Re: [DOCS] Need help with SGML again
Roberto, Bruce, etc: OK, I'm almost done with the edits. My one problem is the cross-linking. The only examples of links I can find in the existing docs link to section headers. I need to link to particular paragraphs/terms/listitems. I can't figure out from the online stuff how to do this. -- -Josh Berkus __AGLIO DATABASE SOLUTIONS___ Josh Berkus Complete information technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] and data management solutions (415) 565-7293 for law firms, small businesses fax 621-2533 and non-profit organizations.

Do we want linking or do we want lots of duplicate text? What I have currently is: Basic Runtime Setup PostgreSQL's default runtime setup is very conservative, and more appropriate to an old workstation than a modern server machine. As such, you will certainly want to change some of the runtime settings before running PostgreSQL for the first time. After INITDB, database administrators should change most or all of the following settings, listed in order of how frequently they need adjustment. tcpip_socket max_connections shared_buffers sort_mem effective_cache_size random_tuple_cost vacuum_mem max_fsm_pages checkpoint_segments etc. It's obvious to me that for this each of the setting names should be linked to the listitem below for the individual setting. My only other choice would be to *repeat* the configuration text in the "Basic Setup" section, identical with the text below where the settings are defined. This does *not* seem effective to me. -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

I see vacuum_mem in "runtime-config-resource-memory". I assume you just have to point to that section heading. --- Josh Berkus wrote: > Bruce, > > > I have Peter on IM.

People, > I see vacuum_mem in "runtime-config-resource-memory". I assume you just > have to point to that section heading. Repeating the discussion on IRC for the benefit of other list members: Per our previous discussion, I'd wanted to set up the "Basics of Config" as a index linking to the various common options, and put the specific "how to set" text in each GUC var description. However, SGML does not permit me to do this. Instead, I will have to have a more-or-less completely seperate "page" (section) describing how to set the most common conf options, which will not be included in, or link to, the GUC var definitions themselves. Any thoughts on replacing Docbook with something else, someday? -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
