Hi guys,

In _Documenting Python_, section 4.1 Syntax, a
paragraph begins:

 For example, a macro named ``foo'' which takes a
single parameter would appear like this:

But the example macros use the name `name' instead of
`foo'. 

Since it's quite obvious what's going on, I suggest the
reference to foo is lost, so the leading sentence becomes:

For example, a macro wich takes a single parameter
would appear like this:
