b86677079d Move the long minidom example to a separate file; \verbatiminput does the
right thing with page breaks in long examples, while the verbatim
environment does not.  This causes the example to wrap to the next page
instead of overwriting the page footer and bottom margin.

2dc07946bf Make sure that ampersand escaping is still performed on the contents of
local module tables (the lists of modules documented within a chapter,
inserted at the beginning of the chapter).  If this is not done here,
the text is not part of the resulting documents when latex2html does the
processing normally.

This fixes a little bit more of SF bug #451556.

5ef99a0bc5 Describe the new semantics for setting and deleting a function's
__dict__ attribute.  Deleting it, or setting it to a non-dictionary
result in a TypeError.  Note that getting it the first time magically
initializes it to an empty dict so that func.__dict__ will always
appear to be a dictionary (never None).

Closes SF bug #446645.

84e58ab722 For the escape() function, added a reference to the quoteattrs() function
in xml.sax.saxutils, since that is the right function to use for quoting
attribute values.
