Fred Drake 8ecc705ba4 Added comment explaining the only warning produced by makeindex, since there
doesn't appear to be a way to fix that's reasonable.

Fred Drake 7154d382c3 Update indexsubitem for file attributes correctly. 1998-02-17 02:11:21 +00:00
Fred Drake a200faac55 \nodename{} must appear immediately after \section{} for the info conversion. 1998-02-17 02:10:41 +00:00
Fred Drake fac431e7d5 NNTP.xgtitle() description: Add a missing ")" from the response value
description.

NNTP.xover() description:  Adjust some markup for consistency.
1998-02-16 21:57:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 009ab92c12 Made the area for wildcards in the description wider, so we don't invade the
left margin.
1998-02-16 21:37:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 75fc045bf5 Fixed formatting of the program name for crypt.
Added another index entry.
1998-02-16 21:36:57 +00:00
Fred Drake ad51192a4f In the example file name, use the current Python version, not a hardcoded
value.

Use logical markup.
1998-02-16 21:25:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 2705e801d9 For the lists which describe the regular expression syntax, increase the
width available so we don't run into the left page margin.
1998-02-16 21:21:13 +00:00
Fred Drake b0f77d65db Use \version to get the current Python version number, where possible. This
can only be done in the running text, and not in {verbatim} environments.
1998-02-16 20:58:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 7506298dfb Mark up filename extensions consistently.
Logical markup.
1998-02-16 20:40:37 +00:00
Fred Drake b666c15c4a Normalization of markup. 1998-02-13 22:22:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 6e99adb1c9 Don't capitalize identifiers at the beginning of the sentence; re-write to
place them elsewhere so they get the right capitalization.
1998-02-13 22:17:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 01dbb88831 Fix some markup so that the right characters are printed.
"EOF" --> "\EOF{}"
1998-02-13 22:13:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 4a1efb63a9 Capitalize subsection title. 1998-02-13 22:10:21 +00:00
Fred Drake ab875b9a32 Make one paragraph wrap a little better. 1998-02-13 22:07:33 +00:00
Fred Drake a19bb9bbcf Capitalize first word in sentences, use periods at end. 1998-02-13 21:57:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 86b5dcec86 Change {datadesc} environments with empty descriptions to \dataline{}s; this
removes extra vertical space from the list of names, and makes the display
more similar to that used in the socket module, where several constants share
a description.
1998-02-13 21:55:21 +00:00
Fred Drake fc931ecf92 In description of sound_similar(), break up the markup for long
\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap.  This keeps
it from being too ugly.
1998-02-13 21:49:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 315b5d8a7f In description of __import__, second paragraph, break up the markup for long
\code{} at each embedded space, so that the words will wrap.  This keeps it
from running off the side of the page, and is only slightly weird.
1998-02-13 21:26:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 83bd081920 Minor stuff:
Explain what happens when a negative shift count is used (what exception).

Mark the title "Python Reference Manual" as \emph{}, for consistency.

"info" --> "information"

Tell more about the data attributes of file objects, using the {datadesc}
environment.

When refering the user to the language reference for information about
internal types, tell what internal types to expect information on.
1998-02-13 20:59:25 +00:00
Fred Drake fb74a463ad Add "Pretty Good Privacy" as well as "PGP" to the index. 1998-02-13 14:52:17 +00:00
Fred Drake c9c456ef69 In add_label_data() description, use "\samp{}" instead of "``\code{...}''"
to indicate the interpreted letters from the format string.
1998-02-13 14:48:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 7f6e2c45ec Use "\samp{...}" instead of "``\code{...}''" when showing markup fragments
in the running text.

For computed attribute and method names (where there's a \var{} part to
the name), use the non-indexing forms of \datadesc{} and \funcdesc{}.
This doesn't change the printed output, but removes 3 rejections from the
makeindex run and allows the LaTeX2HTML support to exclude these from the
index.

Fred Drake 2a4646c660 Remove obsolete pagenumbering / pagestyle cruft. 1998-02-13 07:08:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.

1998-02-11 22:55:55 +00:00

modules symbol and token.
1998-02-11 22:36:17 +00:00

Fred Drake 88223904c8 Add some index entries; switch to logical markup. 1998-02-09 20:52:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 65b32f7f74 Consistently use \POSIX{} to denote POSIX. There were at least two different
ways to do it previously (not counting module names).
1998-02-09 20:27:12 +00:00

Fred Drake 19b97b13fa Do the right magic to make \UNIX{} get sorted correctly in the index. 1998-02-09 20:16:18 +00:00
Fred Drake c58912426e Use the new RFC macros wherever RFCs are referenced by number. No other
changes.
