1999-01-06 23:14:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 87e611e441 Replace the docs for reduce with an adaptation of its docstring, which
was actually clearer!

Fred Drake fcc5910090 Preliminary code to mark paragraphs. Seems to work, but very slow. 1999-01-06 22:50:52 +00:00

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.

1999-01-04 18:25:38 +00:00
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.

Typo reported by rwolff@noao.edu (Richard Wolff).

1998-12-28 19:03:24 +00:00

Fred Drake aaed9710e9 create_module_info(): New function: Modify a <section> to create a
<moduleinfo> element based on various meta information, and

	will work with multi-rooted "documents".
