From f9b526dbfd9d10f105c96bde76c39232472beb64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Wouters Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2000 19:05:38 +0000 Subject: More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are the distutils patches, which I'll leave to the distutils maintainers. Tip: review the patch like this: grep "^[\!+-] " To get a quick and easy way to review the actual changes. Most of the changes are single-line ones, anyway. --- Doc/ref/ref1.tex | 2 +- Doc/ref/ref3.tex | 10 +++++----- Doc/ref/ref6.tex | 2 +- Doc/ref/ref7.tex | 2 +- Doc/tut/tut.tex | 8 ++++---- 5 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/ref/ref1.tex b/Doc/ref/ref1.tex index c35f157..37fbad7 100644 --- a/Doc/ref/ref1.tex +++ b/Doc/ref/ref1.tex @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ fact you would probably end up implementing quite a different language.
