Hi Tobin,

I have taken your patch and extended it slightly in order to tidy up
the wording.  Attached is the patch that I have committed.

>> I see that the patch prior to this one (commit d10ef45) has caused

I did not see this.  The documentation builds fine for me.  Are you sure 
that it is still a problem ?

Cheers
