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.

??? 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.

I see vacuum_mem in "runtime-config-resource-memory".  I assume you just
have to point to that section heading.

People,

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?

Srikanth,

HACKERS and DOCS are not the appropriate mailing lists for your request.  If 
you need follow-up help, please join NOVICE or GENERAL.

See the articles at: http://techdocs.postgresql.org

The source code is what you download when you download PostgreSQL; go to our 
home page, http://www.postgresql.org
