To the person responsible. Before you create the next update to the PDF files, please do a review to correct all the prototypes that have their text being truncated at the right margin.  The respecting of margins means I may be able to use my e-book to read the pdf. I do a lot of commuting and

[DOCS] Why Produce PDF files?

2011-02-07 Thread Leslie S Satenstein
it appears that PDF files need no reformatting, and that it is ok to allow long command lines to be truncated by the right margins, or even better, that pronouns that refer back to a noun, are not specific enough.  One has to stop and think, --- to which noun is "this" (a pronoun) referring to.

Gentlemen Tom's rewording suites me fine as I am concentrating my efforts on chap 31 contents. Tom suggested: The bigint type should only be used if the range of the integer type is insufficient, because the latter is definitely faster. If you want to nit-pick just a bit more, consider: The

Hi Robert, If my email is not for the documentation group, please forward. I am not sure if this has meaning to PG users. In the 9.0.2 PG documentation that was posted concerning Julian dates, I noted that comments stated that Julian dates were used mainly for astronomical calculations. I w

I started to read the pdf file for version 9.0.2, since it is a document that I can peruse without being on the web. I found some text that, to my mind, did not read well. I could post in this email, some before after changes, but those would be my perceptions. I was shown to use GIT with SGL

[DOCS] Grammar and formatting errors for 9.02 pdf version

2010-12-21 Thread Leslie S Satenstein
I have been reviewing the documentation and in particular chapter 31.  I found quite a few grammar and formatting errors which make for a lot of head scratching about what to do. Are there any groups working on fixing up the doc?  Is there a desire to just leave it as is? --

Found a few mistakes, I believe that the problem stems from adobe and it's treatment of single quotes around a word. In other places, found differences between my default values (Fedora 14 and also Debian Squeeze), so I would like to ask what should be the correct values.  My two systems are 64b
