498c18f4d0 Only use one initialization file for LaTeX2HTML; more recent versions only
use the last one specified on the command line instead of all of them.
Smaller changes to reflect updated support.

f9b526dbfd More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are the
distutils patches, which I'll leave to the distutils maintainers.

Tip: review the patch like this:

grep "^[\!+-] " <patchfile>

To get a quick and easy way to review the actual changes. Most of the
changes are single-line ones, anyway.

f8316638af Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope
SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)

I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.

7399b9e6e4 Moshe Zadka <mzadka@geocities.com>:
Update the "in" / "not in" description to accomodate the current use
of the __contains__() discipline.  This patch also incorporates
suggestions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, minor markup
revisions from Fred Drake, and some rewording of the first affected
paragraph (also from Fred).

Closes SourceForge patch #100831.

acab3d61e9 Change the table in the pyexpat.errors module to a series of datadesc
elements (since the table was pretty screwed up); this is how it is done
elsewhere in the manual.

I could use some help creating descriptions of the specific error
identifiers (input conditions that lead to each error, etc.).

417c489def Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to write
a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read
back in by a future read() call.  Thus this class is now a back end
for .ini editors as well as parsers.

This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser
implementation which I have not yet fixed.  Because case information is
discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed.

I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.
Documentation for the new entry points included.

e1a85f5e4a Minor changes. Explain that for class exceptions, use excdesc but do not
document the constructor parameters.  Need a better way, but this will do
for now.

3c62d9e656 Several small changes, mostly to the markup, to improve consistency and
internal hyperlinking.  Move some things around, also for consistency
with other modules ("See also" stuff tends to live at the \section level,
before sub-sections, etc.).

c05cbb0527 Wrapped some long lines.
Cleaned up the table of error constants defined in pyexpat.errors; an
extra pair of braces had pretty much destroyed the table!  (Not sure why.)
Moved the pyexpat.errors module documentation into a \section with the
proper headers for a module.

This patch implements relative-path semantics for the "source" facility resembling
those of cpp(1), documents the change, and improves the shlex test main to
make it easier to test this feature.  Along the way, it fixes a name error
in the existing docs.
