cebcc61d4d Patch #781126: Fix markup for add_fallback. Will backport to 2.3. 2003-08-05 05:54:15 +00:00

5d9c636faf init_myformat(): None of the "mark" values can be empty strings, or
LaTeX2HTML feels free to remove a surrounding element that
    contains no other content.  Since such an element is typically a
    named anchor used for hyperlinking, they should not be removed.
    Unfortunatley, making sure these marks are non-empty is the most
    direct way of avoiding this behavior.

Thanks to Dave Kuhlman for tracking this down; this was some excellent
detective work!

4ee2ff36d0 Clarified that TypeErrors can be raised by any
function (not just builtins).

The issue arose in a thread on comp.lang.python.

by returning an empty list instead of raising a TypeError.

0ceb9b1603 Change \code to \verb, because TeX merges the two dashes into a
hyphen, resulting in the output '-list-classifiers', not the correct
'--list-classifiers'.  I've verified that the line is now correct
in the DVI, PDF, HTML, and ASCII versions.

2491cd98c4 expose the C API subsection which was hidden from LaTeX in a comment. In
the info conversion the \comment LaTeX macro mapped to a Texinfo @ignore
macro.  Unfortunately, py2texi.el is not smart enough to avoid generating
links to the @ignore'd section, which causes makeinfo to croak.

Exposing this text is probably not the most correct thing to do, as this
documentation really belongs in the C API manual.  This does get the info
files generated, however, which is a more practical goal considering the
impending release of 2.3rc1.
