[matplotlib-devel] Spelling errors in the documentation

2010-02-16 Thread Philipp Bender
Hi,

because Wayne Watson complained in -users repeatedly about spelling errors 
without fixing or really pointing us to them I tried to find some in the 
chapter he mentioned and fixed them. Because I am not a native speaker I hope 
I did not correct already correct things.

I attached the diff file.

Please watch it _only_ if you have the time left, it's *really* no big thing.

Cheers
Philipp Bender

Thanks Phillip for taking the time to convert this doc bug report from
the users list into a proper patch.  Many of the
usages of axes that Wayne flagged as incorrect in his original report
are actually correct, so some of the patch is not correct but I
understand you were just converting his report into a usable patch.
But there were a couple of fixes in the patch that were worth applying
so I made these in svn HEAD.

 PS: Sphinx is great, good decision!

Yes, it's been great.  We've developed a number of extensions, notably
the ipython and plot directives, that make writing documentation very
natural and easy, and overall I've been very happy with sphinx.
