[postgis-devel] Docbook ID's and <a name> links

[Obe, Regina]

I see we have no slot for measurement functions and ST_Distance is
really a measurement function - are we combining those two?

If so we probably should change the title to 

Spatial Relationship and Measurement Functions


I think they should be combined anyway since I like the idea of
ST_DWithin and ST_Distance being next to each other.

Ok Regina, I've committed my changes to SVN.  I added a new 
"reference_new.xml" file to temporarily hold chapter 7.  Once the 
migration is complete and all the functions have been moved over to this

file using the <refentry> concept, we can drop reference.xml and rename 
reference_new.xml to take it's place.

I added a template.xml file simply to show how we can structure each 
refentry.  Please feel free to make any modifications you see fit to the

template or the new major section headings.

Mark, FYI, it seems the fix you recently made to the doc Makefile does 
not work on my FC3 system.  It can't seem to parse the file:
Makefile:41: Extraneous text after `else' directive
Makefile:43: *** only one `else' per conditional.  Stop.

Dane, I love the new stylesheet. It looks good. I have one suggestion, 
though.  Perhaps the <programlisting> tags should use a fixed-width font

so code examples look a little better.

Cheers,
Kevin
