| | | | | | | | | Update processing of module synopsis tables (found at the beginning of most chapters of the library reference) to reflect changes in the processing pattern of recent versions LaTeX2HMTL. Requires most recent change to SynopsisTable.pm. This does not fix the module index problem.
* excclassdesc: New environment. For use in documenting class-basedFred Drake2000-09-091-0/+19
| | | | | | | | exceptions which have interesting constructor signatures. \pep, \seepep: New macros. Equivalent to \rfc and \seerfc, but referring to the PEP series instead of the Internet RFC series of documents.

|
* Improve a couple of references to the language reference, making themFred Drake2000-09-091-7/+9
| | | | | | | | hyperlinks to relevant sections. Clarify the conditions under which the "softspace" attribute of file-like objects can "just work" (with relation to overriding of attribute access in user-defined classes).
* Minor clarifications in the introductory paragraph.Fred Drake2000-09-091-6/+7
|
* Add \modulesynopsis for inclusion in the list of modules at the beginningFred Drake2000-09-091-0/+6
| | | | | | | of the chapter. Add explanation that this is only available when the cycle detector is enabled at build time.
* Move the "See also" section to a location more consistent with otherFred Drake2000-09-091-6/+6
| | | | | module sections. Properly mark the name of the module in the content of the reference there.
* Move description of UserString.MutableString to a location more typicalFred Drake2000-09-091-9/+9
| | | | of the arrangement of other modules.

|
* Make the HTML more XHTML-friendly.Fred Drake2000-09-071-22/+22
| | | | Small nits in the layout of the generated markup.
* Wrap some long lines.Fred Drake2000-09-071-10/+23
| | | | Note that \file and \filenq do not work inside section titles.
* Remove the specific date -- back in development mode.Fred Drake2000-09-071-1/+1
|
* \file is not allowed in section titles -- converting to PDF fails due toFred Drake2000-09-071-3/+3
| | | | | | | weird macro-expansion issues. A better solution may be available in the future, but this will do for now. Add an index entry. More should probably be added as well.
* Remove comment about -X and string exceptions. Error noted byFred Drake2000-09-071-2/+1
| | | | Justin D. Pettit <jpettit@raznick.com>.

| | | | "manual" class documents.
* Fix PDF generation.Fred Drake2000-09-052-4/+12
| | | | | | | The \\ introduced in the \author in boilerplate.tex broke the PDF generation because line breaks are not allowed in the "Document Info" metadata stored in the PDF file. This changes the line break to a ", " (comma-space) in that context.
* Minor nit to make this work a little better with the PDF generation fix.Fred Drake2000-09-051-2/+2
| | | | This does not change the HTML or PostScript output.

|
* New method getnamespace.Sjoerd Mullender2000-08-311-0/+5
| | | | | | Since the application never gets to see the namespace abbreviation used in the XML document, but some applications may need to know them, we provide this method.
* Be a little more careful to avoid including style information in theFred Drake2000-08-311-13/+12
| | | | | | | | generated markup. Don't be careless with the navigation icons! We should use the blank icon where there is not anyplace to go for a particular position in the navigation bar.
