It looks like a simple bad reference name:

On this line:

- Fix the psql <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-psql.html&gt;
commands \sf and \ef to handle SQL-language functions that have
SQL-standard
function bodies
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/currenet/sql-createprocedure.html&gt;
(i.e. BEGIN ATOMIC).

the link for function bodies is called: "sql-create*procedure*.html"
and I believe it should be "sql-create*function*.html"

Side Note:
On such a posting is there no direct link to SUBMIT a correction (by
design?)

Thanks,

Kirk Out!

The end of the URL is correct. The problem is "currenet" should be
"current". I've made that correction. Thanks!

The release announcements go through the news system, which does not
have a feedback collection mechanism as anyone can post news. Emailing
pgsql-docs, or even better pgsql-www, seems to be good enough for this
case as we can quickly fix it, but I'm open to other suggestions.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Thank you. Good answer as well... I figured out to just send it here...

Well, that gives me an idea. In the release announcement, we could put a
line that says "You can send any corrections or suggestions to the
public pgsql-www@lists.postgresql.org mailing list" or something like
that. That way, it would remove the guessing on what to do.

Thanks. As I'd probably forget before the next update announcement, I
sketched out the draft of it to ensure it included a line[1]https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=press.git;a=commitdiff;h=c5d98a4a9caece103205d1a213b11fa96086bd13;hp=9bffe5a98298e034976708a29c88a98a4cec9831 around how
to report corrections/suggestions.

Thanks again!
