Re: [ft-devel] Custom search functionality & Python3 compatibility of 'docmaker'

[Nikhil Ramakrishnan]

Hi,

This did not work for me on Python 3. I believe string functions do not work the same in 2 and 3. For instance, there are many of these in content.py, which gives errors with 3. Please confirm.

I must admit that I haven't thought intensively how to improve the
`docmaker' tool for a forthcoming markdown usage.  Basically, I'm open
to all suggestions that work :-)

Nice, thanks!  Committed now.  The next time, however, please follow
the formatting within the source file.  In particular, you wrote

  print(ccc)

while everything else in the .py files uses

  foo( ccc )
