We had a mishmash of <replaceable>, <replaceable class="parameter">, and <parameter> markup for operator/function arguments. Use <parameter> consistently for things that are in fact names of parameters (including OUT parameters), reserving <replaceable> for things that aren't. The latter class includes some made-up-by-the-docs type class names, like "numeric_type", as well as placeholders for arguments that don't have well-defined types. Possibly we could do better with those categories as well, but for the moment I'm content not to have parameter names marked up in different ways in different places. (This commit aligns the earlier sections of chapter 9 with a policy that I'd arrived at while working on commit 1ad23335f, which is why the last few sections need no changes.)

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
