Sorry if I stated the obvious! I interpreted your question wrongly. I 
don't know enough of the documentation system to defend it. Maybe 
someone else can answer this!?

I revised my answer now in the morning, hope you have seen it. An e2

you have accept some additional fixing, which is also documented below.
