| | | | | | | | | SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-) I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an \index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{} does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a problem.

* Change the table in the pyexpat.errors module to a series of datadescFred Drake2000-07-111-21/+64
| | | | | | | | elements (since the table was pretty screwed up); this is how it is done elsewhere in the manual. I could use some help creating descriptions of the specific error identifiers (input conditions that lead to each error, etc.).
* Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to writeEric S. Raymond2000-07-101-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read back in by a future read() call. Thus this class is now a back end for .ini editors as well as parsers. This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser implementation which I have not yet fixed. Because case information is discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed. I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool. Documentation for the new entry points included.

* Several small changes, mostly to the markup, to improve consistency andFred Drake2000-07-063-37/+46
| | | | | | internal hyperlinking. Move some things around, also for consistency with other modules ("See also" stuff tends to live at the \section level, before sub-sections, etc.).

* Wrapped some long lines.Fred Drake2000-07-051-34/+48
| | | | | | | Cleaned up the table of error constants defined in pyexpat.errors; an extra pair of braces had pretty much destroyed the table! (Not sure why.) Moved the pyexpat.errors module documentation into a \section with the proper headers for a module.

* Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>:Fred Drake2000-07-031-36/+49
| | | | | | | | | This patch implements relative-path semantics for the "source" facility resembling those of cpp(1), documents the change, and improves the shlex test main to make it easier to test this feature. Along the way, it fixes a name error in the existing docs. [Additional documentation markup changes for consistency by FLD.]
