make cross link to "format" more specific
The section on dynamic SQL recommends "format", but the cross link goes to the top of page 9.4 not the "format" specific 9.4.1. This is particularly confusing as 9.4 only has one sub-section, so the TOC at the top of the page only has one entry. This makes it look more like a section header itself rather than a TOC. Leading you to believe you are already at the specific section you want. I don't know what to do about the visual misleadingness of single-entry TOCs in general, but at least we can make this specific cross reference more specific.

Broken link in Appendix H.3
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/external-pl.html Description: At https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/external-pl.html, the link to PL/Py is broken. Specifically, the link shown is http://python.projects.postgresql.org/backend/, which redirects to http://python.projects.pgfoundry.org/backend/ and returns 404. I don't know what the correct link should be, if any.

Some digging turns up that James Pye renamed it to pg-python and moved to github https://github.com/python-postgres/be but last commit was 4 years ago to add 9.3 support, so I guess we should just remove it.

Re: Broken link in Appendix H.3
Removing the PL/Py entry sounds right to me. How about adding plv8 (https://github.com/plv8/plv8) at the same time?
