true, I made bad copy/paste (and a few other english typos, as you can see).
Thanks for the report.

I fixed it, it should be available on the site in a few hours.

If you find other errors int he documentation, please open Jira issues. It's 
even better if you can propose a patch :)

Regards,

Hervé
