\begin{abstract}
\noindent
This document describes how to spammify sprockets. It is a useful
example of a Python HOWTO document. It is not dependent on any
particular sprocket implementation, and includes a Python-based
implementation in the \module{sprunkit} module.
\end{abstract}
\tableofcontents
Spammifying sprockets from Python is both fun and entertaining.
Applying the techniques described here, you can also fill your hard
disk quite effectively.
\section{What is Sprocket Spammification?}
You have to ask? It's the only thing to do to your sprockets!
\section{Why Use Python?}
Python is an excellent language from which to spammify your sprockets
since you can do it on any platform.
\section{Software Requirements}
You need to have the following software installed:
% The {itemize} environment uses a bullet for each \item. If you want the
% \item's numbered, use the {enumerate} environment instead.
\begin{itemize}
\item Python 1.9.
\item Some sprocket definition files.
\item At least one sprocket system implementation.
\end{itemize}
Note that the \module{sprunkit} is provided with this package and
implements ActiveSprockets in Python.
% The preceding sections will have been written in a gentler,
% introductory style. You may also wish to include a reference
% section, documenting all the functions/exceptions/constants.
% Often, these will be placed in separate files and input like this:
\input{module}
\appendix
\section{This is an Appendix}
To create an appendix in a Python HOWTO document, use markup like
this:
\begin{verbatim}
\appendix
\section{This is an Appendix}
To create an appendix in a Python HOWTO document, ....
\section{This is another}
Just add another \section{}, but don't say \appendix again.
\end{verbatim}
\end{document}
