Bruce Momjian af2e8a872d Documentation cleanup mention:
non-ascii                       convert to & escapes
2005-12-06 18:45:18 +00:00
Bruce Momjian dae896b67d Since my name has a non-ascii-letter in it, it's often spelled wrong. In
the latest release notes there is a latin1 character that shouldn't be
there so I made a patch to fix that. This patch also fixes some old
entries that uses o instead of &ouml; (which is also wrong but not as
bad as including a latin1 character in the sgml file).

Bruce Momjian d20901a39b Allow to_char(interval) and to_char(time) to use AM/PM specifications.
Map them to a single day, so '30 hours' is 'AM'.

Have to_char(interval) and to_char(time) use "HH", "HH12" as 12-hour
intervals, rather than bypass and print the full interval hours.  This
is neeeded because to_char(time) is mapped to interval in this function.
Intervals should use "HH24", and document suggestion.

Allow "D" format specifiers for interval/time.
