You are correct which is actually the argument that Gleu made to me about moving to XML. I did find however that if you ran postgres.xml through tidy it cleaned things up nicely. Secondly the make postgres.xml would be a one time thing. I would happilly take the time to get postgres.xml into a format that was reasonable and similar to how we currently do the postgres.sgml docs. > Same problem as with the authoring tools: that software > doesn't think that formatting of the XML source text is important. Well not authoring editors though.
