 <title>Documentation</title>

 <para>
  The purpose of documentation is to make <productname>Postgres</productname>
  easier to learn, use, and extend..
  The documentation set should describe the <productname>Postgres</productname>
  system, language, and interfaces.
  It should be able to answer
  common questions and to allow a user to find those answers on his own
  without resorting to mailing list support.
 </para>

 <sect1>
  <title>Documentation Roadmap</title>

  <para>

     <para>
      Plain text for pre-installation information.
     </para>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      <acronym>HTML</acronym>, for on-line browsing and reference.
     </para>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      Hardcopy (Postscript or PDF), for in-depth reading and reference.
     </para>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      <acronym>man pages</acronym>, for quick reference.

  <para>
   There are man pages available, as well as a large number

   source tree.
  </para>

 <sect1>
  <title>The Documentation Project</title>

  <para>
   Packaged documentation is available in both
   <acronym>HTML</acronym> and <firstterm>Postscript</firstterm>
   formats. These are available as part of the standard
   <productname>Postgres</productname> installation. We discuss here
   working with the documentation sources and generating documentation
   packages.
  </para>

  <para>
   The documentation sources are written using <acronym>SGML</acronym>
   markup of plain text files.
   The purpose of <productname>DocBook</productname> <acronym>SGML</acronym>
   is to allow an author to
   specify the structure and content of a technical document (using the
   <productname>DocBook</productname> <acronym>DTD</acronym>),  and to
   have a document style define how that content is rendered into a
   final form (e.g. using Norm Walsh's 
   <productname>Modular Style Sheets</productname>).</para>

  <para>
   See
   <ulink url="http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~rosalia/mydocs/docbook-intro.html">
    Introduction to DocBook</ulink>
   for a nice "quickstart" summary of DocBook features.
   <ulink url="http://www.ora.com/homepages/dtdparse/docbook/3.0/">
    DocBook Elements</ulink>
   provides a powerful cross-reference for features of
   <productname>DocBook</productname>.
  </para>

  <para>
   This documentation set is constructed using several tools, including
   James Clark's 
   <ulink url="http://www.jclark.com/jade/">
    <productname>jade</productname></ulink>
   and Norm Walsh's 
   <ulink url="http://www.nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/">
    Modular DocBook Stylesheets</ulink>.
  </para>

  <para>
   Currently, hardcopy is produced by importing
   <firstterm>Rich Text Format</firstterm> (<acronym>RTF</acronym>) output from
   <application>jade</application> into
   <productname>ApplixWare</productname> for minor formatting fixups, then
   exporting as a Postscript file.</para>

  <para>
   <ulink url="http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/packages/TeX/systems/unix/">
    <productname>TeX</productname></ulink> is a supported format for
   <application>jade</application> output, but is not used at this time
   for several reasons, including the inability to make minor format
   fixes before committing to hardcopy and generally inadequate table
   support in the <productname>TeX</productname>
   stylesheets.</para>

 </sect1>

 <sect1>
  <title>Documentation Sources</title>

  <para>
   Documentation sources include plain text files, man pages, and html. However,
   most new <productname>Postgres</productname> documentation will be written using the
   <firstterm>Standard Generalized Markup Language</firstterm>
   (<acronym>SGML</acronym>) 
   <ulink url="http://www.ora.com/davenport/"> <productname>DocBook</productname></ulink>
   <firstterm>Document Type Definition</firstterm> (<acronym>DTD</acronym>).
   Much of the existing documentation has been or will be converted to <acronym>SGML</acronym>.
  </para>

  <para>
   The purpose of <acronym>SGML</acronym> is to allow an author to
   specify the structure and content of a document (e.g. using the
   <productname>DocBook</productname> <acronym>DTD</acronym>),  and to
   have the document style define how that content is rendered into a
   final form (e.g. using Norm Walsh's stylesheets).
  </para>

  <para>
   Documentation has accumulated from several sources. As we integrate
   and assimilate existing documentation into a coherent documentation set,
   the older versions will become obsolete and will be removed from the
   distribution. However, this will not happen immediately, and will not
   happen to all documents at the same time. To ease the transition, and
   to help guide developers and writers, we have defined a transition roadmap.
  </para>

  <para>
   Here is the documentation plan for v6.5:

   <itemizedlist>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      Start compiling index information for the User's and Administrator's Guides.
     </para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
     <para>
      Write more sections for the User's Guide covering areas outside the reference pages.
      This would include introductory information and suggestions for approaches to typical
      design problems.
     </para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
     <para>
      Merge information in the existing man pages into the reference pages and User's Guide.
      Condense the man pages down to reminder information, with references into the
      primary doc set.
     </para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
     <para>
      Convert the new sgml reference pages to new man pages, replacing the existing man pages.
     </para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
     <para>
      Convert all source graphics to CGM format files for portability. Currently we mostly have
      Applix Graphics sources from which we can generate .gif output. One graphic is only
      available in .gif and .ps, and should be redrawn or removed.

  <sect2>
   <title>Document Structure</title>

   <para>
    There are currently five separate documents written in DocBook. Each document
    has a container source document which defines the DocBook environment and other
    document source files. These primary source files are located in 
    <filename>doc/src/sgml/</filename>, along with many of the other source files
    used for the documentation. The primary source files are:

    <variablelist>
     <varlistentry>
      <term>postgres.sgml</term>
      <listitem>
       <para>
	This is the integrated document, including all other documents as parts.
	Output is generated in <acronym>HTML</acronym> since the browser interface
	makes it easy to move around all of the documentation by just clicking.
	The other documents are available in both <acronym>HTML</acronym> and hardcopy.
       </para>
      </listitem>
     </varlistentry>

     <varlistentry>
      <term>tutorial.sgml</term>
      <listitem>
       <para>
	The introductory tutorial, with examples. Does not include programming topics,
	and is intended to help a reader unfamiliar with <acronym>SQL</acronym>.
	This is the "getting started" document.
       </para>
      </listitem>
     </varlistentry>

     <varlistentry>
      <term>user.sgml</term>
      <listitem>
       <para>
	The User's Guide. Includes information on data types and user-level interfaces.
	This is the place to put information on "why".
       </para>
      </listitem>
     </varlistentry>

     <varlistentry>
      <term>reference.sgml</term>
      <listitem>
       <para>
	The Reference Manual. Includes <productname>Postgres</productname> <acronym>SQL</acronym> syntax.
	This is the place to put information on "how".
       </para>
      </listitem>
     </varlistentry>

     <varlistentry>
      <term>programming.sgml</term>
      <listitem>
       <para>
	The Programmer's Guide. Includes information on <productname>Postgres</productname>
	extensibility and on the programming interfaces.

    <productname>DocBook</productname> has a rich set of tags and

    obviously useful for well-formed documentation. The
    <productname>Postgres</productname> documentation set has only
    recently been adapted to <acronym>SGML</acronym>, and in the near
    future several sections of the set will be selected and maintained as
    prototypical examples of <productname>DocBook</productname> usage.

   <title>SGML Authoring Tools</title>

   <para>
    The current <acronym>Postgres</acronym> documentation set was written using
    a plain text editor (or emacs/psgml; see below) with the content marked up using 
    <acronym>SGML</acronym> DocBook tags.
   </para>

   <para>
    <acronym>SGML</acronym> and <productname>DocBook</productname> do not suffer
    from an oversupply of open-source authoring tools. The most common toolset is
    the emacs/xemacs editing package with the psgml feature extension.
    On some systems (e.g. RedHat Linux) these tools are provided in a typical full installation.
   </para>

   <sect3>
    <title>emacs/psgml</title>

    <para>
     <application>emacs</application> (and <application>xemacs</application>) have
     an <acronym>SGML</acronym> <firstterm>major mode</firstterm>. When properly configured,
     this will allow you to use <application>emacs</application> to insert tags and
     check markup consistancy.
    </para>

    <para>
     Put the following in your <filename>~/.emacs</filename>
     environment file (adjusting the path names to be appropriate for
     your system):

     <programlisting>
; ********** for SGML mode (psgml)

(setq sgml-catalog-files "/usr/lib/sgml/CATALOG")
(setq sgml-local-catalogs "/usr/lib/sgml/CATALOG")

(autoload 'sgml-mode "psgml" "Major mode to edit SGML files." t )
     </programlisting>

     and add an entry in the same file
     for <acronym>SGML</acronym> into the (existing) definition for
     auto-mode-alist:

     <programlisting>
(setq
  auto-mode-alist
  '(("\\.sgml$" . sgml-mode)
   ))
     </programlisting>

     Each <acronym>SGML</acronym> source file has the following block at the
     end of the file:

     <programlisting>
<sgmltag>!-- Keep this comment at the end of the file

     The <productname>Postgres</productname> distribution includes a
     parsed DTD definitions file <filename>reference.ced</filename>.
     You may find that
    </para>

    <para>
     When using <application>emacs</application>/psgml, a comfortable way of working with
     these separate files of book parts is to insert a proper DOCTYPE
     declaration while you're editing them.  If you are working on this source, for instance,
     it's an appendix chapter, so you would specify the document as an "appendix" instance of
     a DocBook document by making the first line look like this:

     <programlisting>

  <title>Building Documentation</title>

  <para>
   GNU <application>make</application> is used to build documentation
   from the DocBook sources. There are a few environment definitions
   which may need to be set or modified for your installation.
   The <filename>Makefile</filename> looks for
   <filename>doc/../src/Makefile</filename> and (implicitly) for
   <filename>doc/../src/Makefile.custom</filename> to obtain
   environment information. On my system, the
   <filename>src/Makefile.custom</filename> looks like

   <programlisting>
# Makefile.custom
# Thomas Lockhart 1998-03-01

POSTGRESDIR= /opt/postgres/current
CFLAGS+= -m486
YFLAGS+= -v

# documentation

HSTYLE= /home/lockhart/SGML/db143.d/docbook/html
PSTYLE= /home/lockhart/SGML/db143.d/docbook/print
   </programlisting>

   where HSTYLE and PSTYLE determine the path to
   <filename>docbook.dsl</filename> for <acronym>HTML</acronym>
   and hardcopy (print) stylesheets, respectively. These stylesheet
   file names are for Norm Walsh's
   <productname>Modular Style Sheets</productname>; if other
   stylesheets are used then one can define HDSL and PDSL as the full path
   and file name for the stylesheet, as is done above for HSTYLE and PSTYLE.
   On many systems, these stylesheets will be found in packages installed in 
   <filename>/usr/lib/sgml/</filename>,
   <filename>/usr/share/lib/sgml/</filename>,
   or
   <filename>/usr/local/lib/sgml/</filename>.
  </para>

  <para>
   <acronym>HTML</acronym> documentation packages can be generated
   from the <acronym>SGML</acronym> source by typing
   <programlisting>
% cd doc/src

  <title>Manpages</title>

  <para>
   We use the <application>docbook2man</application> utility to
   convert <productname>DocBook</productname>
   <sgmltag>REFENTRY</sgmltag> pages to *roff output suitable for man
   pages. At the time of writing, the utility required patching to
   successfully run on the <productname>Postgres</productname> markup, 
   and we added a small amount of new functionality to allow setting
   the man page section in the output file name.
  </para>

  <para>
   <application>docbook2man</application> is written in perl, and
   requires the CPAN package <literal>SGMLSpm</literal> to run. Also,
   it requires <application>nsgmls</application> to be available,
   which is included in the <application>jade</application>
   distribution. After installing these packages, then simply run

   <programlisting>
$ cd doc/src
$ make man
   </programlisting>

   which will result in a tar file being generated in the
   <filename>doc/src</filename> directory.

  <title>Hardcopy Generation for v7.0</title>

   The hardcopy Postscript documentation is generated by converting the

   After a little cleanup (see the following

  </para>

<!--
  <para>
   Some figures were redrawn to avoid having bitmap
   <acronym>GIF</acronym> files in the hardcopy documentation. One
   figure, of the system catalogs, was sufficiently complex that there
   was  not time to redraw it. It was converted to fit using the
   following commands:

    <para>
     <application>jade</application>, an integral part of the
     hardcopy procedure, omits specifying a default style for body
     text. In the past, this undiagnosed problem led to a long process
     of Table of Contents (ToC) generation. However, with great help
     from the ApplixWare folks the symptom was diagnosed and a
     workaround is available.
    </para>

    <step performance="required">
     <para>

      <programlisting>

done

exit
      </programlisting>

      where the script is adding <literal>{\s0 Normal;}</literal> as
      the zero-th style in the document. According to ApplixWare, the
      RTF standard would prohibit adding an implicit zero-th style,
      though M$Word happens to handle this case.

       <productname>Jade</productname> is not built using
       <productname>GNU autoconf</productname>, so you'll need to edit a
       <filename>Makefile</filename> yourself.  Since James Clark has been
       good enough to prepare his kit for it, it is a good idea to make a
       build directory (named for your machine architecture, perhaps) under
       the main directory of the <productname>Jade</productname>
       distribution, copy the file <filename>Makefile</filename> from the
       main directory into it, edit it there, and then run
       <command>make</command> there.
      </para>

      <para>
       However, the <filename>Makefile</filename> does need to be
       edited.  There is a file called <filename>Makefile.jade</filename> in
       the main directory, which is intended to be used with <command>make -f
	Makefile.jade</command> when building <productname>Jade</productname>
       (as opposed to just <productname>SP</productname>,
       the <acronym>SGML</acronym> parser kit
       that <productname>Jade</productname> is built upon). We suggest that
       you don't do that, though, since there is more that you need to change
       than what is in <filename>Makefile.jade</filename>, so you'd have to
       edit one of them anyway.
      </para>

      <para>
       Go through the <filename>Makefile</filename>, reading James'
       instructions and editing as needed.  There are various variables that
       need to be set.  Here is a collected summary of the most important
       ones, with typical values:
       <programlisting>
prefix = /usr/local
XDEFINES = -DSGML_CATALOG_FILES_DEFAULT=\"/usr/local/share/sgml/catalog\"
XLIBS = -lm
RANLIB = ranlib
srcdir = ..
XLIBDIRS = grove spgrove style
XPROGDIRS = jade
       </programlisting>
       Note the specification of where to find the default catalog of
       <acronym>SGML</acronym> support files -- you may want to change that
       to something more suitable for your own installation.  If your system
       doesn't need the above settings for the math library and the
       <command>ranlib</command> command, leave them as they are in the
       <filename>Makefile</filename>.

    <procedure>
     <title>Installing the <productname>DocBook</productname> <acronym>DTD</acronym> Kit</title>

     <step performance="required">
      <para>
       You'll want to place the files that make up the
       <productname>DocBook</productname> <acronym>DTD</acronym> kit in the
       directory you built <productname>Jade</productname> to expect them in,
       which, if you followed our suggestion above, is
       <filename>/usr/local/share/sgml/</filename>.  In addition to the
       actual <productname>DocBook</productname> files, you'll need to have a
       <filename>catalog</filename> file in place, for the mapping of
       document type specifications and external entity references to actual
       files in that directory.  You'll also want the <acronym>ISO</acronym>
       character set mappings, and probably one or more versions of
       <acronym>HTML</acronym>.
      </para>

      <para>
       One way to install the various <acronym>DTD</acronym> and
       support files and set up the <filename>catalog</filename> file, is to
       collect them all into the above mentioned directory, use a single file
       named <filename>CATALOG</filename> to describe them all, and then
       create the file <filename>catalog</filename> as a catalog pointer to
       the former, by giving it the single line of content:
       <programlisting>
CATALOG /usr/local/share/sgml/CATALOG
       </programlisting>
      </para>
     </step>

     <step performance="required">
      <para>
       The <filename>CATALOG</filename> file should then contain three types
       of lines.  The first is the (optional) <acronym>SGML</acronym>
       declaration, thus:
       <programlisting>
SGMLDECL docbook.dcl
       </programlisting>
       Next, the various references to <acronym>DTD</acronym> and entity
       files must be resolved.  For the <productname>DocBook</productname>
       files, these lines look like this:
       <programlisting>
PUBLIC "-//Davenport//DTD DocBook V3.0//EN" docbook.dtd
PUBLIC "-//USA-DOD//DTD Table Model 951010//EN" cals-tbl.dtd
PUBLIC "-//Davenport//ELEMENTS DocBook Information Pool V3.0//EN" dbpool.mod
PUBLIC "-//Davenport//ELEMENTS DocBook Document Hierarchy V3.0//EN" dbhier.mod
PUBLIC "-//Davenport//ENTITIES DocBook Additional General Entities V3.0//EN" dbgenent.mod
       </programlisting>
      </para>
     </step>

     <step performance="required">
      <para>
       Of course, a file containing these comes with the
       <productname>DocBook</productname> kit.  Note that the last item on
       each of these lines is a file name, given here without a path.  You
       can put the files in subdirectories of your main
       <acronym>SGML</acronym> directory if you like, of course, and modify
       the reference in the <filename>CATALOG</filename> file.
       <productname>DocBook</productname> also references the
       <acronym>ISO</acronym> character set entities, so you need to fetch
       and install these (they are available from several sources, and are
       easily found by way of the URLs listed above), along with catalog
       entries for all of them, such as:
       <programlisting>
PUBLIC "ISO 8879-1986//ENTITIES Added Latin 1//EN" ISO/ISOlat1
       </programlisting>
       Note how the file name here contains a directory name, showing that
       we've placed the <acronym>ISO</acronym> entity files in a subdirectory
       named <filename>ISO</filename>.  Again, proper catalog entries should
       accompany the entity kit you fetch.

     If you want to, you can also install
     <productname>JadeTeX</productname> to use
     <productname>TeX</productname> as a formatting backend for
     <productname>Jade</productname>.  Note that this is still quite
     unpolished software, and will generate printed output that is inferior
     to what you get from the <acronym>RTF</acronym> backend.  Still, it
     works all right, especially for simpler documents that don't use
     tables, and as both <productname>JadeTeX</productname> and the style
     sheets are under continuous improvement, it will certainly get better
     over time.
    </para>

    <para>
     To install and use <productname>JadeTeX</productname>, you will
     need a working installation of <productname>TeX</productname> and
     <productname>LaTeX2e</productname>, including the supported
     <productname>tools</productname> and
     <productname>graphics</productname> packages,
     <productname>Babel</productname>, <productname><acronym>AMS</acronym>
      fonts</productname> and <productname>AMS-LaTeX</productname>, the
     <productname><acronym>PSNFSS</acronym></productname> extension and
     companion kit of "the 35 fonts", the <productname>dvips</productname>
     program for generating <productname>PostScript</productname>, the
     macro packages <productname>fancyhdr</productname>,
     <productname>hyperref</productname>,
     <productname>minitoc</productname>, <productname>url</productname> and
     <productname>ot2enc</productname>, and of course
     <productname>JadeTeX</productname> itself.  All of these can be found
     on your friendly neighborhood <acronym>CTAN</acronym> site.
    </para>

    <para>
     <productname>JadeTeX</productname> does not at the time of
     writing come with much of an installation guide, but there is a
     <filename>makefile</filename> which shows what is needed.  It also
     includes a directory <filename>cooked</filename>, wherein you'll find
     some of the macro packages it needs, but not all, and not complete --
     at least last we looked.
    </para>

    <para>
     Before building the <filename>jadetex.fmt</filename> format
     file, you'll probably want to edit the
     <filename>jadetex.ltx</filename> file, to change the configuration of
     <productname>Babel</productname> to suit your locality.  The line to
     change looks something like
     <programlisting>
\RequirePackage[german,french,english]{babel}[1997/01/23]
     </programlisting>
     and you should obviously list only the languages you actually need,
     and have configured <productname>Babel</productname> for.
    </para>

    <para>
     With <productname>JadeTeX</productname> working, you should be
     able to generate and format <productname>TeX</productname> output for
     the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> manuals by giving the
     commands (as above, in the <filename>doc/src/sgml</filename>
     directory)
     <programlisting>
jade -t tex -d /usr/local/share/docbook/print/docbook.dsl -D ../graphics postgres.sgml
jadetex postgres.tex
jadetex postgres.tex
dvips postgres.dvi
     </programlisting>

     Of course, when you do this, <productname>TeX</productname> will stop
     during the second run, and tell you that its capacity has been
     exceeded.  This is, as far as we can tell, because of the way
     <productname>JadeTeX</productname> generates cross referencing
     information.  <productname>TeX</productname> can, of course, be
     compiled with larger data structure sizes.  The details of this will
     vary according to your installation.
