Re: Example non-Latin words for text search parser docs?

Hmm ... I see a potential problem with that, which is that if someone
happened to be viewing the page on something that dropped the accents,
or even just made them too small to be easily readable, the examples
wouldn't make any sense at all.

I have no problem with "elephant" as a sample asciiword, but for the
sample non-ascii word I'd suggest something that (a) is clearly not
English and (b) as much as possible, everybody knows has an accent.
At least in large parts of the US, something like "mañana" would
work nicely.

Anyway, feel free to hack on it --- I'm getting a bit weary of looking
at that chapter.
