code block at top of page

The example code will not run:
<fork name="forkActions">
<path name="echoA"/>
<path name="echoB"/>
</fork>

The correct syntax is:
<fork name="forkActions">
<path start="echoA"/>
<path start="echoB"/>
</fork>

according the manual:
https://oozie.apache.org/docs/3.2.0-incubating/WorkflowFunctionalSpec.html#a3.1.5_Fork_and_Join_Control_Nodes

Note from the Author or Editor:
It's path "start" and not "name." thats the typo. Fix below:

<fork name="forkActions">
<path start="echoA"/>
<path start="echoB"/>
</fork>
