help > scripting commands reference > report() > Additional Special Fields [ very end ] > triple space in this sentence:
See   examples below.

help > scripting commands reference > catalogload >
e: expand an included catalog.
maybe meant to be:
e: Expand an included catalog.

help > scripting commands reference > ceil > Examples > the unnecessary yellow piece in the fourth line

and there are also the unnecessary yellow pieces in the last lines here:
1) charview > Examples, 2) controlposition > Examples, 3) filesize > Examples, 4) fiter > Examples for Live Filters, 5) flattenfolder > Examples, 6) floor > Examples

i wasn't really sure if i should mention them at all so i just stopped myself at some point

these tiny yellow typos are unnecessary for me but if i knew for sure that they are indeed unnecessary (worth bothering) for you as well, then i would have certainly dedicated some more time on this and would have browsed the whole 'scripting commands reference' section from start till end

I noticed on the XY features web page, the 1st Info Panel more information right arrow link is broken, it contains a dollar sign, e.g /$/highlights.php#p6

Since I am making this post for the above, I will mention the following things too but they are very minor: In regards to the v19 PDF help file, on page 67
defined by the contents of edit box that is opened by the Configure button
could be "...contents of the edit box..." on page 491 under copyitem()
defaults to current item can be relative to current path
could be "...current item, can be relative..."

also on page 685, I am not sure if the handling of the <curver> variables has changed since the documentation, but I can't seem to get the extended syntax examples to work, such as: <curver|text*text>, <curver| [ver ]>, <curver|, v*> etc. ?

Thanks!

<curver> returns the version of the current list item. It only works when the currently selected item has a version info.

Code: Select all

v19.10.0206 - 2018-08-21 18:36
      - In all Windows versions before Win10 using this tweak is NOT usually NOT 
        necessary.
I guess
" - In all Windows versions before Win10 using this tweak is usually not
necessary."
would suffice.
