Re: [PATCHES] Autovacuum docs

I don't see how to cleanly fit The auto-vacuum daemon in that sentence in a way that looks like a reference. So, in short, if there is a policy on this, I propose to update it to use endterm wherever the surrounding text allows it. IIRC the reasoning for not using endterm is that the docs should work well with output formats that don't have hyperlinks, e.g. print. There it is necessary to include the section number for easy navigation.

The other sect2 titles in this chapter capitalize only the first word. Again, I'm not sure how fully that convention is followed, but I think this would look better as The auto-vacuum daemon. More likely it's The autovacuum daemon without hyphen, which is the spelling the actual text uses. But I'd personally rather see consistent title capitalization on all section levels. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
