Globbing documentation

Hello,

I am quite confused about the documentation of the extended globbing.

It seems there is a mistake on the page:
http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Intro/intro_2.html

If I believe the results of my tests,

% ls *run<>*
run123  run2    run234  run240  run303

*is WRONG.*

% ls *run<->*
run123  run2    run234  run240  run303

*is the RIGHT command.*

Maybe someone can please correct the typo.

Cheers
Sébastien

The Intro document on sourceforge is not up to date with respect to the
source.  This typo was fixed on April 25, 2012.  Anyone able to update
the HTMLified copy?

It looks like the original .texinfo source, which is required for
the HTML version, is no longer available. By using the .ms
version we can still create the PS/PDF version of the intro.

Any ideas what we should do we the intro's HTML version? Remove
it?

Regards,
Simon

I don't think there ever was an original .texinfo source -- it was always
generated from intro.ms.  zsh.texi has been generated from the manual
pages (rather than the intro document) for as far back as I have records.

There must at some point have been a way to convert the .ms to HTML.  It
probably wasn't this --

The easiest is probably to manually apply the changes made to intro.ms
to the HTML file.
