Thank maintainers' great work on GNU Octave.

The development code base had changed a bit more from the 4.0.3 code. I had to modify which.m and help.m. In addition, the documentation for any operator with a '\' character was incorrect because it was not escaped either. I fixed that as well. See the changeset (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/18b863e3b1e2).

Also, I notice that you have submitted several patches along with bug reports. If you would like to be credited for your work I can add you to the list of Contributors that appears at the front of the Octave manual. Also, I can start checking in patches under your name if you like. We generally use the form

But it is up to you. Some people prefer to remain anonymous.

This is because some characters when put in double quote (") should be backslash escaped.
Possible solution:

Then the result is correct:

Other operators are OK. I use this command to test.
