2705e801d9 For the lists which describe the regular expression syntax, increase the
width available so we don't run into the left page margin.

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.

6e99adb1c9 Don't capitalize identifiers at the beginning of the sentence; re-write to
place them elsewhere so they get the right capitalization.

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.

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.

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.

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.

c9c456ef69 In add_label_data() description, use "\samp{}" instead of "``\code{...}''"
to indicate the interpreted letters from the format string.

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
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.

65b32f7f74 Consistently use \POSIX{} to denote POSIX. There were at least two different
ways to do it previously (not counting module names).

c660233cfb Update two of the \indexsubitem values to use singular rather than plural form
of "variable": each individual variable should be identified as a single
variable and not a collection in the index.

02505e4850 New version of xmllib from Sjoerd.
The main incompatibility is that the error reporting method is now
called as
 parser.syntax_error(msg)
instead of
 parser.syntax_error(lineno, msg)

This new version also has some code to deal with the <?xml?> and
<!DOCTYPE> tags at the start of an XML document.
The documentation has been updated, and a small test module has been
created.
