Fred Drake df84facf0d .use_latex(): Make this a little smarter so that it only runs pdflatex
once if all the temporary files are available from building
               a DVI file.  This can avoid two runs of pdflatex.

Fred Drake 51f53df4c8 Clarify that the softspace attribute is used by print for state management,
not as a user-controlled parameter.

sub-modules).

Marc-André Lemburg d1ba443206 This patch adds a new Python C API called PyString_AsStringAndSize()
which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.

The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890.

As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.

Fred Drake 1156f62348 Many small clarifications, including many suggested by email. 2000-09-19 18:10:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 02c7082745 make_nav_sectref(): Create more minimal HTML, hanging the class attribute
off an existing anchor tag if available (I think it
                     always is, but am not completely sure).
2000-09-19 15:36:19 +00:00

Tim Peters 1de8098ca6 Repaired some glitches in the MD5 and SHA docs; copied the descriptions of
the MD5 methods into the SHA docs (substituting "sha" for "md5", of course,
and changing the stuff that depended on digest size accordingly).
Fred, don't trust me!
2000-09-18 15:34:57 +00:00

Fred Drake 1cca9e29f9 Make the <body> tag match those of the generated HTML; rely on the style
sheet instead of encoding anything there.

Guido van Rossum c96ec6ef2b Document new APIs PyOS_getsig() and PyOS_setsig().
(Is there no macro to document a typedef?)

Fred, please check my latex!
2000-09-16 16:30:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 634fc574e1 Use a really ugly hack that depends on output processing by LaTeX2HTML.
This replaces the tilde character with the string ";SPMtilde;", which
LaTeX2HTML converts to a tilde on output.

FRED, please check my monkey-see-monkey-do Tex fiddling!

Fred Drake 7c25f3df85 Add some comments on the available implementations that this module can
use.

Change the list of flag values for open() to a table.

Markup consistency nits.

Fred Drake 81c1735809 Add item to the list of limitations that points out the lack of support
for authenticated proxies.  This is noted elsewhere, but this makes it
easier to find.

Fix typo where it was already mentioned.

This closes SourceForge bug #110619.

Fred Drake f3d41272c6 Before running LaTeX2HTML, remove all the HTML files from the output
directory.  This avoids acretion of HTML from previous runs which may
have a new name; this would have avoided a lot of the packaging problems
related to changing labels from the old distutils documentation.

Fred Drake aaa238585f When there is a Module Index, make sure the icon actually links to it. 2000-09-14 22:20:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 4dfad57235 Add a reference to the sha module, noting that SHA is considered more
secure.  Suggested by Erno Kuusela <erno@iki.fi>.
2000-09-14 21:47:32 +00:00
Fred Drake b9fd468ded Convert "See also" section to use \seetitle. 2000-09-14 21:46:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 33e0beaf77 Did not include the sha module documentation dependency. 2000-09-14 21:42:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 6ba0a3c30a Denis S. Otkidach <ods@users.sourceforge.net>:

(Clarifies output destination for default implementation of the write()
method.)
2000-09-14 20:42:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 7a666b83c8 Remove reference to the stdwin-based windowed debugger, since stdwin
is gone.

Make a module reference into a hyperlink.
2000-09-14 20:32:17 +00:00
Fred Drake bd2d4f1252 Use the \setshortversion macro to specify the abbreviated version number.
This partially addresses SourceForge bug #114318.

Fix the release number -- this is supposed to be the *Python* release,
not the documentation release!  The later is given by the combination of
the Python release number and the date.  Add a comment so I can keep it
straight.
2000-09-14 20:28:26 +00:00
Fred Drake d5d0435617 Use \shortversion in a number of places.

Fred Drake 3cdb89d5ec do_cmd_shortversion(),
do_cmd_setshortversion():  Implementation for new markup.

convert_args():  New helper function.

do_cmd_optional():  Modified to understand when it is called from within
                    a convert_args() invocation.

do_env_funcdesc(),
do_env_funcdescni(),
do_cmd_funcline(),
do_cmd_funclineni(),
handle_classlike_descriptor(),
do_env_methoddesc(),
do_end_methoddescni(),
do_cmd_methodline(),
do_cmd_methodlineni():  Modified to use helper convert_args().

The convert_args() helper and related changes fix the generation of HTML
for the \optional markup, so that bogus </var>...<var> is not generated.
This closes SourceForge bug #113800.
2000-09-14 20:17:23 +00:00
Fred Drake af2b71466a \shortversion,
\setshortversion:  New markup to help deal with Python having a "real"
                   version number and an abbreviated version number
                   used to create pathnames to the library installation.

2000-09-13 00:12:37 +00:00
Greg Ward 1ed49eeb29 Changed/added a bunch of section labels so HTML files will be named nicely. 2000-09-13 00:00:58 +00:00
