I think this must be some weird interaction between the docs
themselves and the HTML wrapper that's put around them to
make the online pages.
Can anyone diagnose this and fix it?

Yup, think I got it. The kludge of a program that loads the docs into
the database was adding a space at the beginning of the second and
subsequent lines inside <pre> tags. It's fixed for the 7.4 docs - at
some point I will reload the rest of them but I'm a little pushed for
time right now.

Regards, Dave

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/sql-syntax.html#SQL-SYNTAX-LEXICAL

the three example SQL statements should all be indented the same. Older
versions look the same, as do the "interactive" versions. But the
developer version of the docs is fine:

http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/sql-syntax.html#SQL-SYNTAX-LEXICAL

Someone must have fixed it:

SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE;
UPDATE MY_TABLE SET A = 5;
INSERT INTO MY_TABLE VALUES (3, 'hi there');

It isn't indented like the developer docs, but it isn't misaligned.

I did, and I responded to the lists. I'm seeing some duplicate messages
and long posting delays at the moment - is there a problem Marc?

any delays are most likely in that it, for some reason, is having to be
approved by myself ...
