hi. my python test.py script in [1] cut func.sgml from 31k lines to
13k lines by putting some contents to these 7 new files.
new file: func-admin.sgml
new file: func-aggregate.sgml
new file: func-datetime.sgml
new file: func-info.sgml
new file: func-json.sgml
new file: func-matching.sgml
new file: func-string.sgml

doc/src/sgml/filelist.sgml changes are addressed in the attached patch.
cutting func.sgml into half is ok for me.

in test.py , at line 35, i use
"os.chdir("/home/jian/Desktop/pg_src/src7/postgres/doc/src/sgml")"
you need to change to your corresponding "doc/src/sgml" directory.
overall, you need apply the attached patch, change test.py line 35.

main gotcha is based on pattern mentioned in [2] and
index layout from https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/functions.html
