Hello, I noticed a small typo in the HTML documentation for BIRD 2.17.1, in the Filters section: https://bird.nic.cz/doc/bird-2.17.1.html#filters In the example filter *not_too_far*, the comparison uses the HTML entity *&g* t instead of the literal *>* character. If you copy the example as-is into a BIRD configuration file, the line *if rip_metric > 10 then* causes a “Unknown character” error when BIRD parses the configuration. Replacing > with > fixes the problem: *if rip_metric > 10 then* It would be helpful if the documentation could be updated so the example uses the correct > character, to avoid confusing users who copy the example directly.
