=E2=80=8BThe failure for the PDF file to not wrap "code/syntax" blocks is n=
ot
limited to this one instance. The page for VACUUM (logical 1681, physical
1756) exhibits the same problem. I found this by happenstance during a
cursory skim of the PDF, there is at least one more instance in one of the
program syntax definitions but I gave up trying to re-locate it.
For the pl/pgsql page I could see trying to shorten it via:
expression -> expr
collation_name -> collation
That recovers 11 of the 9 required characters.
VACUUM is a bit tougher, we need at least 14 characters and there are only
two labels
The only cosmetic way to do this is to define
<OPTION> ::=3D { FULL | FREEZE | VERBOSE | ANALYZE | DISABLE_PAGE_SKIPPING =
}
VACUUM [ ( OPTION [, ...] ) ] [ table_name [ (column_name [, ...] ) ] ]
Non-cosmetically...
VACUUM [ ( { FULL | FREEZE | VERBOSE | ANALYZE | DISABLE_PAGE_SKIPPING } [,
...] ) ] [ tbl [ (col [, ...] ) ] ]
I'm hoping there is some kind of warning output during the PDF build
process that can help locate these kinds of problems. The only way to
solve them is to do what I did above - write an alternate form that is
shorter, ideally by changing labels (i.e., <replaceable>).
I don't know whether it is considered acceptable, or structurally correct,
to define "OPTION" that way but you get the idea. There is probably a more
idiomatic way to do that since long command sequences are not uncommon in
the docs and we seem to generally handle them well. Would like to give
someone more experienced a chance to comment before I go digging any deeper=
