I was excitedly reading the Treetop documentation when I came across a
few minor typos that I thought I'd point out.

On http://treetop.rubyforge.org/semantic_interpretation.html:
"Than node will be extended with methods defined in the subsequent
block."
I'm guess this should be
"The node will be extended with methods defined in the subsequent
block."

On http://treetop.rubyforge.org/syntactic_recognition.html:
"Parsers will greedily match an expression one or more times if it is
followed by the star (+) symbol."
This should probably be
"Parsers will greedily match an expression one or more times if it is
followed by the plus (+) symbol."

Lastly, on http://treetop.rubyforge.org/using_in_ruby.html:
"You can .treetop files into Ruby source code with the tt command line
script."
should be
"You can compile .treetop files into Ruby source code with the tt
command line script."

Great work, I'm looking forward to Treetop guiding my foray into PEGs.

Vlad,

Thanks for the doco fixes. I've applied them and pushed to git.
The website (treetop.rubyforge.org) hasn't yet been updated because
Erector (a gem used to build it) is broken in the current release, and
rather than work around it, I'm waiting for a fix.

The Treetop gem hasn't been re-released, so your local docs will
still be wrong too.

Clifford Heath.
