It is not different. :-)

The rule is:

   This is an example (and here some words).

or

   This is an example.  (This is a full sentence.)  The words still fly.

However, some English teachers in France say that the rule is:

   This is an example (and here some words.)

which is wrong -- at least -- in US and UK English, as you confirm for US. :-)


The patch fixes the issue and now the manual is compliant with the
standard.  Feel free to push it. ;-)

All the best,
simon
