Guido van Rossum 264bd59221 1. Clarify that immutability isn't entirely the same as unchangeable
value (because of immutable containers containing mutable objects).

2. Document that func_code, func_defaults and func_doc / __doc__ are
now writable.

obnoxious <SPAN CLASS="arabic">...</SPAN> markup.
1999-02-19 23:04:59 +00:00
Fred Drake df5d50d889 Specify the sizes of H? relative to the normal font size as
percentages; using "large", "x-large" makes them too big for
some troublemakers.  ;-)

(Not specifying them at all causes some browsers to make them the same
size as normal text.  ;-(  )
1999-02-19 23:03:04 +00:00

Fred Drake 295fb434ed Make it clear that Demo/embed/ is from the source distribution. 1999-02-16 17:29:42 +00:00
Fred Drake beb27bfef7 Make navigation panels more CSS-friendly.
Make sure the contents page always has the "table of child links"
turned off; this wasn't being handled properly by latex2html for
"howto" ("article") documents, so just do it ourselves for all
document types.
1999-02-16 17:22:32 +00:00
Fred Drake e96a31da96 Use the same markup for email addresses as is produced by using \email
in the LaTeX sources.

first parameter to PyString_Concat().
1999-02-15 20:15:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 4d33e4e1a8 HTMLBASE: New variable. Make it easier to check an "installed" copy
of the HTML documents using the webcheck target.

When there's not a usable .aux file, use mkdvi.sh --aux instead of
building the .dvi completely.  This makes the most difference for the
library reference.
1999-02-15 19:29:08 +00:00
Fred Drake efa641c45a Add an optional parameter to make the script run latex only once to
generate an .aux file.  This can make HTML generation a bit faster
when print formats aren't needed.

Explained parameters in a comment.
1999-02-15 19:27:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 3618c14f72 Use a common definition for $(SUBMAKE) instead of repeating everything

since these are not available on Windows.
1999-02-15 16:34:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 5d59d3df7f Added --l2h-config option to add additional initialization files for
latex2html.  Can be useful in setting up things like the upward
external link for the top of the documents.
1999-02-15 16:27:42 +00:00
Fred Drake ec9fbe90be Added section "Providing a C API for an Extension Module" by Konrad
Hinsen.

"\C{}" --> "C"
1999-02-15 16:20:25 +00:00
Fred Drake efd146c916 Markup nits.
Added section on module objects; described functions in

names.

Markup nits.
1999-02-12 22:05:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 5761b766b2 L2HARGS: Specify the HTML version we're producing, since this is what
we generate anyway.
1999-02-12 21:42:23 +00:00

Fred Drake 28bc711f5f Added section for MimeWriter, contributed by Christopher Petrilli
<petrilli@amber.org>.

This spells the end of another whole section in the undoc chapter!
1999-02-12 19:26:09 +00:00
Fred Drake f7bf3b2b06 Added entry for MimeWriter module. 1999-02-12 19:24:02 +00:00
Fred Drake 15799edd34 Make table headers the same color as the navigation bars so they stand
out a little better.

Make sure the boxes for the last column of tables always get drawn;
these are often left empty of content when used as a "Notes" column.
They look a little better this way.
1999-02-12 19:23:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 7a9ed71e95 Moved the navigation-bar background color to a variable. 1999-02-12 19:00:38 +00:00

index.
1999-02-12 18:14:57 +00:00
Fred Drake 2e1ee3eb19 Fix up some routines to coordinate the "indexsubitem" stuff so that
the subitem text is updated correctly when each module section is
processed.

Print [<modulename>] when we start on \declaremodule so we can more
easily track progress during the library reference.
1999-02-10 21:17:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 72e5a901c2 Remove unnecessary <p> from top navigation bar. 1999-02-10 17:35:41 +00:00

Fred Drake 95474f9696 Change the navigation bar to be a little prettier and more consistent
with the python.org style.
1999-02-09 18:45:50 +00:00

symbol on it.
1999-02-09 18:27:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 2d1f81ea22 do_cmd_maketitle(): Small nit in creating the "title page". 1999-02-09 16:03:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 1a4c5392b5 Back out some of the fine tuning; something in all that interacted
badly in practice and botched the whole thing.  Wasn't obvious when
looking at the local effects (which worked), but completely broke
entire pages.  ;-(
1999-02-09 15:31:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ce67f06491 Update documentation to reflect changes to Queue.py by Tim Peters. 1999-02-08 18:43:13 +00:00
Fred Drake dfb4e24431 Respond to suggestion from "Albert" <hat@se-46.wpa.wtb.tue.nl> to add

directed to python-docs@python.org.
1999-02-05 20:50:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ff880e2cf More magic to tighten up a little of the formatting. 1999-02-05 18:31:29 +00:00

Fred Drake d673d481f5 Document sameopenfile(), samestat(). 1999-02-03 22:31:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 0256c1f453 Document splitdrive().
For all split*(), these split path *into* pairs, not split path *in*
pairs.  "Into" can be used for transformations, "in" is for
containment.
1999-02-03 19:24:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0c9608cf1b Portability fix for [f]statvfs() return tuple: no longer return the
f_fsid field, since it's not a scalar on all systems supporting this
call (in particular, it's a tuple of two longs on AIX).  Since it's
not particularly useful, just nuke it.  Adapted the doc strings too.
1999-02-03 16:32:37 +00:00
Fred Drake dbd37dfcff Remove three items. 1999-02-02 19:03:09 +00:00

Fred Drake 560bcae0f0 Added posixpath, winsound. 1999-02-02 18:59:58 +00:00
Fred Drake a9b9bf96fe Change this to be os.path.
Use consistent parameter naming with the os documentation (paths
always named "path" or "path1", "path2"...).
1999-02-02 18:58:33 +00:00
Fred Drake bb79438d26 This seems to fix a problem with targeting from the indexes. 1999-02-02 18:57:12 +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 d0bceeeb59 Move \versionadded macros to end of descriptions. 1999-02-02 18:00:40 +00:00

Clarified (hopefully :-) the documentation of elements and attributes
variables.

Fred Drake 59d8b73cef Remove all references to posixpath; only refer to os.path.
Formalize the xstat() documentation.
1999-02-01 20:19:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 98be47e737 OSError description: "as the by the" --> "as the" 1999-02-01 16:17:40 +00:00

the DTD.
1999-01-29 21:35:50 +00:00
Fred Drake 3a7ff998ac fixup_descriptors(): Change the way we look for descriptor nodes;

	reducing the number of tree-traversals from 14 to 1.
1999-01-29 21:31:12 +00:00

Fred Drake cb65781d93 Rewrite code that converts the little descriptor environments to build
the right <signature>s and <description>.  This seems to work a lot
better now!
1999-01-29 20:55:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 75930b31e2 Added table entries for \funcline and \funclineni. 1999-01-29 20:09:27 +00:00
