Python main documentation -- in LaTeX
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the LaTeX sources to the Python documentation
|
|
and a published article about Python.
|
|
|
|
The following are the LaTeX source files:
|
|
|
|
tut.tex The tutorial
|
|
lib.tex, lib[1-5].tex The library reference
|
|
ref.tex The reference manual
|
|
qua.tex, quabib.bib Article published in CWI Quarterly
|
|
|
|
All except qua.tex use the style option file "myformat.sty". This
|
|
contains some macro definitions and sets some style parameters.
|
|
|
|
The style parameters are set up for European paper size (21 x 29.7 cm,
|
|
a.k.a. A4, or roughly 8.27 x 11.7 inch) by default. To use US paper,
|
|
comment out the line saying \input{a4wide.sty} in myformat.sty (you
|
|
may want to fiddle with lay-out parameters like \textwidth and
|
|
\textheight, since the default format uses rather wide margins).
|
|
|
|
You need the makeindex utility to produce the index for ref.tex
|
|
lib.tex; you need bibtex to produce the references list for qua.tex.
|
|
|
|
There's a Makefile to call latex and the other utilities in the right
|
|
order and the right number of times. This will produce dvi files for
|
|
each document made; to preview them, use xdvi. Printing depends on
|
|
local conventions; at my site, I use dvips and lpr. For example:
|
|
|
|
make ref # creates ref.dvi
|
|
xdvi ref # preview it
|
|
dvips -Ppsc ref | lpr -Ppsc # print it on printer "psc".
|
|
|
|
If you don't have latex, you can ftp the pre-formatted PosytScript
|
|
versions of the documents; see "../misc/FTP" for information about
|
|
ftp-ing Python files.
