[DOCS] PostgreSQL Documentation for use with GNOME/Yelp

2004-04-14 Thread Enver ALTIN
Hi,

Would you mind providing PostgreSQL documentation in a format for use
with Yelp, The GNOME Help Browser?

I think it's not a big and time-consuming task and I could be of some
help if needed.

I appreciate the way HTML docs are, but you know, Yelp provides
indexing, searching, easy navigation between chapters and so on which
IMHO are very handy.

OTOH, it would be handy a lot to provide a CHM for Windows folks out
there but it's a different story, though.

Thanks,

If you could tell us what that is and entails, we might think about it.

Yea, confusing.  The change was from:

and the date field order specification 

to:

and the input/output specification for year/month/day ordering

When I am in there, I take the opportunity to clean up the arrangement. 
If I don't my new text pushes everything out of alignment.

I guess I could make the changes, do a diff, then reformat before
applying to CVS.  Would that help?

Am I seeing correctly that this is actually just a one-word insertion?
You do your readers no favor by providing patches for comment that
consist largely of content-free rearrangement of line breaks.
