I updated to that version of lynx but am still seeing the Migration
headings left-aligned, rather than centered.

I wonder if the cause is my version of the sgml tools, rather than lynx.

What do you see in your HISTORY.htlm file for "Migration":

><DIV
CLASS="SECT2"
><HR><H3
CLASS="SECT2"
><A
NAME="AEN9"
>Migration to version 7.4.2</A

Hmm, I get

><DIV
CLASS="SECT2"
><HR><H2
CLASS="SECT2"
><A
NAME="AEN9"
>Migration to version 7.4.2</A
></H2

so the discrepancy is evidently <H2> vs <H3>.  In my HISTORY.html,
"Release Notes" and "Release 7.4.2" are both <H1> and then the
Migration heading is <H2>.

So indeed it looks like the discrepancy is in the SGML stylesheet.
I'm not real sure whether the <H3> interpretation should be preferred

Looking at the SGML, it seems the H3 interpretation is correct.  SGML
has:

    <appendix id="release">
     <title>Release Notes</title>

      <sect1 id="release-7-4-2">
       <title>Release 7.4.2</title>

       <note>
       <title>Release date</title>
       <simpara>2004-03-08</simpara>
       </note>

       <para>
        This release contains a variety of fixes from 7.4.1.
       </para>


       <sect2>
        <title>Migration to version 7.4.2</title>

Appendix/release should be H1, release-7-4-2 should be H2, and migration
H3.  I don't see any logic for appendix and sect1 be the same HTML
heading level because they don't seem to be the same level in SGML.

Check the version of your stylesheet.  It should be visible in the
<META> headers of the generated HTML somewhere.

Is this what you're looking for?

This qualifies as ancient.  Newer versions are available from

http://docbook.sourceforge.net/projects/dsssl/index.html

Okay.  I see that both postgresql.org and Bruce are generating the docs
with
    Modular DocBook HTML Stylesheet Version 1.7
Shall we standardize on that and lynx 2.8.5 as the current "official"
versions to use for building the docs?

Also, I'm running openjade 1.3 on this machine, and as I recall it was
a serious pain in the arse to build.  Is it worth worrying about a newer
version of that?

There is no version "1.7".  This is in fact a bug; the correct version
number of the latest version (which is in use at postgresql.org) is
1.78.

Works for me.

Well, there is 1.3.2 now, but I can't tell you how easy or hard to build
that one is.  There is also a 1.4 in the making, but the whole DSSSL
toolchain is sort of dying.

Having re-read my notes about installing 1.3 from source, I won't shed a
tear if it dies.  Should I be thinking of installing something else
instead, and if so what?

2.8.5 is a development release of lynx, not a stable one:

    Lynx Version 2.8.5dev.16 (01 Jun 2003)

Do we want to standardize on a development version of some tools?  It is
only converting to text, so I guess it is OK.

I downloaded the version of lynx Tom has just so I can generate the
newer output.  The only difference between my 2.8.3 lynx and 2.8.5 is
that 2.8.5 trips spaces on blank lines used between headings, which is
good.

I have also rebuilt the HISTORY file in CVS to match our official style
sheets.

I can help you because I just installed new tools a few months ago. I
will phone you.

2.8.5rel1 is a release version that has been out for some time.
If you're running a development version, that's not my problem.

Well, looking at:

    http://lynx.browser.org/

It mentions 2.8.3 as most current, and lists 2.8.5 under Development
Versions.

Why do you think that is authoritative?  Freshmeat shows lynx.isc.org
as the home site for lynx, and
http://lynx.isc.org/release/lynx2.8.5.tar.gz
as the current release.

I think the major advantage of 2.8.5 is https support. That isn't needed
for what you are doing, but is a good reason for someone to use it
as their browser in preference to earlier versions. I am using
2.8.5dev.9 and it seems to work reasonably well. The new scroll bar
function has an issue (copying text accross the scroll bar doesn't
work) so I don't use that feature.
