In the POV-Ray documentation on the page about string functions the
following is stated:

> substr(S,P,L) Sub-string from S. Returns a string that is
> a subset of the characters in parameter S starting at the
> position specified by the integer value P for a length
> specified by the integer value L. For example
> substr("ABCDEFGHI",4,2) evaluates to the string "EF".
> If P+L>strlen(S) an error occurs.

However, there are two errors. The last but one line should read:

> substr("ABCDEFGHI",4,2) evaluates to the string "DE".

And the last line should read:

> If P+L+1>strlen(S) an error occurs.

Or something like that.

Can anybody confirm?

And is this a known bug?
