Error in online documentation

I was reading the online documentaion for void safety at URL
http://docs.eiffel.com/book/method/void-safety-background-definition-and-tools.
Near the bottom of the page under heading "Rule for ARRAYs" it has "create
my_array.make_filled (1, 100, "")".  When I look at `make_filled' from class
ARRAY the signature is "make_filled (a_default_value: G; min_index,
max_index: INTEGER)".  Notice that in the online documentation the
`default_value' appears last but in class ARRAY it appears first.  I'm using
the experimental mode of EiffelStudio 6 (6.5.8.524 GPL Edition - win64).

Thank you, this is now fixed.

Note that you can also "Add new comment" on the online documentation.
This way, you can add extra information, or piece of code and similar.
Even report error in the documentation, even if for this, we would
prefer email, or bug report on the support.eiffel.com.
But if you use comment to report a doc error, we'll fix it, and
eventually remove the comment just after.

And if you feel like adding new page, you can contribute
http://docs.eiffel.com/book/community/community as a contributor (you
need to request this privilege first). And eventually the content will
be part of the official documentation.

Regards,
Jocelyn
