What the documentation calls an exclude_element is an index_elem
according to gram.y, and it allows all the same options that
a CREATE INDEX column specification does. The COLLATE patch
neglected to update the CREATE/ALTER TABLE docs about that,
and later the opclass-parameters patch made the same oversight.
Add those options to the syntax synopses, and polish the
associated text a bit.
Back-patch to v13 where opclass parameters came in. We could
update v12 with just the COLLATE omission, but it doesn't quite
seem worth the trouble at this point.

Linking within DocBook documents can be confusing, so here is a summary:
Intra-document Linking
----------------------
<xref>
use to get chapter/section number from the title of the target
link, or xreflabel if defined at the target, or refentrytitle if target
is a refentry; has no close tag
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/xref.html
linkend=
controls the target of the link/xref, required
endterm=
for <xref>, allows the text of the link/xref to be taken from a
different link target title
<link>
use to supply text for the link, only uses linkend, requires </link>
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/link.html
can be embedded inside of <command>, unlike <xref>
External Linking
----------------
<ulink>
like <link>, but uses a URL (not a document target); requires
</ulink>; if no text is specified, the URL appears as the link
text
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/ulink.html
url=
used by <ulink> to specify the URL, required
Guidelines
----------
- For an internal link, if you want to supply text, use <link>, else
<xref>.
- Specific nouns like GUC variables, SQL commands, and contrib modules
usually have xreflabels.
- For an external link, use <ulink>, with or without link text.
- xreflabels added to tags prevent the chapter/section for id's from being
referenced; only the xreflabel is accessible. Therefore, use xreflabels
only when linking is common, and chapter/section information is unneeded.
