Fred Drake 6e5e1d924c Minor change to match the style guide. 2001-07-14 02:12:27 +00:00
Fred Drake b4b64daa5e Add \ulink, grammar production markup. 2001-07-06 22:44:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 5445e5e305 \infinity,
\plusminus:  New macros to allow us to avoid math mode for these symbols.
2001-06-23 03:11:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 1bf198e946 Remove an extra tab character. 2001-06-22 18:36:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 852f7951a2 Separate the copyright statements and license text; include some new
comments regarding the history of Python licensing from Guido.
2001-06-20 21:34:35 +00:00
Fred Drake f911a84d5a Separate the version number and release status into two separate values. 2001-06-20 21:33:13 +00:00
Fred Drake c65218e1fd Add a little more support for describing version information. This
is not pretty, but does what is needed.
2001-06-20 21:17:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 06a01e84b9 Define a new environment, classdesc*, which can be used to document a
class without providing any information about the constructor.  This
should be used for classes which only exist to act as containers rather
than as factories for instances.
2001-05-11 01:00:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 635a7cfcbb Sync version number with the current CVS version.
(Note that the docs are also being maintained on the 2.1.1 maintenance
 branch, so users interested only in corrections and clarifications
 can get that.)
2001-04-18 05:02:01 +00:00
Fred Drake fdfb05bb0b \versionadded: Add support for including an explanatory note along with
the versioning information, similar to \versionchanged.
2001-04-18 03:08:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 3fee30407e Bump version number and set date. 2001-04-14 18:36:03 +00:00
Fred Drake c790e08ac1 Use "2.1c1" since that is what Guido used for the Python version number. 2001-04-12 04:34:26 +00:00
Fred Drake c5287ac66a Bump version numbers for upcoming release candidate. 2001-04-10 20:19:25 +00:00
Fred Drake b5309a956e Import the alltt package and wrap that environment in a similar way to
the way we handle verbatim, so that it picks up the same indentation and
minipage behavior.
2001-04-10 15:53:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 697c9c9c71 In the typeset versions, the legal notices had grown past the one-page
size.  This constrains them to fit in one page again.
2001-04-10 05:26:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 6909642d38 Bump the version number. 2001-03-22 17:01:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 15e07f4442 Update to the current state of the universe. 2001-03-22 17:00:05 +00:00
Fred Drake ab357ecf7f Label classes and exceptions explicitly in the documentation (for their
*desc environments).
2001-03-02 18:57:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 8bcc4e8446 Commit this so CVS doesn't keep noticing the next version number. 2001-02-14 20:53:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 31ab298df6 Remove the dollar sign from the formatting of environment variables --
too Unix-specific, and not really needed.  (Already fixed the HTML
formatting, but forgot to mention it in the checkin for python.perl 1.94.)
2001-01-22 17:50:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a8690a0ad Make "PythonLabs" bold. 2001-01-22 17:48:23 +00:00
Fred Drake c49480ed51 Miscellaneous updates. 2001-01-09 21:40:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ed27d3189 Note that readframes() returns data in linear format, even if the original
is encoded in u-LAW format.  Based on suggestion from Anthony Baxter
<anthony_baxter@users.sourceforge.net>.

This closes bug #122273.
2000-11-17 19:05:12 +00:00
Fred Drake ec77e6590d Fix \withsubitem so that it actually works if the only indexing macro in
the content body is the \ttindex macro, which seems to match actual usage.

Adjust \funcline to restore the "index sub-item" for functions to be
" (in module <name>)" instead of " (in <name>)".  This is need to match
uses of \withsubitem throughout the documentation.  (Not ideal, but
gets achieves consistency.)
2000-10-30 06:22:22 +00:00
Fred Drake a33c566138 Avoid using \withsubitem and \ttindex internally; they have not proven
to be very robust.  Using \index directly fixes a lot of entries in the
index that had to be specifically read to determine that they had the
wrong parenthesized description.
2000-10-29 05:19:16 +00:00
Fred Drake f61eac425a Remove second horizontal line below table headers; it is just too
distracting.
2000-10-24 02:18:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 9d62943f24 Center the top line of the license page, to make it look just a little bit
cleaner.
2000-10-14 04:07:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 91eb3e8558 Update the release number and date. 2000-10-13 15:35:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 559b5c8892 Update for next planned release. 2000-10-05 03:24:00 +00:00
Fred Drake a9dd2eeb51 Update versioning for the next Python release. 2000-09-22 16:20:23 +00:00
Fred Drake cb0a0b3e80 New text about how to report bugs in Python and the documentation. 2000-09-21 21:32:14 +00:00
Fred Drake da72b93a01 Add new environments: longtableii, longtableiii, and longtableiv, to
support long tables which might break across page boundaries.  Otherwise
identical to tableii, tableiii, and tableiv.
2000-09-21 15:58:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 2964268db5 Allow the LaTeX markup descriptions to use the \moreargs and \unspecified
macros in the argument list position.
2000-09-21 15:53:54 +00:00
Fred Drake bd2d4f1252 Use the \setshortversion macro to specify the abbreviated version number.
This partially addresses SourceForge bug #114318.

Fix the release number -- this is supposed to be the *Python* release,
not the documentation release!  The later is given by the combination of
the Python release number and the date.  Add a comment so I can keep it
straight.
2000-09-14 20:28:26 +00:00
Fred Drake af2b71466a \shortversion,
\setshortversion:  New markup to help deal with Python having a "real"
                   version number and an abbreviated version number
                   used to create pathnames to the library installation.
2000-09-14 20:11:05 +00:00
Fred Drake e92cdba105 Documentation is good. Let's release more. 2000-09-12 21:08:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 48449985f4 \seetitle: New macro for building reference list content. 2000-09-12 17:52:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e607964d1 excclassdesc: New environment. For use in documenting class-based
exceptions which have interesting constructor signatures.

\pep, \seepep:  New macros.  Equivalent to \rfc and \seerfc, but
        referring to the PEP series instead of the Internet RFC
        series of documents.
2000-09-09 06:01:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 5cd0cefbd2 Remove the specific date -- back in development mode. 2000-09-07 18:56:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 8bdf0bf705 Fix PDF generation.
The \\ introduced in the \author in boilerplate.tex broke the PDF
generation because line breaks are not allowed in the "Document Info"
metadata stored in the PDF file.  This changes the line break to
a ", " (comma-space) in that context.
2000-09-05 15:19:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 82de71dae8 Minor nit to make this work a little better with the PDF generation fix.
This does not change the HTML or PostScript output.
2000-09-05 15:11:56 +00:00
Fred Drake c28425f4c6 Update license according to the LICENSE file in the source tree. 2000-09-05 04:32:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 05e4ef01a2 Set the date. 2000-09-05 03:13:38 +00:00
Fred Drake de9fec5f99 \citetitle: Format the title, not the optional URL! 2000-08-17 04:25:59 +00:00
Fred Drake cc2b81e7f3 \py@varvars: Merge the various definitions to be the simplist one that
does everything needed, and discard the older stuff that is not
	being used.
2000-08-03 17:38:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 885082ca67 Update, 'cause Guido said it should be this way. 2000-07-31 14:31:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 1cd3c14034 The new copyright / license. 2000-07-01 01:41:55 +00:00
Fred Drake 46346ec14e Try to make sure \code always uses roman (non-italic) text.
Change a 1.6 version number used in a an example in a comment to 2.0.
2000-06-30 17:57:05 +00:00
Fred Drake aad1d4b8f2 Update the release number & date, Guido's employer. 2000-06-30 15:35:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 51313f164c Define \seeurl in the seealso environment. Two parameters: url, why. 2000-05-09 16:18:44 +00:00
Fred Drake a6e8339e61 \versionchanged: Added optional parameter for explanation of change. 2000-05-02 17:28:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 64b72b6f4f Define \seerfc within the seealso environment. 2000-04-26 18:13:58 +00:00
Greg Ward c402fa122f Dropped '\tilde' and '\bslash' definitions. 2000-04-19 22:40:34 +00:00
Greg Ward 95da443447 Removed '\package' definition. 2000-04-19 22:36:33 +00:00
Greg Ward 822a86a955 Trying to placate Fred: redefine \tilde and \bslash; document everything.
Still some not-quite-standard definitions in here that I have to fix.
2000-04-12 01:44:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 493624941a \longprogramopt: New macro. 2000-04-11 18:47:59 +00:00
Greg Ward 08c68fc82d LaTeX macros for the Distutils manuals.
Perhaps these should be added to the standard Python style file?
2000-04-11 02:01:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a863da1f8 cfuncdesc environment:
When processing the optional parameter, don't append any text;
        let the pre-processor supply all of it.
2000-04-10 18:21:38 +00:00
Fred Drake ba82878a3b Merged changes from the 1.5.2p2 release. 2000-04-03 04:19:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 89af0776cd This branch is for 1.6 & forward. 2000-02-22 18:20:03 +00:00
Fred Drake d81b1b0ffa Set the date and version to reflect the actual status, not the last
released status.  Has to be changed just before publishing anyway.
1999-11-18 20:57:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 7b8195a209 \programopt: New macro, used to mark command-line parameters in the
text.  Looks like \program.

\citetitle:   New macro, used to mark titles of cited works (like the
              names of the Python manuals).  Accepts & discards an
              optional parameter that is only used by the HTML
              formatter.  Looks like \emph.
1999-11-09 17:02:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 919e74ce88 Darn! Forgot to re-target. 1999-07-02 15:27:14 +00:00
Fred Drake d85b5a418a Move the setting for secnumdepth to the document classes; make the numbering
for the manual class go one deeper than it previously did (\subsection
entries will now be numbered); no change for howto documents.

This makes it easier to refer precisely to smaller sections using \ref.
1999-06-29 18:15:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 66823029a4 \declaremodule: Typo. 1999-05-17 14:57:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 5bc8d99bce \declaremodule: Make this more robust. Only attempt to add an index
entry based on the module type if the type is known.
		 Otherwise, spit out a warning the the module type
		 parameter was bad and generate a "plain" index entry.

		 Without this, the bad module type was emitted as
		 text.

Problem noticed by processing Michael Hudson's docs for
bytecodehacks.
1999-05-17 14:47:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 84bd6f3b18 Change the look of \seemodule output to fit in better. 1999-05-11 15:42:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 250ba78565 Let's try again: new assertion. 1999-04-28 16:57:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 0a0fd595b3 \filenq: Like \file, but don't use single-quotes; this looks better
in tables.
1999-04-28 14:59:44 +00:00
Fred Drake d960dc81b5 Fix square brackets around optional parameters to macros. 1999-04-23 14:44:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 7bf96ca32d Make an assertion. 1999-04-22 14:16:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 30a535c0f7 Added support for adding environment/macro parameters more cleanly:
\op adds an optional parameter, and \p adds a required parameter.
These are only defined in the context of the parameter list parameter
of the envdesc and macrodesc environments.
1999-04-22 13:03:49 +00:00
Fred Drake cc10e0469a Just in case a copy of the documentation gets released somehow... 1999-04-13 21:22:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 9b8afdee44 Use more recent option to \pdfdest to not change the zoom factor.
This is in response to a comment from Wes Rishel <wes@rishel.com>.
1999-03-24 14:16:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 9466b9a10d Add some (commented out) macros to change the page size to the size of
typical published manuals, so people can more easily see what they're
really asking for.  ;-)

Revise the verbatim environment: simple implementation, but more
compatible if a document also add \usepackage{verbatim} at the
beginning.

Declare \modindex, \bimodindex, \exmodindex, and \stmodindex
obsolete.  These still work just fine, but \declaremodule should be
used instead.  The obsolete macros will print a warning on standard
out.
1999-03-18 16:18:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 1d8f07acbd Markup for documenting LaTeX macros and environments. 1999-03-16 16:08:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 0c275fa856 Added support for \platform, \platformof, and \ignorePlatformAnnotation. 1999-03-02 16:17:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 69d49d6378 Set target. 1999-02-15 15:02:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 2116d983bf Make \versionadded and \versionchanged less prominant -- neither bold
nor a separate paragraph.
1999-02-02 18:02:48 +00:00
Fred Drake aa2aea0e79 \py@linkToName: New macro to consolidate support for most internal
hyperlinking in the PDF version.  This also allows many of the
	macros that do this stuff to be a good bit more readable.
	Takes the target name and link content as parameters.

Use \py@linkToName for all internal links.
1999-01-27 17:37:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 9f253dc3ff \py@modindex: Format the index entry for the module index more like
that used in the "normal" index.  No visual difference, but
	more easily processed by helper scripts.
1999-01-26 19:23:09 +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.
1999-01-13 17:09:06 +00:00
Fred Drake dd7610cac9 Bump the date. Seems like fun. ;-) 1999-01-12 19:51:03 +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).
1999-01-04 16:15:02 +00:00
Fred Drake ae48aabb10 Update the date. 1998-12-22 18:27:22 +00:00
Fred Drake fa1cceb91f Make \var work correctly in math mode. 1998-11-30 14:42:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 1cbd196f96 Minor nit that fixes a bunch of indexing: the way the classdesc
environment saves the name of the last class described, method and
member descriptions were not picking it up correctly.  Thus, many
index entries were described as "( method)" instead of "(FooClass
method)".  Multiple entries were collapsed in the index when
methods/members from multiple classes share the same name.
1998-11-25 17:13:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 803b340888 Update the date. 1998-10-21 14:50:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 7f77db9530 Renamed myindex.ist to something more reasonable. 1998-10-19 21:45:52 +00:00
Fred Drake f9acc59c55 \itembreak,
\itemjoin:  Remove obsolete macros.

\itemnewline:  Rename to \py@itemnewline, since it's only used internally.
1998-09-09 15:27:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 3069c976cf Update date & version number for release 1.5.2a1. 1998-08-12 17:02:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 916f7c1e7c Better check in the date from the last magic-fix-release. ;-) 1998-08-11 13:14:08 +00:00
Fred Drake b75c615389 \moduleauthor,
\sectionauthor:  New macros to record attributions; no output.
1998-08-10 18:41:43 +00:00
Fred Drake 3f7b6fcea0 Ok, we'll try this again: update the release date. ;-( 1998-08-04 17:01:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 1e4973be73 Define stuff to allow simple HTML-only selection using TeX's \if<foo>...\fi
stuff.  \ifhtml ...\fi for HTML only.
1998-07-28 21:52:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 6481ba6251 Update the release date. 1998-07-27 21:10:54 +00:00
Fred Drake af958c7be2 \versionadded,
\versionchanged:  New macros.
1998-07-27 20:32:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 30e52653e1 {tableiv} environment: Four-column table.
\lineiv:  Row for {tableiv}.
1998-07-24 22:11:29 +00:00
Fred Drake c2aa9fbad9 Remove use of the avant package; Helvetica isn't as pretty, but works for
acroread.  The problem this solves is likely dependent on font availability,
so keeping things simple is a good solution.
1998-07-24 15:19:38 +00:00
