- <sect2 id="logical-replication-col-list-combining">
- <title>Combining Multiple Column Lists</title>
-
- <warning>
+ <warning id="logical-replication-col-list-combining">
+ <title>Combining Column Lists from Multiple Subscriptions</title>

Shouldn't the title be "Combining Column Lists from Multiple
Publications"? We can define column lists while defining publications
so the proposed title doesn't seem to be conveying the right thing.
