example 2-23

The two "PROCESS menu..." directives should be indented by a couple
more spaces:

<table border="0">
[%
PROCESS menuitem
text = 'Earth'
link = 'earth.html';

PROCESS menuitem
text = 'Magrethea'
link = 'magrethea.html';
%]
</table>

...etc...

The final "BLOCK icon" section is indented incorrectly.

example 3-11

The indenting in this example is wrong. The BLOCK items defined
inside the VIEW should be indented, as should the items defined in
the 'people' list, at the end of ex 3-11 on page 115.

Output from Example 5-13

Example 5-13 shows some text that is passed through an HTML entity-izing filter, the
example is a price written in UK pounds, the pound sign in the price should be
converted to the correct HTML pound entity to demonstrate the filter.

The output of the example still shows the original pound sign instead the correct pound entity.

For consistency with example 11-6, the $* should be changed to $@, so the example

Example 11-44. Listing

The previous item of an FOREACH iteration is found by loop.prev _NOT_ by loop.last.
So the example should be spelled:

# set next/last if this is the actual page
page.prev = map.page.${loop.prev};
