Some minor comments:

(1)
v88-0002

doc/src/sgml/logicaldecoding.sgml

"examples shows" is not correct.
I think there is only ONE example being referred to.

+    The following examples shows how logical decoding is controlled over the

(2)
v88 - 0003

doc/src/sgml/ref/create_subscription.sgml

(i)

BEFORE:
+          to the subscriber on the PREPARE TRANSACTION. By default,
the transaction
+          prepared on publisher is decoded as a normal transaction at commit.
AFTER:
+          to the subscriber on the PREPARE TRANSACTION. By default,
the transaction
+          prepared on the publisher is decoded as a normal
transaction at commit time.

(ii)

src/backend/access/transam/twophase.c

The double-bracketing is unnecessary:

BEFORE:
+ if ((gxact->valid && strcmp(gxact->gid, gid) == 0))
AFTER:
+ if (gxact->valid && strcmp(gxact->gid, gid) == 0)

(iii)

src/backend/replication/logical/snapbuild.c

Need to add some commas to make the following easier to read, and
change "needs" to "need":

BEFORE:
+ * The prepared transactions that were skipped because previously
+ * two-phase was not enabled or are not covered by initial snapshot needs
+ * to be sent later along with commit prepared and they must be before
+ * this point.
AFTER:
+ * The prepared transactions, that were skipped because previously
+ * two-phase was not enabled or are not covered by initial snapshot, need
+ * to be sent later along with commit prepared and they must be before
+ * this point.

(iv)

src/backend/replication/logical/tablesync.c

I think the convention used in Postgres code is to check for empty
Lists using "== NIL" and non-empty Lists using "!= NIL".

BEFORE:
+ if (table_states_not_ready && !last_start_times)
AFTER:
+ if (table_states_not_ready != NIL && !last_start_times)


BEFORE:
+ else if (!table_states_not_ready && last_start_times)
AFTER:
+ else if (table_states_not_ready == NIL && last_start_times)
