Puppet users - Jun 2011 - Setting defaults on scoped definitions : Each Word Needs To Be Capitalized

Hi,

The documentation section gives a good example for the "exec" type :
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#resource-defaults

But for scoped definitions, I had to figure out that each word needs to
be capitalized, not just the first word :

Mymod::mydef { ''foo'': } gives Syntax error at
''::mydef''

What works is this (note the second capital ''M'') :

Mymod::Mydef { ''foo'': }

Could the documentation section about capitalization be updated to
include a scoped example and make it clear for everyone?
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#capitalization

I''m sure others will bump into this too, or already have :-)

Matthias

I believe that would be a good addition. You should raise a feature
request with category ''Documentation'' so its tracked:

Nice idea to hire document writers with clairvoyance skills :-).

I''ll second that! :-)

Thanks for the great work : The documentation has really been improving
a lot and my general feeling is that "things" are much easier to find
than before.
