Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no

parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group. These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

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.

a594bafde7
Normalized case rules in section headings.
...
Moved stuff from "Recent Additions to 1.1" to "More on Defining Functions".
This means there's now a short section on "Defining Functions" immediately
followed by a long section "More on Defining Functions."

Small markup nits, a few grammatical fixes, and a clarification of the binary
...
mode for files under MacOS.
Updated the traffic figure for c.l.p in the "What Now?" chapter; see comments.

Fred Drake
6659c30b67
Convert LaTeX support to create a new class of documents. HTML generation
...
now requires LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 or newer (& and is still in progress).
This means that doing things to change the formatting of the manuals (at the
"normal user" level, like A4 paper), can happen in just one place, rather
than in each document file.

Remove \bcode / \ecode everywhere.
...
Make all the indentations in {verbatim} environments have column 0 of the
listing in column 0 of the file.
Remove pagenumbering / pagestyle cruft.
Use more logical and less physical markup.

In the appendix, all sections were marked as subsections, and so had section

Consistency: "{\bf ...}" ==> "\strong{...}"

Not at all sure what to do with "{\rm ...}".
Leaving it for now.

abstract. Alas, I didn't get to do anything else before the release
:-(
1997-12-30 04:40:25 +00:00
Fred Drake
eee08cdd54
Make examples consistently use 4-space indentation.
...
Use \file{} for file names.
Prefer \code{blat} and \emph{blat} to {\tt blat} and {\em blat}; this matches
current style in the Library Reference a bit better.
Made the example startup banner current. The version number should be
bumped before the next release.
1997-12-04 15:43:15 +00:00

Change Python-as-executable-script example to use "#! /usr/bin/env python"
...
since that's now the recommended way to do it.
In pickling discussion, change "code{pickle}" (not missing leading "\") to
"This" since the immediately preceeding sentence ended with the same text
(with the proper "\"). Fixes a formatting bug and an odd glitch in the
writing.

(tut.tex): Added matching \normalsize after \small font control command
...
(and the contents it was supposed to be affecting). The latest
LaTeX2HTML handles these, but didn't close it as expected. This
handles that problem and does not affect the PostScript output.
