Example in ":help v_b_I_example" is not correct

[Yegappan Lakshmanan]

Hi,

The example shown in ":help v_b_I_example" doesn't work properly.
After executing the commands, in the third line, the following text is
present:

abcdef ghi STRING <Tab>jklmnopqrstuvwxyz

instead of the following:

abcdef ghi STRING<Tab>jklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Note the additional two spaces before <Tab> after "STRING".

Yeah, that's what happens. I sometimes clean up white space, then a
space before a tab is usually undesired, but here it's supposed to stay.

If "R" is Reverse, how come "D" is FORWARD?

The example under ":help v_b_I_example" shows only the <Tab>
character after STRING without the two space characters. If the two
space characters after STRING are expected, then the help text needs
to be updated.
