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.

Tom Lane	b21c569cea	Further improve consistency of configure's program searching. Peter Eisentraut noted that commit `40b9f1921` had broken a configure behavior that some people might rely on: AC_CHECK_PROGS(FOO,...) will allow the search to be overridden by specifying a value for FOO on configure's command line or in its environment, but AC_PATH_PROGS(FOO,...) accepts such an override only if it's an absolute path. We had worked around that behavior for some, but not all, of the pre-existing uses of AC_PATH_PROGS by just skipping the macro altogether when FOO is already set. Let's standardize on that workaround for all uses of AC_PATH_PROGS, new and pre-existing, by wrapping AC_PATH_PROGS in a new macro PGAC_PATH_PROGS. While at it, fix a deficiency of the old workaround code by making sure we report the setting to configure's log. Eventually I'd like to improve PGAC_PATH_PROGS so that it converts non-absolute override inputs to absolute form, eg "PYTHON=python3" becomes, say, PYTHON = /usr/bin/python3. But that will take some nontrivial coding so it doesn't seem like a thing to do in late beta. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/90a92a7d-938e-507a-3bd7-ecd2b4004689@2ndquadrant.com	8 years ago
Tom Lane	40b9f19217	Record full paths of programs sought by "configure". Previously we had a mix of uses of AC_CHECK_PROG[S] and AC_PATH_PROG[S]. The only difference between those macros is that the latter emits the full path to the program it finds, eg "/usr/bin/prove", whereas the former emits just "prove". Let's standardize on always emitting the full path; this is better for documentation of the build, and it might prevent some types of failures if later build steps are done with a different PATH setting. I did not touch the AC_CHECK_PROG[S] calls in ax_pthread.m4 and ax_prog_perl_modules.m4. There seems no need to make those diverge from upstream, since we do not record the programs sought by the former, while the latter's call to AC_CHECK_PROG(PERL,...) will never be reached.

Peter Eisentraut	510074f9f0	Remove use of Jade and DSSSL All documentation is now built using XSLT. Remove all references to Jade, DSSSL, also JadeTex and some other outdated tooling. For chunked HTML builds, this changes nothing, but removes the transitional "oldhtml" target. The single-page HTML build is ported over to XSLT. For PDF builds, this removes the JadeTex builds and moves the FOP builds in their place.	9 years ago
Tom Lane	f2386d7136	Fix configure's search for collateindex.pl. PGAC_PATH_COLLATEINDEX supposed that it could use AC_PATH_PROGS to search for collateindex.pl, but that macro will only accept files that are marked executable, and at least some DocBook installations don't mark the script executable (a case the docs Makefile was already prepared for). Accept the script if it's present and readable in $DOCBOOKSTYLE/bin, and otherwise search the PATH as before. Having fixed that up, we don't need the fallback case that was in the docs Makefile, and instead can throw an understandable error if configure didn't find the script. Per recent trouble report from John Lumby.	14 years ago

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.	16 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	f900afff3e	configure check for docbook2man program, used in the new XML-based man page build target. This covers from-source, Debian, and Fedora installation variants.	17 years ago

Tom Lane	faa1179678	Fix search for SGML stylesheets to include the place where Gentoo keeps them. Brendan Jurd	18 years ago
Bruce Momjian	36b0595d5e	Add /usr/local/sgml/docbook-dsssl to the default search patch for docbook style sheets, as discussed with Peter.	22 years ago

Peter Eisentraut	144a2ecd57	Make the detection of nsgmls more robust for funny shells.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	7fb9b5d434	This fixes 2 inaccuracies in the recently added SQL99 feature list docs. UNIQUE and DISTINCT predicates are both listed as implemented -- AFAIK, neither is. I also included another trivial patch which adds the default location of the DSSSL stylesheets on my system (Debian unstable, docbook-dsssl 1.76) to the list of paths that configure looks for. Neil Conway	23 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	2e32eca8d0	Allow detection of collateindex.pl in stylesheet directory or in path, which covers some recent installation schemes. Add Mandrake installation layout to directories to check for stylesheets. Allow documentation build to proceed if stylesheets were not found, in case the stylesheets might be found through the SGML catalog mechanism.	24 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	7c1ff35410	Upgrade to Autoconf version 2.53. Replaced many custom macro calls with new or now-built-in versions. Make sure that all calls to AC_DEFINE have a third argument, for possible use of autoheader in the future.	24 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	7267fdd7a3	Add some configure checks for DocBook and related tools. With a somewhat standard installation layout it should be possible to build the HTML and print documentation without additional manual setup.	25 years ago
