* Man pages for 8.0 @ 2004-10-09 18:31 Peter Eisentraut <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Peter Eisentraut @ 2004-10-09 18:31 UTC (permalink / raw) To: pgsql-docs I've built man pages for 8.0 and put them at the usual place (/pub/dev/doc, not sure why they don't show up on the ftp server, though). We have the problem, however, that the man pages now have many links to other parts of the documentation, which cannot be represented well in a man page. The built man pages are currently full of things like """ Sets the default locale for the database cluster. If this option is not specified, the locale is inherited from the environment that \fBinitdb\fR runs in. Locale support is described in [XRef to LOCALE]. """ Not sure how to resolve that. Ideas? -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 3+ messages in thread

Umm, no, I have no problem with xrefs in runtime.sgml. The issue here is having xrefs from parts that are converted to man pages linking to parts that do not become parts of any man pages. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 3+ messages in thread
