The following diff fixes an incorrect ref in
the See also for rats:
[qss:octave] diff doc/interpreter/arith.texi doc/interpreter/arith.texi~
2104c2104
< @seealso{@ref{doc-rat,,rat}}
---

> @seealso{@ref{doc-format,,format}, @ref{doc-rat,,rat}}

==================================
I tried a hg commit -m
for this, but it said: nothing changed.

The doc/interpreter/octave.pdf generates correctly
with this change.

I checked in the following changeset to improve the @seealso lists for the functions in pr-output.cc:

The last line in 14.1.4 reads:
See also: [format], page 181, [rat], page 194.

There is no reference to rats in format.

I will look at your changeset in order to learn how
to do this kind of edit -- for future reference.

Thanks,
Michael

What is wrong with the see also for rats?

Definitely a mistake. Currently 14.1.4 at the end of
14.1 Basic Input and Output.

Candidate locations are:

17.5 Utility Functions
or
17.6 Special Functions

Matlab classifies rat and rats in "Specialized Math
Functions"

Also, the "See also" for rats needs correction.

After a decision on where to move rat and rats, and
some basic hints about how to do it, I could do the move.
A slight complication is that rat is a script in scripts/
general and rats is builtin.

It would be good to get this done before 3.4 release.

As you can see in doc/interpreter/io.txi
and the generated
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Basic-Input-and-Output.html#Basic-Input-and-Output

Rational Approximations (rat, rats) are under chapter
"Basic Input and Output"

I think this is placed there by mistake?
