Description:
On the "Turning Off InnoDB" page in the 5.6 version of the manual, it states:

"Start the server with the --innodb=OFF or --skip-innodb option to disable the InnoDB storage engine."

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-turning-off.html

However, the --skip-innodb option is deprecated in 5.6, at least per the message in the error log:

"2014-11-08 18:47:28 13524 [Warning] The option innodb (skip-innodb) is deprecated and will be removed in a future release"

Thus it seems the above sentence in the manual should be adjusted accordingly.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
Remove "or --skip-innodb " from this sentence:

"Start the server with the --innodb=OFF or --skip-innodb option to disable the InnoDB storage engine."

Or leave in that it will work (because it still works in 5.6.21), but that "--skip-innodb is deprecated and will be removed", to be in sync with what the error log states.

As of MySQL 5.6.21, the "--skip-innodb" option still works but is
deprecated and will return a warning if used. It will be removed
in a future MySQL release. This also applies to its synonyms
("--innodb=OFF", "--disable-innodb", and so forth).

The documentation has been updated. The revised content should appear within
24 hours.
