I’ve noticed for some time now that the Home → Concepts page of the Reference Manual is missing the links for the 3 types of expressions (Old-Style, BeanShell and Property Match). That page has text placeholders for those links, but the actual links are missing. The content that those links should point to can be found on the Home → Module → Expressions page.
Also, the Range Expressions page has a typo at the start of the first paragraph (“locations”).
I would be willing to make these changes myself (assuming the manual is maintained as Markup or some other understandable format) if somebody points me the way.
Cheers,

The most direct–but not necessarily easiest if you are unfamiliar with Github–is to submit a pull request to the repository containing the fixes. Minimum requirements would be having a Github user account, create your own fork of the VASSAL repo, commit all your changes, and submit them as a pull request to the master repo for review and eventual inclusion.
Documentation is all in AsciiDoc format, and the specific pages you reference are here:
Concepts page
Range Expressions page
Actually, if you already have a GitHub account, or will be willing to make it, there’s a somewhat easier way to do it.
- Got to GitHub and log in
- Follow the link to the relevant page
- Click the
icon on the top-right
- Make your edits
- When done, press Commit Changes … and follow the instructions.
In that way, you will you edit the changes in the web-browser and you do not need a whole lot of familiarity with Git.
Yours,
Christian
