Re: Doc bug

Hi Jim,

The code has been fixed by Bruce in response to my bug#2851 (
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2006-12/msg00191.php).

BTW, I don't know how to make sure that the effect of a doc patch looks fine
in a browser. I mean, how to view the doc/src/sgml/*.sgml in a browser,
nicely formatted as we see on our website!

I wish PostgreSQL community a very Happy New Year... Go ahead and give
closed-source a tough time :)
