11e9337cda3d Added \label{}s for logical addressing. Fred Drake <fdrake@acm.org> parents: 7277 diff changeset	34 additional parameters may be used to control the formatted

11e9337cda3d Added \label{}s for logical addressing. Fred Drake <fdrake@acm.org> parents: 7277 diff changeset	41 contained level is replaced by \samp{...}. By default, there is no
11e9337cda3d Added \label{}s for logical addressing. Fred Drake <fdrake@acm.org> parents: 7277 diff changeset	42 constraint on the depth of the objects being formatted. The desired
11e9337cda3d Added \label{}s for logical addressing. Fred Drake <fdrake@acm.org> parents: 7277 diff changeset	43 output width is constrained using the \var{width} parameter; the
11e9337cda3d Added \label{}s for logical addressing. Fred Drake <fdrake@acm.org> parents: 7277 diff changeset	44 default is eighty characters. If a structure cannot be formatted
