I found that some of my changes get incorrectly formatted, but I don't know how to fix them. Assigning to Fred in the hope that he knows the proper incantations. - HTML version of 4.9.2 (standard encodings): The table is incorrect in the lines that have an empty Aliases column (e.g. cp874). The Alias ought to be empty, and "Thai" ought to occur in the third column - HTML version of 4.9.3 (encodings.IDNA) The first paragraph starts with a bogus "P>" - HTML of whatsnew, 17, "Support for internationalized domain names": The first line of Python prints as a guillemet, not as ">>" Notice that I used a non- preformatted enviroment so that I could output c-cedilla. - Postscript version of 4.9.2: the table is overfull in its width. It would be ok to wrap the aliases lists as much as necessary

Logged In: YES user_id=3066 - Standard encodings table: ouch! I'll see what I can do about this, but it'll take more time than I can spend right now. - encodings.idna documentation: That's a bug in the formatting software; hopefully I'll be able to fix it. Worked around it for now (Doc/lib/libcodecs.tex 1.20). - What's New document: I've worked around the problem so the interactive prompt shows up properly, but an extraneous space is generated at the beginning of the line; not sure why (Doc/whatsnew/whatsnew23.tex 1.144). - Postscript: I expect the PDF to exhibit the same problem. This is a general problem for tables with a lot of horizontal-mode material in LaTeX; I don't know how to work around this (yet).

Logged In: YES user_id=3066 Fixed table generation in HTML that caused cells to be dropped in the standard encodings table in Doc/perl/python.perl revision 1.140.

Logged In: YES user_id=3066 The original problem in the "What's New" document is worked around in the current CVS version of the formatting tools, so I no longer consider that to be an issue. The only remaining problem of those described in this report is the overly-wide tables in the PDF and PostScript formats, and that's a well known problem in the Python documentation. Closing this report as "fixed as we can make it for now."
