It *is* a mistake, so - good that it has been found. It has been
reported so that the person responsible for that chapter knows it
needs correction. [ FYI, "wip" stands for work in progress...the UFB
manual (of which I was the original author, back in 2002/Firebird
.9xx beta era) is certainly that...a matter of a far-too-small group
of documenters needing to combine a palaeontological mammoth with new
DNA to make fresh hamburgers. And - yes, you're right, we generate
both html and pdf from the same XML Docbook sources. ]
