#5109: Topology documentation uses unexplained concepts
---------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  asgerpetersen  |      Owner:  robe
     Type:  enhancement    |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium         |  Milestone:  PostGIS 3.3.0
Component:  documentation  |    Version:  3.2.x
 Keywords:                 |
---------------------------+---------------------------
 `next_left_edge` is mentioned a the docs for `AddFace` and `Polygonize` in
 the topology documentation. For instance in
 https://postgis.net/docs/TopologyPolygonize.html it says "Note: This
 function does not use nor set the next_left_edge and next_right_edge
 fields of the edge table."

 However there is no documentation of what 'next_left_edge' means and what
 it does. The user is left without any way of figuring out what the
 consequences of that note are.
