[New-bugs-announce] [issue7778] Typo(s) in ``itertools`` documentation reST marker

[Vincent Férotin]

New submission from Vincent Férotin <vincent.ferotin at gmail.com>:

In Python 2.6 ``itertools`` library documentation is a small typo in last paragraph (``projects/python/branches/release26-maint/Doc/library/itertools.rst``, rev. [77750]), see it at http://docs.python.org/library/itertools.html#recipes .

   (...) For example, the
   *dotproduct* recipe can be written as::

Note that previous ``*dotproduct*`` ref. could be marked as ``inline literal`` instead of *emphasis*, and then lines become::

   (...) For example, the
   ``dotproduct`` recipe can be written as::
