  [doc] adapting a paragraph in 6.4.2 (orthographic camera)

I suppose in 3.5 beta 10 there's a change concerning the syntaxis for
using different types of cameras.

Paragraph 6.4.2. of the docs starts with:

The following list explains the different projection types that can be
used with the camera. The most common types are the perspective and
orthographic projections. In
general the CAMERA_TYPE should be the first item in a camera statement.
If none is specified, the perspective camera is the default.

But further we can read:

If you add the orthographic keyword after all other parameters of a
perspective camera you'll get an orthographic view with the same image
area

So to obtain an orthographic view in beta 10 one has to change the place
of the word "orthographic".
