Subject: uncommon syntax in datatype.sgml

Message-ID: <fc6452f7-f0de-0cf1-8273-ccc3c6867fdf@postgrespro.ru> (raw)
Hi,
I have noticed uncommon English syntax in datatype.sgml, with two full
sentences following a colon in the same paragraph. I was inclined to
convert these sentences into a list, but this markup seems unpopular in
PostgreSQL docs for some reason. Please consider a less invasive patch
(attached) that fixes the issue.
