where it says
+ <eg (: an example:)>{$i//title}</eg> is not syntactically valid.
+ <eg> (: an example:) </eg> is syntactically valid, but the characters that look like a comment are in fact literal
element content.
but forgets to add
+ <eg> {(: an example:)()} </eg> is what you must use if you
really must insist on having a comment there, believe it or not.
They should make a note of it.
Anyway, I'm beginning to fear poking the perhaps 'house of cards' syntax
at this late stage of the game.
