Thread: Capitalization of 'TimeZone' GUC

Hi all,

I noticed that the 'TimeZone' GUC is displayed in all-lowercase at:
  http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/runtime-config-client.html

when it should be camel-cased like 'DateStyle' and 'IntervalStyle'
above it, since that is how the GUC is displayed to users, e.g. as the
column name for 'SHOW timezone;'

Small patch attached.

Fixed that (you forgot to change xreflabel).  There are many other
places where this is "misspelled", but there are also many other places
where DateStyle is capitalized inconsistently.  It's perhaps not worth
fixing all that.

Thanks. TimeZone was the only mis-capitalized GUC <varname> which I
noticed while going through config.sgml, which is why I picked on it,
but I could easily have missed a few.
