63b4dd33c9 Description of description was really confusing, and added some markup. 2002-12-12 19:35:00 +00:00

2c3bfc2a1a Raw documentation for the bdist_wininst postinstallation script.
People are already using it, so these docs are certainly better than
no docs at all. Markup is mostly missing and the layout is probably
ugly, but this can be fixed later.

Question: there are references to MS docs for the CSIDL_... constants
and the IShellLink interface. Are these pointers sufficient, or should
the MS docs reworded and repeated here?

e61f365b0b Document the available command line flags for bdist_wininst, which are
avaliable in the Python 2.2 branch.

I've left out some flags which are more thought for debugging, if
someone needs them, he can always look at the output of --help.

I'm sure Fred will make some adjustments, so I'll only mark this as a
2.2 bugfix candidate.

There are more options available in the current CVS bdist_wininst,
I will document them after this is in.

a09262e860 Comment out section titles for sections that have not been written yet;
there is no need to clutter a reader's life with those useless things.

Make the snippets of Python code conform to the standard style.

Suppress the "Contents" page for HTML; it is not needed for small documents
in the online environment since LaTeX2HTML generates lots of tables of links
anyway.

Various markup consistency nits.

5f52f7230c Checked in with Andrew's blessing, I leave the comments with which
this was posted to distutils-sig in.

Here is what I've hacked together over some spare time
at the weekend. I would appreciate feedback, as I've told
before I'm neither a great author, nor native english speaker,
nor anything else.

Mostly I've completed (and written) docs for bdist_wininst
(where I'm an experert for), also I've started some stuff
for the data_files and scripts option.

Should I continue in this way? Would others like to jump in?

Fred Drake
78489a362e Do not use \verb in the Python documentation -- it makes parsing the LaTeX
sources more difficult and other tools do not always work well with it.
Since we have better markup for this case, just fix it.
