I just upgraded to libxml2 2.15.0 and now the docs no longer validate with the following error when running make html: /usr/bin/xmllint --nonet --path . --path . --output postgres-full.xml --noent --valid postgres.sgml ref/pg_combinebackup.sgml:317: validity error : standalone: normalization of attribute linkend on xref by external subset declaration state of the cluster using <xref linkend="app-pgchecksums "/> is ^ Downgrading to libxml2 2.14.6 fixes the validation. There's also an unreleased fix [1] for this regression. But I figure that it's best to just remove the insignificant whitespace with the attached patch.
