+      Specifies whether to drop the replication slot on the publisher.  The

+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+      If the publisher is not reachable when the subscription is to be
+      dropped, then it is useful to specify <literal>NODROP SLOT</literal>.
+      But the replication slot on the publisher will then have to be removed
+      manually.
