[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62417] Format names misspelled in documentation of format()

[Georg Wiora]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #62417 (project octave):

It was maybe my mistake to use quotes on the command line.
The following is not accepted:

>> format "short e"
error: format: unrecognized format state 'short e'

while these two command forms are accepted:

>> format short e
>> format "shorte"


But even when you use the function form

>> format("shorte")
>> format("short e")
error: format: unrecognized format state 'short e'

only the first version is accepted.

I have to admit that I am a bit puzzled by these results... Maybe it is more
than a documentation bug?
