RE: Postgres docs in .chm format --- is this possible?

That sure looks nice, though. I've played around in the past with an
SGML tool chain of:

SGML->RTF->Custom Post Processor->WinHelp

but it never looked quite as good as the .CHM file below. Perhaps the
pgAdmin people should set up an automatic SGML->CHM conversion and
provide an option to ship the docs with pgAdmin. A searchable,
downloadable, bookmarkable HTML-based documentation set sure is nice.

The documentation doesn't change at random.  If the conversion was
based
on the documentation set provided with an official release then it's
just
as good as any other.
