I just did this. Noticed last night, after I had sent the e-mail
already.
Before sending you the tarball I have a question (and this was asked
me by a reader as well):
The declarations syntax is listed as follows:
name [ CONSTANT ] type [ NOT NULL ] [ DEFAULT | := value ];
The part that confuses me is the end. I assume that if you specify
DEFAULT you must specify a value. Am I right in understanding that
notation as meaning:
name [ CONSTANT ] type [ NOT NULL ] [ DEFAULT value | := value ];
or perhaps it could be written like this:
name [ CONSTANT ] type [ NOT NULL ] [ { DEFAULT | := } value ];

For _every_ line? Or you mean the <programlisting> sections? I am
using Emacs and PSGML so it indents it for me. I don't know how I could
change that or exactly what do you want me to change.
When I do a <TAB> in Emacs, it indents one space after the previous
element. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?
Oh, another question: from the file I have (plsql.sglm)), how do I
generate HTML output? I can do it with Jade for <article>s, but can't
seemto find the jade switches for chapters.

Thanks :)
