Fixed the second two typos here: http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/32ddc111ff49.

These will also be in the 4.4.1 release.

I hit two small typos in the docstring of "size" and another place.  Here is the patch. (They are too small so I didn't open a new bug report.)

Version 4.2 of Octave is deprecated and no longer supported.  If you can, you should update to the latest stable release (4.4.0).  The first documentation issue you noticed has already been fixed there.  I fixed the second one on the stable branch which will become the bug fix release 4.4.1 shortly.  See http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/0e09d5fd7dab.

Marking as fixed and closing report.

3.3 Object Sizes
[...
: sz = size (a): dim_sz = size (a, dim): [rows, cols, …, dim_N_sz] = size (…)
# Example 4: number of output arguments  is less than the number of dimensions

Two issues :

1) missing parenthesis in "[nr, remainder] = size (ones (2, 3, 4, 5))"

2) The text "Example 4: number of output arguments != number of dimensions"  should read "Example 4: number of output arguments <  number of dimensions"
