Fred Drake 93c867139f Lots of organizational changes for consistency with the rest of the
documentation.

Fix a few small markup nits.
2001-03-02 20:39:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 80d4c07775 There was a real leak in the "export a C API" example; fix that one.
(There are too many initspam() functions; they need to be renamed
post-beta.)

Fred Drake ab357ecf7f Label classes and exceptions explicitly in the documentation (for their
*desc environments).
2001-03-02 18:57:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 0539bfaaa4 There is no longer a -X option to the interpreter, so remove the comments
on how PyErr_NewException() behaves in that case.

Clarify why an owned reference is kept in an extension module's
variable that refers to the result of PyErr_NewException(); one reader
thought that was a leak.

Clean up some tabs and simplify some markup.

Fred Drake 043d5e5514 For copyfile(), be explicit that src and dst are file names; that was only
implied.

Fred Drake cfef0096f9 Job.build_html(): When formatting HTML into more than one HTML page, and
not doing the \label{foo} --> foo.html transformation (--numeric was
    specified on the command line), still look to see if there is an
    "About this document..." node and copy that to "about.html", since the
    page footers use that as the target.

Fred Drake 8c011580ff Use larger chunks for the HTML version of the Distutils documentation. 2001-03-01 18:38:56 +00:00
Fred Drake a9a83e9ee3 Comment out section titles for sections that have not been written yet;
there is no need to clutter a reader's life with those useless things.

Suppress the "Contents" page for HTML; it is not needed for small documents
in the online environment since LaTeX2HTML generates lots of tables of links
anyway.

Various markup consistency nits.
