Right, the upshot is that if the toolchain complains like this openjade:indices.sgml:101:28:E: [xref to REFSECT2 unsupported] then it means it cannot create a linkend text automatically and you need to supply the endterm attribute to tell it what text to use. If it doesn't complain, endterm should probably not be used. -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
