To alter how CSV data is converted to Arrow types and data, you should create
-a :class:`ConvertOptions` instance and pass it to :func:`read_csv`.
+a :class:`ConvertOptions` instance and pass it to :func:`read_csv`::

Review comment:
And here's me testing the example executes without exception:
```
>>> from pyarrow import csv
>>> import pyarrow as pa
>>> table = csv.read_csv(
... "tips.csv",
... convert_options=pa.csv.ConvertOptions(
... column_types={
... "total_bill": pa.decimal128(precision=10, scale=2),
... "tip": pa.decimal128(precision=10, scale=2),
... }
... ),
... )
>>> print(table)
pyarrow.Table
total_bill: decimal(10, 2)
tip: decimal(10, 2)
sex: string
smoker: string
day: string
time: string
size: int64
```
Note: It took me a while to find the dataset in question. Looks like it's in
the pandas repo. A link to it from these docs would be nice.
