Details:
While this is inferable from the fact that data are contained in a matrix, it
would be certainly helpful if the docs of csvread, dlmread, csvwrite, dlmwrite
specified in their first line that they can only manage numeric data.
Also, the docs for csvread and dlmread should suggest the use of textread and
textscan as alternatives, especially when string data are involved.
The sentence "Octave can also read and write matrices text files such as comma
separated lists." looks wrong: probably "such" should be removed.
At the start of this section an overview of the available functions should be
written, with suggestions on which to use in what cases.
