* Removed bogus index entry for the type() built-in.Fred Drake1998-01-202-4/+2
| | | | | Marked title of the Python Reference Manual as \emph{}, like other Python manual titles.
* Proposed new macros: see comments. These are not yet used.Fred Drake1998-01-201-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | These are intended to support semantic markup. There are a number of places in the documentation where the exact meaning of an indentifier marked \code{} in the running text is ambiguous (could be a module or a class, a function or a method, etc.). These are intended to clarify the intent of the identifier for processing applications and more intelligent style processing.

* ni is a standard module, not a built-in module. The only other reference toFred Drake1998-01-202-4/+4

* Consistency: (Yes, I know this section is not formatted by default, andFred Drake1998-01-202-16/+20
| | | | | | | | | | isn't likely to be of much interest these days....) {\tt ...} ==> \code{...} Added \label{module-blat} for the two supporting modules. Added index entries for referred-to modules.
* Removed a confusing note about coercions and __r*__ operators.Guido van Rossum1998-01-194-153/+148
|
* Various updates to the effect that the group argument is always optional.Guido van Rossum1998-01-192-22/+30
| | | | Also documented that groups() now always returns a tuple.
* Add note about dropping latex 2.09 compatibility.Guido van Rossum1998-01-191-0/+1

* Consistency: Replaced 4 {\it ...} with \emph{...}.Fred Drake1998-01-192-4/+4

* Consistency: Replaced one {\tt ...} with \code{...}.Fred Drake1998-01-192-2/+2

* Consistency: In two places, change {\it ...} to \emph{...}.Fred Drake1998-01-192-4/+4

* Consistency: In two \section{} headers, change {\tt ...} to \sectcode{...}.Fred Drake1998-01-192-4/+4

* \funcitem{}, \dataitem{}, \excitem{}: Removed obsolete macros; there are noFred Drake1998-01-181-36/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | longer used anywhere. Use the {*desc} environments instead. \var{}: Ensure that the argument is always set in roman italic, in case an alternate font is being used for code. These keeps the result of \var{} consistent. Some minor changes to allow easier exploration of alternate fonts for code in the running text. Haven't changed the selected font; I haven't found one that has everything required! (The best non-monospaced font so far was missing the <, >, and | characters, or at least had them at the wrong locations. It also allowed confusion between upper-case I and lower-case L.)
* Use \emph{} for all references to the other documents, not just some of them.Fred Drake1998-01-162-8/+8

* Ouch: "accounces" ==> "announces"Fred Drake1998-01-152-2/+2
| | | | (In description of AbstractWriter class.)
* Consistency: "{\bf ...}" ==> "\strong{...}"Fred Drake1998-01-1434-60/+62
| | | | | | | "{\em ...}" ==> "\emph{...}" Not at all sure what to do with "{\rm ...}". Leaving it for now.
* Added the standard \label{module-*} for the two supporting modules.Fred Drake1998-01-142-0/+4
|
* Consistency: "Unix" ==> "\UNIX{}"Fred Drake1998-01-132-4/+4
| | | | Always include the comma *inside* the \optional{} markup!
* Augment \tableofcontents to do the right thing.Fred Drake1998-01-131-17/+18
|
* Removed \mytableofcontents; just use \tableofcontents.Fred Drake1998-01-138-8/+8

* Consistency: "unix" ==> "\UNIX{}"Fred Drake1998-01-132-2/+4

* Removed obsolete \kwindex{} call.Fred Drake1998-01-132-4/+10
| | | | | | Added "user configuration file", ".pythonrc.py file" to the index. Made reference to site module a {seealso} environment.
* Added "module search path" to the index.Fred Drake1998-01-132-0/+2
|
* Removed obsolete \kwindex{} calls.Fred Drake1998-01-132-30/+26

|
* &do_cmd_kwindex: Removed obsolete function.Fred Drake1998-01-131-1/+0
|
* Added command at end to use times fonts; commented out. Instructions to useFred Drake1998-01-131-0/+3
| | | | | | | times are there as well. Doing it here means the switch only affects one file and gets everything rebuilt as needed.
* Removed tarps2, tardvi targets based on comments from Guido.Fred Drake1998-01-131-32/+5
| | | | | | | | Added -9 option to gzip. This doesn't save much space, but it's "free" and appreaciated by those with slow modems. (With these tarballs, that means "those with modems"...!) Remove the two tarballs in the clean target.
* After discussion with Guido, agreed to only support double-sided PostScript,Fred Drake1998-01-131-95/+0
| | | | so we'll not need this shell whackery after all.
* Added openright option the the \documentclass{} for each of the manuals.Fred Drake1998-01-138-8/+8
|
* Added targets:Fred Drake1998-01-131-2/+40
| | | | | | | | | tarps - one-sided PostScript tarps2 - two-sided PostScript, with ref.ps added as-is. tardvi - yes, some people want the .dvi files all-ps2 - Create the .ps files, but make sure the LaTeX openright option is used in the \documentclass.
* Script to add & remove LaTeX \documentclass options. Run "./texoption.sh"Fred Drake1998-01-131-0/+95
| | | | for usage information.
* &make_mod_index_entry: Wrap a long comment, store the additional data neededFred Drake1998-01-131-3/+8
| | | | to create a module index in the HTML version.
* Override several functions from the stock latex2html to support the moduleFred Drake1998-01-131-0/+95
| | | | | | | | | index. It works, it's ugly, and would probably have to be completely redone if we changed latex2html versions. See the comments. ;-( On the other hand, it works. ;-) (Wait for myformat.perl checkin as well.)
* Added support for \funcline{} and \dataline{}.Fred Drake1998-01-121-24/+61
| | | | | | | For all generated cases of <strong>...</strong> (from this module), change to <b>...</b>. This, from me? This is entirely to reduce the size of the generated markup, which is more of an issue than semantics here. Since <strong> isn't very meaningful anyway, this should be good.
* Lots of minor markup nits, all consistency related.Fred Drake1998-01-122-150/+176
| | | | | | Consistently use trailing "()" on function / method names. Wrapped some long lines.
* Document maxsplit arg for split(), with incompatibility note about 1.5Guido van Rossum1998-01-122-6/+24
| | | | | | release bug. Document groups() changed behaviour (now always returns tuple).
* Wrapped some long lines.Fred Drake1998-01-122-86/+90
| | | | | | Added trailing "()" for function and method names. Added index entries for referenced modules.
* Modify command descriptions to use \optional{} instead of ad-hoc markup.Fred Drake1998-01-122-32/+32
| | | | There are still weirdnesses, but less of them.
* \optional{}: Removed leading word space, allowing more flexibility.Fred Drake1998-01-121-2/+2
| | | | | | {seealso} environment: Always start a new paragraph after the "See Also:" line; this ensures that formatting is consistent for each subsequent \see*{} item.
* Sigh. Apply a similar patch to the *other* occurrence of [^...].Guido van Rossum1998-01-122-2/+2
