Details:

This issue has been reported by Francesco Potortì against the Debian package
for Octave:

http://bugs.debian.org/721802

according to which, the function triangle_lw is mentioned in the manual but is
not accessible to the user.

Indeed, the functions rectangle_sw, rectangle_lw, triangle_sw, and triangle_lw
have been made private in this commit:
                                                                              
                                                        
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/0fed4935de94
                                                                              
                                                                              
            
By the same occasion, the corresponding @DOCSTRING() directives for those
functions should have been removed from signal.txi, but they are still there:
