I just upgraded to libxml2 2.15.0 and now the docs no longer validate
with the following error when running make html:
/usr/bin/xmllint --nonet --path . --path . --output postgres-full.xml --noent --valid postgres.sgml
ref/pg_combinebackup.sgml:317: validity error : standalone: normalization of attribute linkend on xref by external
subsetdeclaration
state of the cluster using <xref linkend="app-pgchecksums "/> is
^
Downgrading to libxml2 2.14.6 fixes the validation. There's also an
unreleased fix [1] for this regression. But I figure that it's best to
just remove the insignificant whitespace with the attached patch.
