Peter Eisentraut	c29d7f02c2	Use DocBook XSL stylesheets for man page building ... This switches the man page building process to use the DocBook XSL stylesheet toolchain. The previous targets for Docbook2X are removed. configure has been updated to look for the new tools. The Documentation appendix contains the new build instructions. There are also a few isolated tweaks in the documentation to improve places that came out strangely in the man pages.	17 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	4ef8dc7a75	Rearrangement of the HTML docs build rules ... Set up proper makefile dependencies in the documentation build rules, especially around the HTML/index build. The problem we've had with all previous solutions is that we have used the same file name, such as HTML.index or bookindex.sgml, to mean different things at different stages of the build, and make can't distinguish that. The solution here is that the first jade run produces HTML.index, but does not require bookindex.sgml at all, and produces no other html output (the latter an idea from Alvaro). The second jade run includes bookindex.sgml, but does not recreate HTML.index. That way, when you change an sgml file, jade is run twice and at the end all dependencies are satisfied. Omitting the html output in the first stage also makes the full build a lot faster. When you run one of the print format targets, only the first jade run is run, then the print target-specific commands. If an HTML build has completed previously, the first jade run is skipped because the dependencies have already been satisfied. The draft and check targets for quick builds and syntax verification are still there.	17 years ago

Tom Lane	3e3bb36ee9	First rough cut at text search documentation: bare bones reference ... pages for the new SQL commands. I also committed Bruce's text search introductory chapter, as-is except for fixing some markup errors, so that there would be a place for the reference pages to link to.	19 years ago
Bruce Momjian	a134ee3379	Update documentation on may/can/might: ... Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways: may - permission, "You may borrow my rake." can - ability, "I can lift that log." might - possibility, "It might rain today." Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash". Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.	19 years ago
