9813fc1bae Make the documentation of GUC variables a separate chapter, rather than
a section of the "Server Run-time Environment" chapter. Also, move the
SGML for the new chapter to a separate file and fix the resulting
fallout.

ab3bb9cf78 Add some real documentation about TOAST (finally). Combine this with
the old 'page' chapter and the recently added 'filelayout' chapter to
make a coherent chapter about PostgreSQL's physical storage layout.

cdbf9b328e Move docs about index cost estimation functions and writing a procedural
language handler to the 'Internals' area, per my proposal of yesterday.
Clean up the trigger documentation a bit.  Push SPI chapter to the end
of its part, and reorder the Internals chapters into what seems a more
sensible order (at the moment anyway).

6de93c0529 Update preface.
Use question marks rather than brackets to delimit optional elements in
Tcl synopses.

Fix stylesheet misfeature leading to excessively long cross-reference text
when linking to a different "part".

Remove <body> attributes -- CSS stylesheets should handle that.

Improve bibliography formatting.

Add fast-forward links for more convenient navigation.

a6554df4f7 In an effort to reduce the total number of chapters, combine the small
chapters on extending types, operators, and aggregates into the extending
functions chapter.  Move the information on how to call table functions
into the queries chapter.  Remove some outdated information that is
already present in a better form in other parts of the documentation.

6f4a9fb119 Add User's Guide chapters on Data Definition and Data Manipulation.
Still needs to be filled with more information, but it gives us a
framework to have a User's Guide with complete coverage of the basic
SQL operations.  Move arrays into data type chapter, inheritance into
DDL chapter (for now).

Make <comment>s show up in the output while the version number ends in
"devel".

Allow cross-book references with entities &cite-user; etc.

b2e76d570b Revive Reference Manual, remove reference pages from User's Guide.
Make version.sgml the central place for updating version numbers in the
documentation.  Document titles now contain the version number of the
release they belong to.

filelist.sgml is the central (and only) place to declare system entities
(i.e., sgml files).  No longer a need to declare them in each document
header.

There is no longer any need to maintain duplicate chapter lists in
postgres.sgml and user/admin/etc.sgml, everything is build from the same
sources.  Some parameter entities allow for different text to be included
when the integrated or a single doc set is generated, which eliminates the
problems that had caused this to fail in the past.

lisp.sgml is a placeholder for Eric Marsden's upcoming contribution.
