[PATCH] doc: Remove stray trailing whitespace in xref linkend attribute

Erik Wienhold <ewie@ewie.name> — 2025-09-22T00:58:16Z

Commit 205db0114e03 extended the pg_combinebackup docs with markup that
fails to validate with xmllint 2.15.0 when building the docs, producing
the following error:

    /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
                                                                  ^

This is, however, just a regression in xmllint that is already fixed [1]
but not yet released.  Fix the markup anyway because the trailing
whitespace is insignificant.

    To avoid this problem, taking a new full backup after changing the checksum
-   state of the cluster using <xref linkend="app-pgchecksums "/> is
+   state of the cluster using <xref linkend="app-pgchecksums"/> is
    recommended. Otherwise, you can disable and then optionally reenable
    checksums on the directory produced by <literal>pg_combinebackup</literal>
    in order to correct the problem.
