Fred Drake d7acf02290 Adjustments to allow elements with subelements as parameters. This is
used to deal with the table headings and entries.

An additional flag in the element table is used to indicate elements
which have no "general" content, but which do have subelement
content.  These must be flagged distinctly from empty elements.
Currently used for \lineii, \lineiii, and \lineiv.

1999-01-13 17:11:52 +00:00
Fred Drake da94374a86 \seemodule: Fix so that each \seemodule entry gets its own paragraph,
so they don't get run together when there's no blank line
	between them in the source.  The HTML conversion already did
	the right thing.

\refmodule:  Refer to a module, using a hyperlink in the PDF version.
	Visually the same as \module.

Fred Drake 637ad47e61 convert(): Make sure no line has trailing whitespace. (docfixer.py
checks for \n\n as a paragraph separator, LaTeX allows white
	space between the newlines.)
1999-01-07 18:47:07 +00:00
Fred Drake c7dd3e11da Markup nit.
Add module synopsis.
1999-01-07 15:45:55 +00:00

format, can produce different pickle strings for the same object.

Fred Drake ccc627200a write_idxfile(): New function. Isolate format of the external index
data file used by buildindex.py.

next_argument_id():  Removed; no longer used.

next_argument():  Doesn't use next_argument_id(), just does the work.

gen_target(), gen_target_name():  Removed, no longer used.  The only
	place that used them now does the (trivial) work directly.


Lots of little changes so we never have to pass around $br_id values
all over the place.  The only places they're used now new IDs are
generated as needed.

Fred Drake b75d021081 Typo: "TWELV" --> "TWELVE"
Added note at top, since LaTeX style writers like to force name
changes when someone else makes a change to the style.  I'm sending a
note to the author reporting the error and asking for an updated
version.

This cannot be distributed in this form.  This will be resolved when I
get a response from Ulf Lindgren.

Fred Drake aaed9710e9 create_module_info(): New function: Modify a <section> to create a
