Should be "This is only valid...". I checked in the fix.

A rewrite is welcome.

IMO the manual entry for recode needs a complete rewrite.

Some of the sentences don't make any grammatical sense, for example : "This is only value if the source and target variables are of the same type.", and sentences are which don't seem to have any connection with each other are concatenated into paragraphs. Paragraph breaks are seemingly arbitrary.

There generally seems to be no coherence to the text, which I find hard to follow.
