Subject: Any DocBook wizards on the list?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

There are some small but annoying buglets in the DocBook stylesheets
for the PostgreSQL manuals.  I'm not a DocBook wizard and neither,
AFAIK, is Peter Eisentraut.  Before I go out to the DocBook list and
ask for help, I thought I'd ask on this list.  Is anyone here willing
and able to jump into a stylesheet and make a couple of small (albeit
non-trivial, according to Peter) fixes?  Let us know...

P.S.  Here is a rundown of the problem area, for the curious:

>  Problem 1:
>
>  The TOC in the PostgreSQL 7.2 Programmer's Guide lists:
>
>     I. Client Interfaces ........................................1
>          1. libpq - C library ...................................1
>
>  Looking at the document itself, however, I note that these are on
>  two separate pages.  The first of these pages has NO page number;
>  the second is numbered "1", as indicated in the TOC.

>  Problem 2:
>
>  The default mode prints out pages which are optimized for single-
>  sided printing.  When I tried using the "two-side" option, I ran
>  into some breakage.  This should be re-examined _after_ Problem 1
>  has been resolved, to reduce the number of entities being changed.
