[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#471273: wrong section: 14.1.4 Rational Approximations

Package: octave3.0-info
Version: 1:3.0.0-9
Severity: normal

In the info docs, Chapter 14 is "Input and Output" and section 14.1
is "Basic Input and Output". 14.1.1 is "Terminal Output", 14.1.3 is
"Simple File I/O" etc.

But section 14.1.4 is titled "Rational Approximations" and refers to
rat (X, TOL), a rational approximation to X within tolerance defined
by TOL using a continued fraction expansion.

Looks like this 14.1.4 is a poor lost orphan.  It should go elsewhere,
I won't presume to suggest where :)

I'm filing against the info docs, which I use, but I presume it applies
to octave3.0-doc too.
