeX, and was just wrong when generating HTML.
It also broke the XML conversion scripts, since there was no enclosing
list-like environment to contain them.

In the first discussion showing how to handle exceptions from C, make the

Python equivalent actually equivalent to the C code. Also, in the C code,
place the "goto" statements on a line by themselves for better visibility
of statements that affect control flow.

eaf57aa44a
Substantial re-organization of the DOM documentation. The abstract API
...
is now separated from the supplied standard implementation. Not all
interfaces are documented yet, but the structure is better set up to do
so.
There is still a lot to do here, but the shape of the documentation is

define_module(): Change the "index sub-item" for definitions at module

Adjust \funcline to restore the "index sub-item" for functions to be

Avoid using \withsubitem and \ttindex internally; they have not proven
