I fixed the problems you uncovered in this cset (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/f8bbaacefc33).

I chose to use the common syntax for complex numbers of "a+bi" rather than "a+i*b".

Chapter 7.3, page 130, before the function "who",
there is an example (in "doc/interpreter/var.txi" line 315)
but to run it will raise a warning
because "who" has no option "-variables".

I don't know how to update this example in the document.

1.
Chapter 4, page 48, function complex
It seems that "re + im" should be "re + i*im".

2.
Section 6.1.2, page 105
x is a 1x2 struct array, so the text "2-by-1" should be "1-by-2".

3.
Section 6.1.4, page 110, function setfield
Section 12.2.1, page 224, function warning
Section 18.3, page 519, function qz
There are uppercase "XREF" prefix before the function names in the PDF document only in these three places. I 'grep' the files and find that only these three places are "xref{XREFfuncname}" but all others are "xref{XREFfuncname,,funcname}". I'm not very familiar with Texinfo, so I'm not sure whether this is a bug.
