Peter Eisentraut 3c49c6facb 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.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>CREATE TEXT SEARCH PARSER</command> creates a new text search
parser. A text search parser defines a method for splitting a text
string into tokens and assigning types (categories) to the tokens.
A parser is not particularly useful by itself, but must be bound into a
text search configuration along with some text search dictionaries
to be used for searching.
</para>
<para>
If a schema name is given then the text search parser is created in the
specified schema. Otherwise it is created in the current schema.
</para>
<para>
You must be a superuser to use <command>CREATE TEXT SEARCH PARSER</command>.
(This restriction is made because an erroneous text search parser
definition could confuse or even crash the server.)

are not given, since the argument list for each type of function is
predetermined. All except the headline function are required.
</para>
<para>
The arguments can appear in any order, not only the one shown above.
