Missprint in help

Hello vim-dev,
     While rereading help I've found mispring:

I used the :helpg command to search for such errors, and found another

While we're at it, I found an error under ":help i_CTRL-V_digit":

*insert.txt*    For Vim version 7.0aa.  Last change: 2005 Feb 21
line 274
there is:

o or O		octal		   3		255

there should be:

o or O		octal		   3		377	(255)

for consistency with the following lines.

Best regards,
Tony.

Thanks for the corrections, I'll include them.  These mistakes will
probably be less frequent when spell checking works.  I'm currently
working on using the Myspell files (used in OpenOffice.org and Mozilla).

I'll change that.  Thanks.

I wouldn't count on spell check to catch "its" => "it's" errors, since
"its" is also a legitimate English word (the possessive pronoun). :)

Example:
It's lost its ability to turn.

Phil's Law - when pointing out a typo or grammatical, one makes a typo or grammatical error.  Especially when
more egregious than the original one pointed out.

Since you're doing it for XML, you might add a todo item of equal 
priority to check, in HTML files, the first few lines (it's usually not 
the first one) for a tag of the format:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

which must come before the </HEAD> closing tag. I think it is 
case-insensitive but I'm not 100% sure. I suppose that if both items you 
quoted become possible it should be a small matter to add this kind of 
detection in the appropriate vim script (ftplugin/html.vim maybe?). 
Maybe through a new autocommand event triggered after a "preliminary 
read" (call it ModeLine, EncodingDetect, whatever)? Or maybe define a 
buffer-local boolean allowing BufReadPost autocommands to trigger a 
re-read with some options changed? ('fileencoding' being the prime

Re[2]: Missprint in help

Hello Kevin,

      Thanks for correction. I'm not very accurate while wrting, even
in my native language. But while reading I stumble over misprints
(Wish it be vice-versa). Sorry for mistakes in my letter(s).

      PS:
         Don't spellcheck this letter, or it will be infinite
         process.  ;)
