I hope you realize that the examples in the manual have been
produced by exactly the code that you see when clicking on
the corresponding picture, so it's impossible that there's
an error (at least one that you don't also see in the example
in the manual). Are you sure that you use exactly the same
LilyPond version as the manual was written for (and produced
by)?

I came across the example in the LM 4.4.3 Outside-staff objects that
shows placement of some text objects above the staff. In the example the
word Slower is shown but when I copy/paste the section from the code
behind the picture it does not work as pictured, the word Slower is not
appearing in the resulting .pdf. There is a similar example is used in
the NR 5.4.5 Spanners - Using the |line-spanner-interface.

\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text)
= \markup { \small \bold Slower }
c2\startTextSpan b c a\stopTextSpan
(above copy/pasted straight from the NR 5.4.5)
That code does not display the word Slower. I tried it with the word in
quotes but it still does not display, the dashes do display, just not
the word.
