Hi all,
This is my 1st patch ever in C :-)... I was just borried by a bad psql \H html output of an EXPLAIN
because it didnt respected spaces sent from backend like:
-> Sort -> Sort
I just remarked in this print.c the case of a white space wasnt handled in the function escaping special caracters to HTML codes, so I added it replacing a space by special html " " (& n b s p).
So we'll have now:
-> Sort -> Sort
... in the html generated
(see example at http://www.pack-solutions.net/~jpargudo/explain.html)
Then, every single space in the html source is replaced by this. The
source looks ugly, yes, I will look to *only replacing starting spaces* of each row of the EXPLAIN, thats will be my 1st patch ever, version 2 :)
So I post this patch only FYI.. I had much fun playing with C a bit :-) (yes, I dont code C, just a bit of Perl and Python).
Cheers! Thanks again for such a powerfull release.
