    _______________________________________________________

Details:

'size' in page 45

Example 4: number of output arguments != number of dimensions
[nr, remainder] = size (ones (2, 3, 4, 5)
⇒ nr = 2
⇒ remainder = 60

missing a ")".

'nargout' in page 176

In the second usage,
nargout (@histc) \% or nargout ("histc")
will return 2, because histc has two outputs, whereas

"\%" should be "%"?

'setpref' in page 800

setpref ( "group", "pref", val )
addpref ( "group", { "pref1", "pref2", . . . } , { val1, val2, . . . })

"addpref" should be "setpref".

'open' in page 831

output = open file
output = open ( file )

should be

open file
output = open ( file )

because command-style calling cannot assign return values to variables, like
the bug fixed in the document of function 'edit'.
