This is a report against the online octave manual. It looks like a new 
page has been rolled out. Congrats.

On the Mathematical Constants page:
http://www.octave.org/doc/Mathematical-Constants.html#Mathematical-Constants

the entries for "Built-in Variable: e", "Built-in Variable: eps", 
"Built-in Variable: realmax", and "Built-in Variable: realmin" are 
incomplete. It seems like the end of the sentence was cut off for some 
reason.

example:

— Built-in Variable: *eps*

    The machine precision. More precisely, |eps| is the largest relative
    spacing between any two adjacent numbers in the machine's floating
    point system. This number is obviously system-dependent. On machines
    that support 64 bit IEEE floating point arithmetic, |eps| is
    approximately
