So just drop everything down one level. There are 3 use cases: PITR, file-based replication and streaming replication. Having 3 separate sections would be less confusing since it would allow focused examples. A final section could be the "master reference" for defining those parameters. So having both separate and combined sections may end up being less confusing. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com
