_______________________________________________________
Details:
In https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52772 I noted the ... and \ continuation
"operators" in the PDF user manual. In the online help there are also some
issues. The ... has an extraneous bit about the director "/home" in it.
I.e.,
octave:5> help("...")
'...' is the directory /home
-- ...
Continuation marker.
Joins current line with following line.
I launched octave from two levels deep in the above example so it is
apparently going back two levels. The main issue is the directory printout.
I think this is another example of the similar issue with "help ./" solved
here
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=50034#comment8
The secondary issue is simply that "help \" doesn't mention the possible use
as a continuation marker, just the division operator:
octave:6> help('\')
-- \
Left division operator.
See also: .\, /, ldivide, mldivide.
