Complete merge of all old man page information. ecpg reference page still needs formatting. 1999-07-22 17:09:15 +02:00			`<!--`
Remove cvs keywords from all files. 2010-09-20 22:08:53 +02:00			`doc/src/sgml/ref/postmaster.sgml`
Use PostgreSQL consistantly throughout docs. Before, usage was split evenly between Postgres and PostgreSQL. 2001-12-08 04:24:40 +01:00			`PostgreSQL documentation`

Refine some things to create better looking man pages. 2000-12-26 00:15:27 +01:00			`<refentry id="app-postmaster">`
doc: Improve DocBook XML validity DocBook XML is superficially compatible with DocBook SGML but has a slightly stricter DTD that we have been violating in a few cases. Although XSLT doesn't care whether the document is valid, the style sheets don't necessarily process invalid documents correctly, so we need to work toward fixing this. This first commit moves the indexterms in refentry elements to an allowed position. It has no impact on the output. 2014-02-24 03:25:35 +01:00			`<indexterm zone="app-postmaster">`

First copy from the man pages. postgres-ref.sgml is not yet marked up. 1999-05-26 19:25:38 +02:00			`<refmeta>`
Remove unnecessary xref endterm attributes and title ids The endterm attribute is mainly useful when the toolchain does not support automatic link target text generation for a particular situation. In the past, this was required by the man page tools for all reference page links, but that is no longer the case, and it now actually gets in the way of proper automatic link text generation. The only remaining use cases are currently xrefs to refsects. 2010-04-03 09:23:02 +02:00			`<refentrytitle><application>postmaster</application></refentrytitle>`

doc: Remove unused ids Some reference pages contained id attributes on refname elements. These were apparently copied around from ancient times, but they don't serve a purpose. FOP issues minor warnings about them. So it's easiest to just remove them. 2020-03-07 14:04:09 +01:00			`<refname>postmaster</refname>`
Merge postmaster and postgres command into just postgres. postmaster symlink is kept for now for compatibility. To call single-user mode, use postgres --single. 2006-06-18 17:38:37 +02:00			`<refpurpose><productname>PostgreSQL</productname> database server</refpurpose>`

Don't use SGML empty tags For DocBook XML compatibility, don't use SGML empty tags (</>) anymore, replace by the full tag name. Add a warning option to catch future occurrences. Alexander Lakhin, Jürgen Purtz 2017-10-09 03:44:17 +02:00			`<arg rep="repeat"><replaceable>option</replaceable></arg>`

Convert documentation to DocBook XML Since some preparation work had already been done, the only source changes left were changing empty-element tags like <xref linkend="foo"> to <xref linkend="foo"/>, and changing the DOCTYPE. The source files are still named *.sgml, but they are actually XML files now. Renaming could be considered later. In the build system, the intermediate step to convert from SGML to XML is removed. Everything is build straight from the source files again. The OpenSP (or the old SP) package is no longer needed. The documentation toolchain instructions are updated and are much simpler now.
