<refname>ST_Buffer</refname>
- <refpurpose>(T) For geometry: Returns a geometry that represents all points whose distance
- from this Geometry is less than or equal to distance. Calculations
- are in the Spatial Reference System of this Geometry. For geography: Uses a planar transform wrapper. Introduced in 1.5 support for
- different end cap and mitre settings to control shape. buffer_style options: quad_segs=#,endcap=round|flat|square,join=round|mitre|bevel,mitre_limit=#.#
+ <refpurpose>
+Returns a geometry covering all points within a given distance
+from the input geometry.

<refname>ST_Intersection</refname>
- <refpurpose>(T) Returns a geometry that represents the shared portion of geomA and geomB. The geography implementation
- does a transform to geometry to do the intersection and then transform back to WGS84.
+ <refpurpose>
+Returns a geometry that represents the shared portion of geomA and geomB.
