c01f6e691b Use a table to describe the keys to the locale information dictionary; 
this is slightly easier to read than the list environment that had been
used.
 2000-11-30 07:13:58 +00:00
Fred Drake
e0b9deb3ce Use small tables instead of bare \item markers to describe the contents 
of return tuples.  The bare \item took advantage of an implementation
detail when formatting in LaTeX, and was just wrong when generating HTML.
It also broke the XML conversion scripts, since there was no enclosing
list-like environment to contain them.

f65ab1bf10 Added entries reflecting the separation of the abstract DOM documentation 
and the implementation docs for xml.dom.minidom.
 2000-11-29 06:11:29 +00:00
Fred Drake
eaf57aa44a Substantial re-organization of the DOM documentation. The abstract API 
is now separated from the supplied standard implementation.  Not all
interfaces are documented yet, but the structure is better set up to do
so.

There is still a lot to do here, but the shape of the documentation is
coming into line.

83ff4af1a3 Added information on the use of Unicode with the StringIO and cStringIO

17383b9ad7 Added information about the %r string formatting conversion. Added note 
about the interpretation of radix 0 for int(), and added description of
the optional radix argument for long().  Based on comments from Reuben

This closes bug #121672.

breaks things.

2ed27d3189 Note that readframes() returns data in linear format, even if the original 
is encoded in u-LAW format.  Based on suggestion from Anthony Baxter
<anthony_baxter@users.sourceforge.net>.

This closes bug #122273.
 2000-11-17 19:05:12 +00:00

53143bec9b Since LookupError can be raised by sys.setdefaultencoding(), we should not 
document it as only being a base class, not matter how unlikely this is
to affect normal users.
 2000-10-25 21:05:29 +00:00

669d36f02c Paul Prescod <paul@prescod.net>: 
Documentation for the xml.dom.minidom module & Python DOM API.

FLD:  I have revised the markup in some places and added a few minor
details to Paul's text, but that's it.  Given the substantial
structural differences with the bulk of the presentation, I will be
making additional revisions over the next few days.

66c9f0781d Note that the UserString/MutableString classes are far less efficient 
than the built-in string types (suggested by Moshe Zadka
<moshez@math.huji.ac.il>).

Clarified what "can be converted to a string" means.

Fixed a few markup nits.
