courier font used in Python code. This still isn't *good*, but
makes the width about right in most cases. (Exception: it's now
a little wide in \var words.)
of three macros, one which replaces some of the current conventions used in
the module sections:
\declaremodule: Requires two parameters: module type (standard, builtin,
extension), and the module name. An optional parameter should be
given as the basis for the module's "key" used for linking to or
referencing the section. The "key" should only be given if the
module's name contains underscores, and should be the name with the
underscore's stripped. This should be the first thing after the
\section used to introduce the module.
\modulesynopsis: Requires a single parameter: a short, one-liner
description of the module that can be used as part of the chapter
introduction. This should probably be placed just after the
\declaremodule, but may be placed anywhere in the same section.
\localmoduletable: No parameters. If a .syn file exists for the current
chapter (or for the entire document in howto docs), a synopsistable
is created with the contents loaded from the .syn file.
Some re-organization due to module synopsis support.
Some \def's changed to \newcommand's.
"." cannot be part of the target names either.
Appending a junk char to the end doesn't quite do it, or doesn't seem to at
any rate. Instead, pad the page numbers to always be 3 charaters wide, with
leading zeros.
Cleaned up some problems that caused minor warnings.
Added environments for object methods and members, with non-indexing variants.
This includes reduced use of the indexsubitem setting, allowing more robust
index generation.
Removed some unused definitions.
macro. Intended usage:
\withsubitem{(in module foo)}{\ttindex{myfunc()}}
This allows indexing functions from other modules/class/whatnot
without being dependent on the exact expansions of several macros
internal to python.sty. It's also easier to read in the source!
Some new "logical" macros that seem to be useful:
\regexp{}: For regular expressions. To make it easier to keep the appearance
consistent.
\mimetype{}: Don't use \code{}!
\envvar{}: Environment variable. This does some indexing as well.
\character{}: Just a character we want to talk about in the text, but not
a Python constant.
Don't generate the mod???.idx file if it wasn't requested with the new command
\makemodindex.
Change the format of mod???.idx to match that of "normal" .idx files. This
lets us use makeindex for it and not need a special script.
now requires LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 or newer (& and is still in progress).
This means that doing things to change the formatting of the manuals (at the
"normal user" level, like A4 paper), can happen in just one place, rather
than in each document file.
