I see no reason to allow a doc to be a potential "turn-off" for some future user. True, it would be their loss, but this is an easy fix, right? I'd a tad new to this, is there a CVS revision number for this document? The file in question is: /usr/share/doc/en/books/faq/x.html and the same error appears in the WWW version, or at least it did yesterday. Thanks for considering this change, and keep up the good work, doc! (sorry, probably an old pun....) >How-To-Repeat: Read section 11.2 of the FreeBSD "FAQ". >Fix: I have two patches inline, below. The first might be the best, the second is more "faithful to the original".
