Description:
I encountered various typographical errata while reading Peter Gulutzan's article entitled "MySQL 5.0 Stored Procedures".

Page 7:
- The second slash is rendered incorrectly in “DELIMITER ;//” and the linebreak before this seems out of place. Also, it's not necessary to include the old delimiter when changing the delimiter.
- Just after that, this line is repeated twice, the first time in a confusing and irrelevant location:
CREATE PROCEDURE p1 () SELECT * FROM t; //              <--
- As a matter of fact, that same line is repeated 4 times within a few paragraphs...

Page 8:
- The section title "Why MySQL Statements are Legal in a Procedure Body" should probably read "What MySQL Statements are Legal in a Procedure Body"
- The first paragraph of that section has a strange linebreak before "remember is that your code..."

How to repeat:
N/A

I didn't write the article, and I can do nothing about
fixing it.  I am reassigning to Peter G. for further action.

Thanks for the notice. Technically we can't call this a "bug" since the stored-procedures document was an article, rather than a part of the documentation. However, I've made corrections taking your observations into account, so if MySQL ever decides to put out a new version of the article, it will be better.
