yes; I will try to correct that together with the other doc change
regarding ox compilation that's still on my to-do-list (since I normally
don't mess with gretl's cvs files apart from de.po I want to do it
properly when I'm not in a rush)
Ok, another to-do-item with 3.5 months delay...
I noticed that in the pdf function ref everything is ok and so there is
a difference between the pdf and the built-in func ref.
The reason seems to be in doc/commands/genr_funcs.xml
lines 893/894 (for 'cdf()'):
<equation status="inline" ascii="P(X < x)"
tex="$P(X \le x)$"/>,
and lines 2155/2156 (for 'invcdf()'):
<equation status="inline" ascii="P(X < x) = p"
tex="$P(X \le x) = p$"/>
Latex code '\le' does not translate to HTML code '<', instead it
should also be '≤'.
I will test this change here and probably commit it soon. (I'm still
feeling a little lost in gretl's doc files in cvs, but since I have
always felt the documentation is a really strong point of gretl I'm
trying to learn those structures so that I help with it at least sometimes.)
thanks,
