ed9dcc10f8 Clarify that the Python interpreter lock need *not* be held by

f8830d1de5 Convert recent additions to use new, "logical" markup.
I suppose we really do need a markup guide.  -sigh-

c94d9348ca In descriptions of Py_GetPrefix() and Py_GetExecPrefix(), make sure the
"--" at the start of the configure options isn't collapsed to "-" when the
HTML is generated.

2de75ec245 Don't assume that \version expands to the 3-character major.minor number; it
is the full release version name ("1.5.1beta1", for instance).

c6fa34e4d0 Markup consistency & nits.
Fix typo in a C code example:  KeyError is spelled PyExc_KeyError in C; the
"K" is upper case!

Some index entries.

On function signatures, always use parameter names.  Make return types match
what's in the header files.  When the return type is a pointer, always omit
the space between te type name and the "*"; leaving it in results in

	type * func(..)

and having two spaces there just looks terrible.

6659c30b67 Convert LaTeX support to create a new class of documents. HTML generation
now requires LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 or newer (& and is still in progress).

This means that doing things to change the formatting of the manuals (at the
"normal user" level, like A4 paper), can happen in just one place, rather
than in each document file.
