Fred Drake aaed9710e9 create_module_info(): New function: Modify a <section> to create a
<moduleinfo> element based on various meta information, and
	strip some cruftiness.  This is more usable for information
	extraction, and organizes the information more clearly.

cleanup_synopses():  Rewrite to use create_module_info(), so this
	will work with multi-rooted "documents".

1998-12-10 18:31:37 +00:00
Fred Drake fba0ba2a6f Added a transform to start cleaning up the modulesynopsis stuff a

When literal mode is entered it should exit automatically when the

1998-11-30 20:27:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 1ea5848b7b Oops, remove LaTeX2HTML version number. Could become wrong and isn't
needed, since it's always added to the comments in the page header
anyway.
1998-11-30 19:29:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 15796f791a do_cmd_textohtmlinfopage(): Rip out most of the boilerplate and move
it to the about.dat file.  Only what really needs to be

	Perl code.

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 e839199014 Fix indexing of func_code attribute; this is on a function, not a code

1998-11-25 17:09:19 +00:00

1998-11-24 17:40:33 +00:00

Fred Drake e743fd01ac Rationalize a word-space markup to not break in the LaTeX->*ML
conversion tools currently being constructed.

Add a chapter from Jim Fulton on using Misc/Makefile.pre.in.  Still
preliminary.  The "Dynamic Loading" chapter needs to be updated (and
possibly removed, since it's no longer an issue for most (any?)
users.
1998-11-24 17:07:29 +00:00

1998-11-23 16:30:18 +00:00
Fred Drake c16149b17b Some cleanup.
Don't duplicate the information on what's empty; rely on the input
data for that.  (This means that the DOM may need more work.)
1998-11-23 15:14:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 96b07a9453 Fix some minor problems.
Make the table of attribute information contain only one kind of

Fred Drake 95f4f92b47 First cut at a script to generate ESIS events from LaTeX source,

Fred Drake d82575d5bf Markup changes in the section on disciplines to match method descriptions
a little better, and produce better HTML.

Add some index entries.
1998-08-28 20:03:12 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f5a80a4a88 Describe what happens when ``raise C, x'' is called where C is a class
and x is not an instance of C (nor of a class derived of C).

Fred Drake 637af13dca There is no <ISINPUT> element, just <ISINDEX>. ;-) 1998-08-21 20:02:06 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 42db27fedc Added an example that uses signal.alarm() to time out an os.open() that
takes too long. This example relies on the fact that raising an
    exception in a signal handler causes the exception to be re-raised
    when the main line of the program resumes execution.  Is this guaranteed
    in CPython, or is this something that just happens to work by accident?

Also fixed a typo.
1998-08-18 19:38:54 +00:00

Fred Drake a0e4b78233 img_tag(): For \n to be interpreted as a newline, the string must use double

Fred Drake 697c1c7325 Some minor updates. 1998-08-12 17:13:28 +00:00
Fred Drake eb7fe4f5a1 Massive cleanup: Use Makefiles in subdirs properly, move most of the
detailed build rules to the subdirs.  Allow pretty much every useful target
to be built directly from the top dir (no change in output location).
1998-08-12 17:08:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 07b12f2497 Re-written to actually perform the conversion instead of using a sub-make

created if they need to be.
1998-08-12 17:06:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 3069c976cf Update date & version number for release 1.5.2a1. 1998-08-12 17:02:50 +00:00

Fred Drake 3d865424a7 New makefile which only contains the source dependencies specific to each
document.  The main Makefile will only contain rules and "system" dependencies.
1998-08-12 16:16:49 +00:00

Fred Drake 9f7adc4f22 Get the <IMG> sizes right for the navigation buttons. 1998-08-11 19:33:38 +00:00
Fred Drake a69ada66d0 Ok, blank.pbm is free to go.
The rest of these are new or replaced.  The buttons are now all the same
width.  They have the transparency set right.  They still need the attention
of a designer.  But they work, and we have a real button for the Modules
Index.
1998-08-11 18:52:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 1b9b210abf I think this is the last of them. 1998-08-11 18:50:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 7aac918029 Gosh, there's a lot of them.... 1998-08-11 18:47:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 704be95237 More files never used here..... 1998-08-11 18:42:30 +00:00
Fred Drake e528458155 Icons only needed if using the change control marks, which are bogus. 1998-08-11 18:40:03 +00:00
Fred Drake c83d7cac07 Remove files we never used; l2h would only use these if you use the
special "html" package, which we don't and won't.
1998-08-11 18:31:35 +00:00
Fred Drake af06a0b4ee Use Perl's rename() function instead of system(); there's no need for two
additional processes for each name change!
1998-08-11 18:17:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 211f22c1b1 Added the test package under "Frameworks". 1998-08-11 18:13:31 +00:00

Fred Drake 4756bb3e54 Documentation for the py_compile module. 1998-08-11 15:46:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 64c105d3d2 Added index entries.
Small markup nits.
1998-08-11 15:18:45 +00:00
Fred Drake f6b6bbceb6 Add a comment explaining that this script is probably not useful outside the
standard Python documentation, since the mkhowto.sh script is.  Let there be
no doubts....
1998-08-11 14:10:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 4d46487fe8 Make sure the icons/ directory is created even if only one document is
converted.
1998-08-11 13:18:52 +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 6aa5d482fb Control when/where navigation bars will appear: top & bottom of each page.
Include an additional button to the module index in the nav. bars if we
generate a module index.  Still need a button image, but the ALT text should
do for now.
1998-08-11 03:14:50 +00:00
Fred Drake bc74ca5203 Add a link to the Macintosh Module Reference here, too. 1998-08-10 21:48:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 295da24eaf New section header style.
Fix up a few synopses.
1998-08-10 19:42:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 62e436955b do_cmd_moduleauthor(),
do_cmd_sectionauthor():  Parallel the new macros.
1998-08-10 19:40:44 +00:00
Fred Drake b75c615389 \moduleauthor,
\sectionauthor:  New macros to record attributions; no output.
1998-08-10 18:41:43 +00:00
Fred Drake c817e27501 New style section headers. 1998-08-10 18:40:22 +00:00

	insert_index().
1998-08-07 20:51:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 077fffa874 The letter headings must be requested explicitly with --letters. 1998-08-07 20:49:54 +00:00
Fred Drake aa3f9fb7d5 By default, use a two-column index. 1998-08-07 19:52:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 7cbf462acf Allow multi-column indexes to be produced. 1998-08-07 19:50:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 66da9d69fc re is standard, not built-in. 1998-08-07 18:57:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ed9dcc10f8 Clarify that the Python interpreter lock need *not* be held by
PyInterpreterState_New() and PyThreadState_New() -- but that you may
use it to serialize calls to them.
1998-08-07 18:28:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cdf6af1233 Document gethostbyname_ex(). 1998-08-07 18:07:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 96e11029b8 Updated list of Library Reference files.
Added some dependencies to some of the HTML generation targets.
1998-08-07 18:01:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum aee5e26f4b Add warning that mutable argument defaults are evaluated only once;
with examples and workaround.  This keeps coming up, and I believe
that this section in the tutorial may have been (in part) the source
of the confusion.  While it didn't show examples with [] for a default,
it also didn't emphasize enough why that would be a bad idea, and
while it did say that defaults are evaluated at the point of function
definition, the example was not relevant for this issue.
1998-08-07 17:45:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 1a0b872665 At least mark the URL to the Packages essay using \url. 1998-08-07 17:40:20 +00:00

Fred Drake 0cb76200ef Guido's white background. 1998-08-07 16:43:29 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 92a6ed9940 Minor refilling of a paragraph... 1998-08-07 16:33:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 70da192f63 im_function --> im_func 1998-08-07 16:28:13 +00:00

Fred Drake 72d157e998 Shorten the module synopsis. 1998-08-06 21:23:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 9940bd717c Variant of AMK's patch to produce text versions of HOWTO documents.
This ensures that the text version uses latex2html's -split 1 option, without
affecting HTML produced in the same run, and also minimizes the number of
l2h runs needed if --split 1 was used for an HTML run.
1998-08-06 20:15:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 23a163454a Markup nit. 1998-08-06 15:33:55 +00:00

Fred Drake 11300cc71e build_html(): Simplify, so there's only one version of the latex2html
command line.

l2hoption():  Convenience function, to write out an option to the aux. init.
	file only if set.

Added --iconserver option to set the $ICONSERVER variable in latex2html; this
requires the use of an auxillary init. file since this can't be initialized
using a standard latex2html command-line option.  So the aux. init. file is
used for just about all the special options since it has to be written anyway
when $ICONSERVER needs to be set.
1998-08-05 04:48:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 1ca8fdc446 Remove modified setting of $ICONSERVER; this isn't the right way to do it. 1998-08-05 04:36:09 +00:00
Fred Drake 45f2601cf3 get_chapter_id(): Separate two aspects of string replacement to allow the
need for each to vary independently.
1998-08-04 22:07:18 +00:00
Fred Drake f54556efae Fixed wrapping on some long lines. 1998-08-04 20:53:55 +00:00

comments.
1998-07-28 21:53:34 +00:00

Fred Drake f7685d79e2 Fix up the synopsis table stuff so it gets things right at each chapter,
instead of stringing it all together.

Yay!
1998-07-25 03:31:46 +00:00
Fred Drake b3a3ed8f72 Update @INC so we can 'require' modules in Doc/perl/.
Call the localmoduletable handling once the document is complete & synopses
have been collected.
1998-07-24 22:17:34 +00:00
Fred Drake a0f4c94af6 Added module synopsis support with one (big) caveat: All the modules are

and everything else seems to be working fine.
1998-07-24 22:16:04 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 6a2fe26861 checkpoint before I throw this away 1998-07-24 20:55:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 579c8453c3 Checking in uninteresting changes (mostly window resizes :-)
before I remove all this cruft.
1998-07-24 20:54:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2babd7b151 Document getsize(), getmtime(), getatime(). 1998-07-24 20:49:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 89a79d19b7 Document makedirs(), removedirs(), renames() -- ESR-inspired super-versions
of mkdir(), rmdir() and rename() that make or remove intermediate
directories as well.
1998-07-24 20:48:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 7313b03469 My first Perl object. ;-)
SynopsisTable objects are used to store the table of module synopses for
a single chapter it the manual.
1998-07-24 20:34:59 +00:00
Fred Drake 246837d0f5 Fix markup of an \indexiii --> only two parameters were given. 1998-07-24 20:28:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d540509682 Changes copied from the FrameMaker version. Hardly anything (but then
this is the shortest chapter.)

Hurray, I'm done with this!
1998-07-24 18:56:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5399d68c4b Changes copied from the FrameMaker version. Not too much. 1998-07-24 18:51:11 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 56c2013d15 Changes copied from the FrameMaker version. Also documented some
previously undocumented features.

Packages and the import mechanism in general are still left
undocumented.
1998-07-24 18:25:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 34116ba933 Remove all-<format> targets in favor of just <format>.
Fix some comments.

For lib.pdf, run tools/toc2bkm.py to get "bookmarks" in acroread.
1998-07-24 15:42:12 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7c0240f112 e.g. -> e.g., 1998-07-24 15:36:43 +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
Guido van Rossum b193c95165 Document Ellipsis (not much of a documentation snippet, but at least
it's mentioned.
1998-07-24 15:02:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1eb200d360 Added 3 missing types: ComplexType, SliceType, EllipsisType. 1998-07-24 15:01:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 78a6ddbdd1 Move files around in a different way, so CVS picks up all the changes. ;-) 1998-07-24 14:27:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 3f8a59f146 Reflect file renamings for the Python Library Reference.
Fix style dependencies for HOWTO documents.
1998-07-24 13:58:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 64e3b43583 Move files around to get the names to match the module names except for
case.  Two modules (SocketServer, BaseHTTPServer) still don't match; those
names are just too long!
1998-07-24 13:56:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 889f53d4e0 Reduce the number of levels in the Table of Contents by one, mostly for the
Python Library Reference.  The other manuals do not suffer.

This does not affect HOWTO documents.
1998-07-24 13:54:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 13529c41e4 Remove item about one section === one module; done.
Add item about howto docs that use \localmoduletable problem for howto
documents.

(complex numbers, power operator).
1998-07-23 21:57:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 5420f3321d \textunderscore: Re-define with a width that's more appropriate for the
courier font used in Python code.  This still isn't *good*, but
	makes the width about right in most cases.  (Exception: it's now
	a little wide in \var words.)
1998-07-23 21:41:02 +00:00
Fred Drake cf0fb8bfee Document the 'p' format character.
Clean up some of the markup.
1998-07-23 21:18:25 +00:00

Barry Warsaw da00c878bd Added descriptions of EnvironmentError and OSError; updated IOError to
reflect its new place in the exception hierarchy; fixed typos, etc.
1998-07-23 19:57:35 +00:00
Barry Warsaw eef2cd14c9 Updated the description of os.error to reflect the fact that it is now
equivalent to exceptions.OSError.
