New description:
When you look at
[http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/schemes/elliptic_curves/sha_tate.html
this], there are a number of things wrong or confusing in the
documentation.
Most importantly, several instances of Sha should have ticks, probably.
But are they referring to the mathematical object
{{{
`Sha`
}}}
or the computer structure of the class
{{{
``Sha``
}}}
? If I knew what was intended (given that the distinction is quite
small), I would do this patch myself. But it looks like sometimes the
group is intended, other times the class object.
In line 756 we have
{{{
We get no information the curve has rank 2.::
}}}
