Is there a way to know what chapter you are in when on any page of the docs?
Maybe add to the navigation line at the top:

Home -> Documentation -> Manuals -> PostgreSQL 9.1 -> PUT YOUR CHAPTER HERE?

like this:

Home -> Documentation -> Manuals -> PostgreSQL 9.1 -> I. SQL Commands

That's not a bad idea either.

duh, I realize now why I was asking for this. None of the pages in the
VI. References section have the chapter values in the page titles
like the rest of the docs.

Yes, I see that now. They are numbered as roman numerals from I to III,
rather than using chapter numbers. Does anyone know why this was done?

true, also, I was saying if you get to a page underneath, such as in a
search for "alter database" you end up here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/sql-alterdatabase.html
where there no good way to know where you are in the chapter hierarchy.
Most pages have something to help you like:
2.4. Populating a Table With Rows
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/tutorial-populate.html
