Hi,<br>
We corrected this faulty document yesterday.<br>
There was a problem in the script generating the online
documentation, thanks for reporting!<br>

<div>I might be doing something wrong here but the <b>Description</b> section
I see in <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html">http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html</a> is the
following:</div>

<div class="REFBODY" style="margin-left: 13mm; color: rgb(0,
0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: medium;">
<p>By convention, most built-in functions (BIFs) are seen as
being in the module <span class="code" style="font-family:
Courier, monospace;">erlang</span>. A number of the BIFs
are viewed more or less as part of the Erlang programming
language and are <strong>auto-imported</strong>. Thus, it
is not necessary to specify the module name and both the
calls<span class="code" style="font-family: Courier,
monospace;">atom_to_list(Erlang)</span> and <span
class="code" style="font-family: Courier, monospace;">erlang:atom_to_list(Erlang)</span> are
identical.</p>
<p>In the text, auto-imported BIFs are listed without module
prefix. BIFs listed with module prefix are not
auto-imported.</p>
<p>BIFs may fail for a variety of reasons. All BIFs fail
with reason <span class="code" style="font-family:
Courier, monospace;">badarg</span> if they are called
with arguments of an incorrect type. The other reasons
that may make BIFs fail are described in connection with
the description of each individual BIF.</p>
<p>Some BIFs may be used in guard tests, these are marked
with "Allowed in guard tests".</p>
</div>
<div>I couldn't find the reference to <b>erlang(3)</b> you
mention.<br>

<br>
Using Google to search for "erlang list_to_binary" the first
result I
<br>
get is <a moz-do-not-send="true"

true;">http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/<wbr>erlang.html</a>,
which states, in the
<br>
Description "The module erlang is moved to the runtime
system
<br>
application. Please see erlang(3) in the erts reference
manual
<br>
instead."
<br>
<br>
The link presented by erlang(3) points to the same page. Is
this normal?
<br>
<br>
Thanks. Cheers.
