Thread: pagination in the PostgreSQL 7.2 Programmer's Guide
The TOC in the PostgreSQL 7.2 Programmer's Guide lists:
I. Client Interfaces ........................................1
1. libpq - C library ...................................1
Looking at the document itself, however, I note that these are on
two separate pages. The first of these pages has NO page number;
the second is numbered "1", as indicated in the TOC.
None of the other documents follow this practice. Wazzup?

It seems that a fix isn't trivial. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net

If someone works on the stylesheet, BTW, they might also want to force the start of each chapter onto an odd page. -r -- email: rdm@cfcl.com; phone: +1 650-873-7841 http://www.cfcl.com/rdm - my home page, resume, etc. http://www.cfcl.com/Meta - The FreeBSD Browser, Meta Project, etc. http://www.ptf.com/dossier - Prime Time Freeware's DOSSIER series http://www.ptf.com/tdc - Prime Time Freeware's Darwin Collection

You can also build the docs in two-sided mode, in which case you get components starting on the right-hand page, page header and footer alignment alternating between left and right, and all the other things you'd expect. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net

Seems reasonable; let's try it...
Judging from .../INSTALL, I should use gmake.
Looks like .../doc/src is the key directory.
Whoops! No READMEs in sight...
Hmmm. Nothing in .../doc/src/Makefile about "two-sided mode".
Aha. I see .../doc/src/sgml/Makefile, but nothing there, either.
% grep 'two-sided' *
% (ulp)
Would some assistance be too much to ask for? I'm not expert in (g)make,
PostgreSQL, SGML, or (*)TeX*, but I don't really think I should have to
be, in order to generate the needed PostScript files. If someone would
give me a bit of hand-holding, I _promise_ to keep good notes! Hey; I'll
even give you an acknowledgement if you like!

I guess what I was saying is that it's theoretically possible but no one has ever done it before. Actually, it turns out to be quite easy: make user.html # (to build the index) make user.pdf JADEFLAGS='-V %two-side%' # (or user.ps) The result looks correct, but you better check it thoroughly. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
