I modified the text slightly to use @code{} around keywords such as "for" and "parfor".  I also put a Warning: header before the remark that parfor is currently equivalent to for in order to draw more attention to it.  I committed it to the stable branch here https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/21708bdc1c07.

Marking as fixed and closing report.

parfor's parallelism aspect is currently unimplemented, so while the doco says it "may execute in parallel", it actually won't ever. Maybe we should clarify that in its doco?
