The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/docguide-docbook.html
Description:
At
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/docguide-docbook.html
the NewbieDoc Docbook Guide link is to
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/metadoc/docbook-guide.html
which results in an HTTP 404.
I guess the project page is
https://sourceforge.net/projects/newbiedoc/
but it doesn't actually display the guide, so I guess one would have to
download and build it in order to read it? Also, the project was last
updated over ten years ago (2013-04-15). Maybe the reference to this guide
should just be removed?
