Comment:
Here's a new patch. This uses "sphinxify" from sagenb, which is good.
Following cremona's suggestion above, it also adds top level commands:
tutorial, manual, developer, constructions, each of which opens up the
named document in a web browser. Furthermore, it redefines "help" so that
it prints a short help message:
{{{
Welcome to Sage 4.2! To view the Sage tutorial in your web browser,
type 'tutorial()', and to view the (very detailed) Sage reference manual,
type 'manual()'. For help on any function, for example 'matrix_plot',
type
'matrix_plot?' to see display a help message, type
'browse_sage_doc(matrix_plot)'
to view the same message in a web browser, and type 'matrix_plot??' to
look
at the function's source code.
To use Python's online help utility, type 'python_help()'.
}}}
As you can see from this message, the old function "help" is now called
"python_help".
