f3d41272c6 Before running LaTeX2HTML, remove all the HTML files from the output
directory.  This avoids acretion of HTML from previous runs which may
have a new name; this would have avoided a lot of the packaging problems
related to changing labels from the old distutils documentation.

bd2d4f1252 Use the \setshortversion macro to specify the abbreviated version number.
This partially addresses SourceForge bug #114318.

Fix the release number -- this is supposed to be the *Python* release,
not the documentation release!  The later is given by the combination of
the Python release number and the date.  Add a comment so I can keep it
straight.

3cdb89d5ec do_cmd_shortversion(),
do_cmd_setshortversion():  Implementation for new markup.

convert_args():  New helper function.

do_cmd_optional():  Modified to understand when it is called from within
                    a convert_args() invocation.

do_env_funcdesc(),
do_env_funcdescni(),
do_cmd_funcline(),
do_cmd_funclineni(),
handle_classlike_descriptor(),
do_env_methoddesc(),
do_end_methoddescni(),
do_cmd_methodline(),
do_cmd_methodlineni():  Modified to use helper convert_args().

The convert_args() helper and related changes fix the generation of HTML
for the \optional markup, so that bogus </var>...<var> is not generated.
This closes SourceForge bug #113800.

f913e542be Vladimir Marangozov <Vladimir.Marangozov@inrialpes.fr>:
Here are some changes to the C API docs. The memory examples & API have

You'll see other small additions to the "building new types" section
for completeness and some cleanup at the end of the memory section.

Update processing of module synopsis tables (found at the beginning of
most chapters of the library reference) to reflect changes in the

        series of documents.

hyperlinks to relevant sections.

Clarify the conditions under which the "softspace" attribute of file-like
