Thread: postgresql documentation
Hi, I've noticed that the PDF version of the manuals for 8.0 and 8.1 are lacking bookmarks and/or TOC and document reference links. If this is generated via LaTeX, such links oculd easily be incorporated via the hyperref package. It would make the document much easier to navigate. -- % Randy Yates % "Midnight, on the water... %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % I saw... the ocean's daughter." %%% 919-577-9882 % 'Can't Get It Out Of My Head' %%%% <yates@ieee.org> % *El Dorado*, Electric Light Orchestra http://home.earthlink.net/~yatescr

Drake Hi Joshua, Well, it's tempting! Can you tell me how, using FC4, I can grab the documentation build environment from the repository and download it to my machine? I would love to be able to make a small contribution to such a fantastic project. -- % Randy Yates % "Watching all the days go by... %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % Who are you and who am I?" %%% 919-577-9882 % 'Mission (A World Record)', %%%% <yates@ieee.org> % *A New World Record*, ELO http://home.earthlink.net/~yatescr

You can find instructions on how to build the documentation in the documentation in Appendix G: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/docguide.html I'm not familiar with Fedora, but hopefully you'll be able to use rpms or even build the tools you need from source.

Fedora has rpms for all the docbook stuff... Look for docbook-tools I think it is. Joshua D.

The 7.4 and 8.0 manuals are missing the bookmarks/TOC, but the 8.1 manual does have them. Kris Jurka
