This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

Many thanks for suggesting your patch in the online documentation editor and for taking the trouble to create this bug report.
