The middle sentence in the 'Note:' doesn't make much sense there (maybe it does when you know
pg_standby). In any case it seems better placed outside it.

I think the reason why that sentence is there is to explain WHY you
shouldn't try to use pg_standby with the built-in standby mode. I
agree that maybe the paragraph before the note could stand to be
fleshed out a bit - the phrase "a simple command" certainly might not
be totally clear to someone. But it's important for the note to
mention why pg_standby would not be suitable.
