distinct top-level node. Before they were all nested under an artificial
top-level node, uselessly chewing up horizontal space, and ensuring that
the only thing the user saw in the TOC upon opening the file was a single
collapsed top-level folder.
HTML (or, at least, proper in its view). The TOC file is now identical
to what the HTML compiler itself generates, except for whitespace and
a glitch identified below. The pretty-printing done by prechm.py is
pretty much destroyed for now; if you need it pretty-printed, just make
the Help Compiler save the files (it's got its own idea of pretty-
printing anyway).
Glitch: The title of Ref Man "2.1.6 Blank lines" shows up as a blank
for now. This is because the relevant entry in ref/index.html contains
nested anchors, and pychm really has no idea what to do with that. I
hacked it for now to avoid any error messages or worse insanity, and
filed a bug report against the docs.
methods to squash code duplication. Simplified several overly complex
chunks of logic. Built output strings more with string interpolation
instead of infix '+'. Added comments. Exploited recent Python features
(chiefly bool and augmented assignment).
to reference fields via names instead of meaningless little integers.
This turned up one case where the wrong little integer was being used,
in informative progress output. Fixed that too.
+ Increased size of the window the user sees the first time.
+ Arranged for the display to remember its last size and position.
+ Added a Favorites (bookmarks) tab.
+ Added the "Advanced Search" decorations.
Add a -r option; if given with a release number, the "What's New" document
is included with the relevant version number.
Update the text of the README distributed with the PostScript files to
reflect the changes in the user organizations in the Python community.
index file for the top-level directory. This makes it easier to use an
unpacked version of the documentation via file: URLs.
This closes SF bug #541257.
This moves styling to the stylesheet; the use of <dl> structures to control
style sometimes produced improper indentation of subsequent text in many
browsers when the text was already part of the <dl> structure (as in a
function or class description).
Add a method zfill to str, unicode and UserString and change
Lib/string.py accordingly.
This activates the zfill version in unicodeobject.c that was
commented out and implements the same in stringobject.c. It also
adds the test for unicode support in Lib/string.py back in and
uses repr() instead() of str() (as it was before Lib/string.py 1.62)
