Built-in help for DAYOFWEEK [SOLVED] - JMB - 11-01-2018 01:13 PM

Browsing the built-in help for DAYOFWEEK, I've seen some typographic errors in the "Examples:" section.
There are some <var> and </var> that shouldn't be there, and also a long arrow ---->.
Please, see attached image.

Strange. I will have to look at that.

The same problem happens to the built-in help of the SOLVE function of the Solve App.

This case is even stranger, because the extra characters that appear are different in my real calculator (1st image) and in the virtual calculator (2nd image). And in my real calculator if I press ESC and then HELP again, a different set of extra characters may appear.

The problem also appears in the HP Prime Lite for Android (just now updated to the new 2018 10 16 version).

Yup, I''m pretty sure the html stuff bled over in an unanticipated case...

The problem in the help system seems to be solved in FW 2020 01 16.
