[Firebird-docs] Review Firebird 4.0 Language Reference

[Mark R. <ma...@la...>]

I have a 'feature-complete' Firebird 4.0 Language Reference ready to go 
live, but it would be helpful if others take a second look. Maybe sample 
a few sections, check for weird stuff in rendering, or simply take a 
look at the content.

I'll publish the links on the site on Monday; maybe the current version, 
maybe after some further revision. I still have some TODOs in the source 
that I need to follow or just remove, but I think it is ready enough in 
its current state.

Missing reference to functions for working with decfloat operator.

In the Special Functions for `DECFLOAT` section of the Data Types chapter

--
// TODO add more specific link
Detailed descriptions are available in the _Built-in Scalar Functions_  
chapter.

Thanks, I'll check all TODOs today and fix that then as well.

I published newer versions to above links: I fixed most of my TODOs and 
added missing links, and fixed some issues with section levels.

I 'soft-launched' the language reference and put it online on 
https://firebirdsql.org/en/firebird-rdbms/ and 
https://firebirdsql.org/en/reference-manuals/

Hello,

I think, the good idea will be to include link to it to the launch 
message for release of 4.0.

Regards,
Alexey
