Author writes that code can be downloaded from the Examples link on the book?s page. I do not see any Examples link when I visit the book's page.

Fig 1-2
Figure 1-2

Figure 1-2, third row only adds up to 11 not 12.

The first 2 should be a 3.

Figure 1-2

On the third row of the figure, the columns in the grid are stated like this: "2" "blank" "span7 offset 2"
But for a valid grid12 layout, it should be "3" "blank" "span7 offset 2"
(actually the first column's width equals 3 columns, but is wrongly stated as 2).

"seperate" at top p.8
"any divided" -> "any divider" under Breadcrumbs on p.58

"toggle the slideshow" under Usage on p.76 should be "modal"?

p.96 Table 4-13 "Carousel" should be "Typeahead"

No mention of icon fonts

The HTML code doesn't mention the .initialism class being demonstrated, and the abbr tag surrounds the entire sentence.

paragraph "Abbreviations" bottom

"Add . initialism to .." should be "Add class=initialism to .."; and code example should be:
<abbr title="rolling on the floor, laughing out loud" class="initialism">That..</abbr>

We have a web page for this book, where we list errata, examples, and any additional information. You can access this page at http://oreil.ly/bootstrap-web.

Book says there are examples at the specified website, but I could find no example code. It's a waste of reader time to type in example code manually, so author should provide example code for readers as the book text states.

Author should provide example code so that reader can follow along in their desktop browser and code editor.

The second item on the list reads "Right the book". I believe this should be "Write the book."

Warning at the top of the page

Warning states:

WARNING: Make sure that when you use the `<pre>` and `<code>` tags, you use the unicode variants for the opening and closing tags: `&lt;` and `&gt;`.

Should instead read:
WARNING: Make sure that when you use the `<pre>` and `<code>` tags, you should use the HTML entities for `<` and `>` inside these tags: `&lt;` and `&gt;`.

From Steve Peters

There is no such thing as Unicode variants of HTML tags. These HTML entities are defined by the HTML spec to represent various characters would otherwise be represented as parts of tags. You can also use numeric HTML entities to represent Unicode characters, but it is much easier to just set the charset appropriately and type the characters in. This idea codes from HTML's ancestor SGML and is carried through to XML as well.

I think it would lack a statement in the example code:

"class="initialism"

Table 4-13 head

It says: "Table 4-13. Carousel options"

It should say: "Table 4-13. Typeahead options"
