Added a --global-module-index option to specify a (possibly relative) URL

Oops. The value "0 or +1" for the category argument of PyErr_Warn()

c01f6e691b
Use a table to describe the keys to the locale information dictionary;

this is slightly easier to read than the list environment that had been
used.
2000-11-30 07:13:58 +00:00
e0b9deb3ce
Use small tables instead of bare \item markers to describe the contents
...
of return tuples. The bare \item took advantage of an implementation
detail when formatting in LaTeX, and was just wrong when generating HTML.
It also broke the XML conversion scripts, since there was no enclosing
list-like environment to contain them.
2000-11-30 07:12:54 +00:00

Substantial re-organization of the DOM documentation. The abstract API

interfaces are documented yet, but the structure is better set up to do
so.
There is still a lot to do here, but the shape of the documentation is

Use a subclass of buildindex.Node to clean up the HTML and get the

define_module(): Change the "index sub-item" for definitions at module
...
scope to be " (in module <name>)" instead of
" (in <name>)" to be consistent with \withsubitem

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

uses of \withsubitem throughout the documentation. (Not ideal, but
gets achieves consistency.)

Avoid using \withsubitem and \ttindex internally; they have not proven

Use the new support module instead of including all the getopt
...
processing and style information directly.

Factor out some of the presentation and shared code from mkmodindex and

a mkackshtml (not yet checked in).

Added deprecation notices to atof(), atoi(), and atol(), recommending
...
use of the float(), int(), and long() built-ins instead.
Fixed minor markup nit elsewhere (use of \optional).

Added \versionchanged comment to os.popen() noting that it was unreliable
...
in earlier versions of Python; this is useful information for people
interested in writing code that is portable across Python versions.
Suggested by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>.

Remove styling information that conflicts with or duplicates the stylesheet;
...
different browsers resolve the conflicts differently, and the "proper"
resolution is not what we actually want.

Use \obindex{...} instead of \indexii{...}{type} in many places; this is
...
more consistent with other index entries in the documentation.

Preliminary tool to troll through the CVS logs and LaTeX sources for
...
the names of people that should be in the ACKS file.
This relies on some personal code that is not yet available, but should
be by the time we release 2.0c1.

Remove old note that os.popen() on Windows is unreliable; this is no

$OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON: Don't define here; simply defining it overrides a
...
definition provided by previously loaded configuration code, and
testing whether it's defined isn't needed since the default was
false anyway.
get_link_icon(): Add support for $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_HEIGHT and
$OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_WIDTH, giving the dimensions of the icon
being used. This can make for faster page display. Both are
optional.
make_my_titlegraphic(): Fix insertion of the off-site icon link.
do_env_funcdesc(): Remove debugging print.
handle_rfclike_reference(): Remove trailing colon from first line; it
doesn't really make sense and looks bad if we add an icon to
mark off-site links.
