* [[new text mostly by Jonathan, worked out in conjunction with Thomas]]jthorn2005-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | section E2.3.2 "Parameter object specification items": completely rewrite the description of INT parameters to (a) be unambiguous (b) agree with what the code seems to do (lib/sbin/parameter_parser.pl, near line 381), and hopefully (c) be easy to understand also change some surrounding text to consistently use \var{<name with multiple words>} for metavariables; previously the text had sometimes used that form and sometimes used \var{<name\_with\_multiple\_words>} for metavariables; git-svn-id: http://svn.cactuscode.org/flesh/trunk@4122 17b73243-c579-4c4c-a9d2-2d5706c11dac

* Effects a fix for PR 1343 and a partial fix for PR 989swhite2005-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was discussed on CactusMaint Wed, 27 Apr 2005 as Patch for PR 1913: ThornGuide and Latex errors (Note the 1913 seems to be a typo--it should have been 1343) Files changed: Makefile, doc/ThornGuide/Makefile Affects targets: ThornGuide, ThornGuide.pdf, <config>-ThornGuide UsersGuide, ReferenceManual, MaintGuide Main purpose: To give the user a sensible error message in case something goes wrong with latex'ing, pointing them to the appropriate latex log files, and stopping the build. Also, made on-screen messages a little clearer as to what is going on. Since the patch was posted, these additions were suggested and implemented. * Instead of copying the ps files to the doc directory, they are now moved (more efficient) * If ThornList is missing, make <config>-ThornGuide now complains. * Now also greps for LaTeX Warning, and complains if it finds one. Tested: Ran all targets on functioning CCL files, and on one with bad embedded LaTeX (a missing right-curley-bracket will do it). To Do: 1) make ThornGuide.pdf still doesn't work because pdflatex doesn't take eps files. Would ps2pdf be a suitable alternative? (PR 1937) 2) Erik and Jonathan would both like to see all latex warnings about preferences worked out. 3) Scripts that parse the CCL files still fail silently, resulting in incomplete documentation. git-svn-id: http://svn.cactuscode.org/flesh/trunk@4061 17b73243-c579-4c4c-a9d2-2d5706c11dac
