Thread: Invalid example paths

Hi,

I've noticed that in the documentation there are path names that contain '...'.

On the pg_standby documentation page
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/pgstandby.html#AEN135991)
the examples for both Linux and Windows use three dots in the relative
path name in archive_command, and archive location's restore_command
parameter.

On the intarray page, an example shows "cd .../bench"

On the sepgsql page, another example shows "cd .../contrib/sepgsql"

Are these supposed to be ellipses?  It's not clear that they are, and
there's no mention of it on the conventions page.

Thanks

Thom

Yes.

I wouldn't have thought it would be necessary to spell that out.  The
path is obviously not valid if taken literally.
